I'd go with C.

C: (recession vs the recession in A; need a noun after prep 'in')
B/D: (a recession vs the recession)
E: (a recession vs the recession; has criticized & has called - 2 verbs without connector)

IMO A

IMO - B

"to help pull WG out of a recession" sounds better....

IMO B.

To help pull Germany out of a recession.

It clearly tells that he wanted to help through his activity to pull Geramany out of a recession....

other choice indicate the Germany wanted to pull out of recession with the help given.....Wnated to pull...Who?

However, I am not sure if "A recession" or "the recession" may make/break a sentence. Would need expert help on this.

Thanks.

OA is B

Hey - though I am not 100% sure about this i'll try to help you understand this.

Say for example I ask this question -- Aspirant2011 can you "help me pull John out of" the hotel room..

This sounds totally correct to me.. to pull john out of hotel room (.. for whatever reason ) ..I am asking for your help.

Hi GMAT Kiss,

Please read my explanation which I have written already:-->
It clearly tells that he wanted to help through his activity to pull Geramany out of a recession....

other choice indicate the Germany wanted to pull out of recession with the help given.....Wanted to pull...Who? What I want to say here that there is a help given to Germany to come out of the recession......Germany is not getting help to help somebody in turn to come out of the rercession.

However, I am not sure if "A recession" or "the recession" may make/break a sentence. Would need expert help on this.

These kind of sentences are really used in Spoken English.....[particularly on star movies:)]

See example given by SaketK.
See the condition below as well:-
If I ask help from my parents to come out of my debts which i am unable to pay I can say like this:--

"help me nullify my Debts"

Hope this helps.....

I am not sure why B is correct. I picked C. Can someone explain the difference between the two?

I chose B over C because of the word spending in B over spend in C.

b)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 to help pull West Germany out of a recession

c)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 spend to help West Germany pull out of recession

Moreover, I tried to analyze the difference between help pull West Germany out of a recession and help West Germany pull out of recession. I see both of them to be acceptable!

Anyways, the topic is still open to debate.
