    Hi,

    The answer is D) but it's confusing to me... can anyone give me a tip to find a correct one for this? Wink


    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.

    Well, even I got it wrong but I understand the error now.

    "for clustered urban houses to include" changes the meaning of the original sentence. The original sentence seems to suggest (although expressed incorrectly) that she was for clustered-urban houses that (ALREADY) include communal eating and social facilities. However, B suggests that they SHOULD include these facilities (like they should be added to existing clustered urban houses)

    That is what I figured.

    Folks read Manhattan SC guide... Include is a bossy verb which according to rules shpuld be preceded by that and subject and command subjunctive or bare form of verb

    that+bossy verb+subject+bare for of verb

    only D satisfies this rule.
