Here are 2 thorny test items. Not sure if they are flawed. Would you please show your opinions?
(The two test items are designed for the college entrance exams in China. )
1 The retired man donated most of his savings to the school damaged by the earthquake in Yushu,_ _______ the students to return to their classrooms. (Jiangsu version 28)
A. enabling B. having enabled C. to enable D. to have enabled
The key is A. But why is C incorrect? Or are there 2 keys to the item?
2 Schools across China are expected to hire 50,000 college graduates this year as short-term teachers, almost three times the number hired last year, _____ reduce unemployment pressures.
(Jiangsu 26. )
A. help B. to have helped C. to help D. having helped
The key is C. If we choose C as the key, then this sentence structure seems to be the same as the above test item if we choose C. (to enable)
