207, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a late nineteenth-century feminist, called for urban apartment houses including child-care facilities and clustered suburban houses including communal eating and social facilities. (A) including child-care facilities and clustered suburban houses including communal eating and social facilities (B) that included child-care facilities, and for clustered suburban houses to include communal eating and social facilities (C) with child-care facilities included and for clustered suburban houses to include communal eating and social facilities (D) that included child-care facilities and for clustered suburban houses with communal eating and social facilities (E) to include child-care facilities and for clustered suburban houses with communal eating and social facilities included The function and meaning of the including… phrases are unclear in choice A: for example, it is hard to tell whether Gilman called for urban apartment houses that included childcare facilities or whether such facilities represent one variety of the urban apartment houses she wanted built. Choice B resolves the ambiguity concerning child-care facilities, but called for…houses to include… facilities is unidiomatic in B and C. Choice D is best. In E, to include is again faulty. This question is more difficult than the average. 以上红笔解释sb call for sth to do错误,但我们知道有sb call for sb to do的用法，再看OG171: 171.
In 1527 King Henry VIII sought to have his marriage to Queen Catherine annulled so as to marry Anne Boleyn. (A)
so as to marry (B)
and so could be married to (C)
to be married to (D)
so that he could marry (E) in order that he would marry The sentence calls for an adverbial clause of purpose to explain why Henry sought the annulment. D, the best choice, does this clearly and correctly. It is introduced by an appropriate conjunction, so that, and contains a logically appropriate verb form, could marry. Awkward and imprecise, A does not specify who is to marry Anne. B substitutes an illogical coordinate predicate for the needed purpose clause; because the annulment had not yet been granted. Henry could not remarry. C lacks an appropriate conjunction, and the infinitive clause to be married to ... makes this choice awkward and unidiomatic. Although E uses an appropriate conjunction, in order that, the verb form would marry is unidiomatic and illogical (might marry would be better) 以上解释第一句OG用了sth call for sth to do的用法，请问大家是不是这种说法也有呢！ |
