I nees help with infinitive phrases and if it is a noun, adj., or adv. My question is:
The political prisoner refused to denounce his principles.

The infinitive phrase is <b>to denounce his principles</b>.

This phrase answers "what" after renounce. That means the phrase is a direct object. What part of speech is a direct object?
