Hi Sunil,
Thanks a lot.

I see---Then it's comma+adverb+infinitive rather than comma+infinitive.


hi -- these structures wouldn't be different; adverbs don't alter the grammar of a structure. (neither do adjectives.)
i.e., adverbs and adjectives can change meaning, but not grammar.

i went and looked at the og12 #30 explanation -- and, honestly, i have no idea what it means (i don't know what a "nonrestrictive adjectival phrase" is). however, in that problem, i don't think "to protect" would work even if the comma were absent.
by the way, some 5-10% of the SC *explanations* in og12 are either flawed or outright incorrect; i guess this is one of them. (by contrast, the correct answers themselves are never flawed.)
