I believe for (B) to be the correct answer choice, it should be "the recession" and not "a recession".GmatKiss wrote:In an unusual rebuke of a senior aide, Chancellor Micheal Duston today publicly criticized Finance Minister Otto Schmidt, who has called for significant restraints in welfare spending for helping West Germany to pull out of the recession

INCORRECT: John went to the store FOR BUYING milk.
CORRECT: John went to the store TO BUY milk.
Eliminate A and D (which say for helping) and E (which says for pulling). To express the PURPOSE of the Chancellor's action, we need the infinitive: the Chancellor has called for significant restraints...TO HELP West Germany.
In C, in welfare SPEND makes no sense. The gerund form is needed: in welfare SPENDING. Eliminate C.
The correct answer is B.
To help PULL West Germany means to help US pull West Germany.
To help WEST GERMANY pull means to help WEST GERMANY pull ITSELF.
The first meaning seems more appropriate here.
