Outlining his strategy for nursing the troubled conglomerate back to health, the chief executive’s plans were announced on Wednesday for cutting the company’s huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months.

(A) executive’s plans were announced on Wednesday for cutting the company’s huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months
(B) executive’s plans, which are to cut the company’s huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months, were announced on Wednesday
(C) executive’s plans for cutting the company’s huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months were announced on Wednesday
(D) executive announced plans Wednesday to cut the company’s huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months
(E) executive announced plans Wednesday that are to cut the company’s huge debt by selling nearly $12 billion in assets over the next 18 months



小小钻下牛角尖,这道题刚开头,为何不用to nurse 表目的,而要用for doing.

曾经看到过大牛解释,但这里还是搞不清楚:
*关于to do 和for doing的区别:

in general, the modifier “to + verb” is used to signal the goal or purpose of an action/statement, while “for + verbing” conveys the idea that the action is, in some generic way, oriented toward the process of “verbing”.

in many instances, therefore, both constructions are fine. for instance:
i need to get a new pair of shoes to run --> this sentence implies that “to run” is the ultimate goal (which, presumably, hasn't yet been achieved). in other words, according to this wording, i can't run until i get a new pair of shoes; therefore, “to run” is the ultimate goal or purpose of getting a new pair of shoes.

i need to get a new pair of shoes for running --> this sentence just means that i need to get a new pair of running shoes (= shoes whose purpose is oriented toward the general process of running). this sentence is different, in the sense that it doesn't portray描述 the act of running some sort of remote goal or purpose that hasn't yet been achieved; it merely identifies the reason why i'm getting the shoes.


求指导

我有看到这样解释的,Gmat在出提示未划线部分是不完全按照他自己的语法体系的,也就是说,只有在划线部分才是正规的考察语法体系,而他们自己在为划线部分有时候是不遵守的~貌似

for nursing 和to nurse这两个都是对的
GMAC出过很多条题都是用for doing表目的的
所以别把这个当成判断排除错误答案的逻辑。
to表目的更明确,但是需要有逻辑主语来完成这个动作for sb to do sth.句子里面必须要包括这个sb才能够省略掉这个for sb直接用to do
假如没有动作的发起者就必须要用for doing
比如,This computer is designer for detecting signal,这里就不能用to detect signal.
