Infinitives Used as Appositives/ Attributes
Recently, I encountered an item from a grammatical test that is really confusing:
Which of the following italicized parts serve as an appositive?
A. He is the man to draw back.
B. Tony hit back the urge to tell a lie.
C. His ambition to become an astronaut deserves our support.
The answer is B, and it was said that the infinitives in C and A serve as attributes. Why? I thought B and C looks similar in sentence structure. How come that they are different ?
I would be really appreciated if you could help me with this grammatical puzzle!!
