Which sentence contains a split infinitive? Our mission is to boldly go where no one has gone before. I am unhappy when I eat alone. I happily went home to read. When did you meet her, here or at the house?

The first sentence contains a split infinitive because it means that to is separated from the verb. In this case, boldly stands between to and go.

The correct answer is the first sentence - Our mission is to boldly go where no one has gone before.

An infinitive is the primary form of a verb: it consists of the word TO and the actual verb. For example: to play, to sing, to write, to dance, etc. A split infinitive means that there is a word (usually an adverb) placed between TO and the verb so that they are separated. In sentence 1, which is the correct answer, the adverb boldly is placed between to and go.
