[FONT=-&]"So far, dummies have provided invaluable data on how human bodies react in crashes and have contributed greatly to [improved / improving] vehicle design."
I think both can be correct.
If the answer is 'improved(past participle)', the objective of the preposition 'to' is design.
But if the answer is 'improving', the objective of the preposition 'to' is 'improving' itself.
And the 'improving' is not present participle but gerund.
Can both be correct or only one of the two?[/FONT]
