Відповідь:

In this exercise, you are asked to find the odd word in the chain of verbs where you can use either gerunds or infinitives. The odd word in each chain is the one where you can only use a gerund. Here are the odd words in each chain:

1) deny - admit

2) offer - risk

3) put off - carry on

4) admit

5) expect

6) enjoy - adore

7) can't help

8) delay - postpone

9) can't stand - have difficulty - mind - plan

10) be busy - spend time

The odd words are those that do not typically allow infinitives after them.
