Scientific researchers have invested millions of dollars into research to develop more effective treatment for the AIDS virus, including decreasing the drug's side effects and simplifying its regiments of use.

A. into research to develop more effective treatment for the AIDS virus.
B. into research for developing more effective treatment for the AIDS virus
C. for research for more effeective treatment for the AIDS virus to be developed
D. in research to develop more effective treatment for the AIDS virus
E. in research for developing for the AIDS virus more effective treatments

















_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
[spoiler]O.A: D[/spoiler]
What if we change "into" to "in" in choice B, would the choice B"in research for developing more effective treatment for the AIDS virus" be correct answer for this question?

Thanks,

IN / INTO

IN ----> Represent state, No change in state.

Ex: John is swimming IN the swimming pool.

INTO ---> Change in state, motion from outside to inside

Ex: John jumped INTO the swimming pool.

To Develop / For Developing

TO DEVELOP : Infinitive ---> Intentional action

Ex: The mob protests on the road to block traffic.

The Mob intentionally want to block the road

Developing : Gerund ----> define consequence, Not intentional

Ex: The mob protests on the road, blocking traffic.

The Mob has no intention to block the road, they only want to protest but the traffic blocked in consequence of protest. This result was unintentional.

In this question, TO DEVELOP is required as some intentionally wants to develop treatments.

Thus, even if you change INTO to IN, the Op B is still incorrect.

Hope this help!!

hi aspirant2011
it is idiom issue
see page 158 MG sentence correction 4 edition, in case you have no one
right usage:invest in, here example
she invested funds in research to study-correct
but not
she invested funds into research...to study-wrong
by the way
she invested funds for research to study-also wrong
she invested funds in research for studing- wrong
