0#2-- a is right 02br
00#3-- c is right. b is not right, because here 'education' should be countable. 02br
00#4-- Nope. 'Continue' can take either infinitive or -ing form, but 'butter' cannot take an article here, and intentions are signaled, not signed. 02br

0Finite verbs are inflected for tense, person or number; nonfinite verbs are not. Nonfinite verbs are the infinitive (to do), and the unaccompanied 'ing' and 'ed' forms. What we are actually concerned with here, however, are finite and nonfinite clauses (i.e. those including finite and nonfinite verbs, respectively). (A nonfinite clause can also have no verb) 02br
