<p>Hey! I was wondering why the error occurs at (C), any one care to explain? The question is: <a href="http://oi54.tinypic.com/1zzjbz8.jpg%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://oi54.tinypic.com/1zzjbz8.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Please explain to me why their is an error in C?</p>

<p>Another question which I got right but don’t exactly know the grammatical reason for it’s error, I just chose it because it sounded wrong. The question: <a href=“http://oi55.■■■■■■■.com/10ym89v.jpg[/url]”>http://oi55.■■■■■■■.com/10ym89v.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>For the first one, it should be, “from moving freely,” as opposed to, “to move freely.” You prevent people FROM doing things, not TO do things. The verb prevent just goes with from, but I’m not sure why.</p>

<p>I believe the second one should be A for a similar reason. The computer would be helpful FOR improving their skills. I’m not really sure why, though.</p>

<p>The second sentence should be: “Chess players find that playing against a computer is helpful in improving their skills…” So the wrong answer is A.</p>

5

<p>Why can’t you say helpful to improve though? (Aside from the fact that it sound weird?)</p>

6

<p>You should buy a watch; it is helpful in improving one’s running.</p>

<p>You should buy a watch; it is helpful to improve one’s running.</p>

<p>See the difference?</p>
