Difference between D and E is still not clear. Please help how should once choose between D and E?

"support for vs support to"?

Following rule given by RON is helpful here,
In general, the modifier "to + verb" is used to signal the goal or purpose of an action/statement, while "for + verbing" conveys the idea that the action is, in some generic way, oriented toward the process of "verbing"

Evidence is providing a benefit/giving some additional information. It is not fulfilling any particular goal/purpose

Thanks Ron
Premise: If you like my post
Conclusion : Press the Thanks Button ;)

a support to somebody
a support for something

"a support for classification " is used to say that no agent/doer of "classification" exist. "suppport for doing" is used when an agent who do "doing" is present in the sentence. however, this differenciation is prefered not absolute. this mean we can see that "doing" is used to refer to general action.

in gmatprep, there are many question which test doing/noun split. and the basement to solve those split is the point I said above.

"provide support to" doesn't make sense here. that wording means, basically, the same as "provide assistance/help to", and is thus almost always followed by a person.
e.g. there will be medical personnel present at the festival to provide support to victims of heat stroke and drug overdoses.

as for "classification" vs. "classifying" -- both of these work ok here. the first treats the system as something that basically just exists -- de-emphasizing the human aspect -- while the second places emphasis on the human act of classifying.
I think that both "to do" and "for doing" can be used to say about general action not created by a specific person/ noun in the sentence. for example

it is good to learn english
this book is good for learning enlgish

there is no person/agent which create the action of "to learn" and "learning" in the above sentence,

pls tell me which of the following is corret and explain. thank you

this book is good for learning english
this book is good to learn English
If anyone in this gmat forum is in England, pls email to me([email protected]) . I have some problems and need your advise. Thank a lot
