Answer :

1. To enter the race, the runners must fill out a form and pay a fee.

"To enter the race," is A: an infinitive phrase.

2. He used a dictionary to check his spelling.

"To check his spelling," is also A: an infinitive phrase.

*To identify an infinitive phrase*
Infinitive phrases contain "to," followed by a verb and other objects or modifiers.
An infinitive by itself is just "to," followed by a verb.

4. Somebody from the girls' volleyball team accidentally washed ____ uniform with bleach.

If we didn't know the gender of the person washing the uniform, then D: their would be the answer, as it is a gender-neutral term. But because we know the gender (somebody from the girls' volleyball team), the correct answer is C: her.
