Dear teachers,
Please help me with the following two questions:
Q1: Jack turned himself into a coin and jumped into the purse, only
____ himself next to a crosss. (A) to find (B) finding
Which is the correct answer? Or both are OK?

Q2: I have come up with the answer before they ask me the question.
Does this sentence sound OK to you?
Or what's wrong with the meaning or tense(,especially ask) of this
sentence?
If it's wrong, what is the correct way to express the same idea?

I am grateful for your help. Vincent

Q1. to find.

Q2 Your sentence is perfectly OK. It means that he anticipates the question.
