Question

The foundation refused ---- the grant until the applicants had submitted a detailed budget breakdown.

Accepted Answer

to release — 'Refuse' fiilinden sonra daima 'to + V1' ('to release') gelir; bu fiil isim-fiil almaz. 'Releasing' bu nedenle yanlıştır. 'To be released' edilgendir ve vakfın serbest bırakılan taraf olduğunu söyler, oysa hibeyi veren vakıftır.
