    A

    Explanation:

    As a new faculty member, Susan wanted to succeed is correct, because to succeed is the infinitive being used as a direct object in this sentence. What did Susan want? She wanted "to succeed" (thus "to succeed" is the direct object of the verb "wanted.")

    The answer is A.

    Explanation:

    Infinitive is a non-finite verb form (verb forms that do not have person, tense or number). It can function as a noun, adjective or adverb.

    For example: to sing

    Direct object is a word or a phrase which receives the action of the subject or it is under the influence of it. Generally it comes after a verb (without preposition).

    For example: She made a cake.

    Considering that direct object comes after a verb, in only one example we see that kind of construction and that is the answer A.
