This is interesting and i'm struggling with the same thing -divineacclivity wrote: Great explanation!
I just have one doubt here and that is:
Consider the following sentences:
A pen is for writing - CORRECT
I picked up the pen (in order) to write - CORRECT
I picked up the pen for writing - INCORRECT
for - specifies the purpose of an object and "in order to" specifies purpose of an action.
So, D choice also uses ".. for not anticipating the impact .." - wouldn't this be wrong? If not, are my above examples wrong? If they are, pls explain why. Thank you.

I picked up the pen "to" writing is also INCORRECT. So how do we justify the for/to fiasco here?
