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:

(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

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.
