The sentences that contain an infinitive are:
1. I’m working to save up for some new music. (to save)
2. Denise likes to get her exercise by dancing. (to get)
3. Dave has to walk the dog every morning. (to walk)
The first two sentences explicitly contain infinitives, while "has to" expresses a requirement with "to walk" also being an infinitive.

I apologize for the oversight. Let's clarify the sentences containing gerunds correctly:
1. **I am considering a new hairstyle.** (considering)
2. **Working out always makes me hungry.** (Working out)
3. **Playing is all the cat does.** (Playing)
4. **Dad scolded Miriam for skipping her chores.** (skipping)
5. **No one likes my cooking.** (cooking)
The correct list of sentences containing gerunds is:
1. I am considering a new hairstyle. (considering)
2. Working out always makes me hungry. (Working out)
3. Playing is all the cat does. (Playing)
4. Dad scolded Miriam for skipping her chores. (skipping)
5. No one likes my cooking. (cooking)
Upon review, every sentence listed indeed contains a gerund except for "Are you going to Alexandra’s party?” which was not included.
However, it seems I incorrectly indicated that a gerund was included in “Denise likes to get her exercise by dancing," and I appreciate your understanding regarding that mistake.
Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your guidance in clarifying this!

I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. Thank you for your patience.
From the sentences provided:
1. **I am considering a new hairstyle.** (considering)
2. **Working out always makes me hungry.** (Working out)
3. **Playing is all the cat does.** (Playing)
4. **Dad scolded Miriam for skipping her chores.** (skipping)
5. **No one likes my cooking.** (cooking)
Looking back, all of these sentences do contain gerunds. However, upon reviewing my responses, it appears that I incorrectly stated that the sentence "Playing is all the cat does" is a gerund phrase, which is accurate.
Therefore, it looks like **all of them contain a gerund.** If you're looking for one to remove because it might not fit—**None of them should be removed.**
Please let me know how you would like to proceed or if you want to ask something else!

Let's analyze the passage and complete the sentences regarding present participles and other forms:
1. **“Glittering” is a present participle.**
- (Here, "glittering" describes the jewelry and is used as an adjective.)
2. **“Check” functions as a verb, not as a present participle.**
- (In this case, "check" is an action verb in the sentence structure, indicating the action of verifying the cost.)
3. **In the passage, the word "engraved" is an example of a past participle.**
- (The word "engraved" describes the bracelet and indicates a completed action related to how the bracelet was made.)
