To fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verb in parentheses (gerund -ing form or full infinitive - to + base form), we need to decide whether the verb takes the gerund form (base verb + "-ing") or the full infinitive form (to + base verb). Let's analyze each sentence: 1) I enjoy...(read) books in my free time. - Correct form: **reading** -> gerund form since "enjoy" is followed by another verb. 2) She promised...(help) me with my homework. - Correct form: **to help** -> full infinitive form since "promise" is followed by the full infinitive. 3) They hate...(wait) in long lines. - Correct form: **waiting** -> gerund form since "hate" is followed by another verb. 4) He agreed...(join) us for dinner. - Correct form: **to join** -> full infinitive form since "agree" is followed by the full infinitive. 5) Do you mind...(close) the window? - Correct form: **closing** -> gerund form since "mind" is followed by another verb. 6) We love...(go) to the beach during summer. - Correct form: **going** -> gerund form since "love" is followed by another verb. 7) She refused...(apologize) for her mistake. - Correct form: **to apologize** -> full infinitive form since "refused" is followed by the full infinitive. 8) I can't stand...(listen) to that song anymore. - Correct form: **listening** -> gerund form since "stand" is followed by another verb. 9) He suggested...(take) a different route to avoid traffic. - Correct form: **taking** -> gerund form since "suggested" is followed by another verb. 10) They want...(travel) to Europe next year. - Correct form: **to travel** -> full infinitive form since "want" is followed by the full infinitive. Therefore, the correct forms are: 1) reading 2) to help 3) waiting 4) to join 5) closing 6) going 7) to apologize 8) listening 9) taking 10) to travel
