✔ 最佳答案
按問題的要求n.+to ...

Q1正確。
但是一般英語寫法會是:
My failure in passing the exam disppointed my parent.
因為failure這noun接下去的事已過去,用infitive to似是未發生或將要做,意思上有點混亂。這跟文法習作沒有關係,只係這條問題的內容出得不好。

Q2跟Q1一樣,假如只按習作要求,不能說你錯,但是:
My ability to play the piano...前部份是意思是你的彈琴能力,ability這名詞並不是指你能否在四時琴這情況上。一時之間想不到如何改動或改寫可以改變。
假如是寫出surprise是因為他能夠在四時這個時間來彈琴,可能不可以用這form.
It is to our surprise that he was able to play the piano at four.

Q3.有點不對:
This robot will have the ability to detect cockroches accurately.
不明白你寫時(detect)是甚麼意思,但單有ability而沒有ability of/to甚麼是不行的。

Q1 ; to pass如果是infinitive在這句就不适用,因為不定詞的工作時間是滯遲過主動詞failed就唔多妥.因要先有考試才會肥咗.
將to pass改為noun=pass
例I failed the pass =S+V+O
of the examination................prep. phrase解說肥咗什麼.
that disapointed my parents.用clause=連成一句.that関係連詞作從句,

Q2 ; 也要用that轉從句.因只涉及一宗事,不用分兩句.


Q3 ; 因為將會=will不能知道其智能精確.將will have改為完成式have + had.
