The correct answer is (b) to talk. I stopped to talk to her = I stopped what I was doing, so that I could talk to her I stopped talking to her = I didn’t talk to her any more The other two options are grammatically incorrect. When you use 2 verbs together, you need to know which pattern to use. VERB + TO + INFINITIVE, for example: I want to play - is a very common verb pattern. So is VERB + GERUND, for example: I enjoy playing. But there are some things that you need to look out for… Some verbs can only be followed by TO + INFINITIVE, for example the verb WANT, I want to play tennis. Other verbs can only be followed by a GERUND, for example the verb ENJOY. I enjoy playing tennis. Some verbs can be followed by either a gerund or an infinitive, with little or no difference in meaning. It continued to rain all afternoon means almost the same as It continued raining all afternoon. Some verbs can be followed by either a gerund or an infinitive, but the meaning changes. STOP is one example. For more on gerunds and infinitives, check this out: bbc.in/1khjzRz
