Answer 2

Sure, I can help you with that. Here are the corrected sentences with the appropriate word choices:

1. Joe and Simon managed to climb the West Face of Siula Grande.
2. Simon tied two ropes around Joe, and started to lower his injured friend.
3. Simon imagined both himself and his friend dying in the snow and ice.
4. For a moment, Simon Yates felt like giving up.
5. But then he decided to cut the rope and save his own life.
6. He continued descending the mountain.

The rule with a gerund and an infinitive can be summarized as follows:

• Use the infinitive form (to + base form of the verb) after verbs like "decide," "want," "plan," "choose," and "like."
• Use the gerund form (verb + -ing) after verbs like "enjoy," "mind," "can't stand," "avoid," and "consider."

For example:

• Infinitive: He decided to cut the rope.
• Gerund: He enjoys climbing mountains.
