New genetic evidence—together with recent studies of elephants’ skeletons, tusks, and other anatomical features—provide compelling support for classifying Africa’s forest elephants and its savanna elephants as separate species.

A.     provide compelling support for classifying

B.     provide compelling support for the classification of

C.     provides compelling support to the classification of

D.     provides compelling support for classifying

E.      provides compelling support to classify

E怎么错了？

词题，support后面也是要接一个名词结构，to classify是表目的的，所以用D

我在Longman 上找到一个句子,

The president offers partial support for training for some workers, but no income support.

这个题的确不是考的provide的用法, 而是support的用法,give/provide/offer support for doing sth.

provide虽然没有找到for doing的用法,但也有类似的.比如

The Trust provides fact-sheets and support for anyone affected by toxoplasmosis and educates health professionals.

感谢lurker
