    Solution

    After some verbs like learn, know, ask, explain, understand, remember, etc., a question word + infinitive ‘to’ should be used. So, here, ‘how’ is a question word and can be correctly used in between ‘understand’ and ‘to take’. Even if you teach me many times, I will never understand how to take advantage of a situation.
