48、tients and athletes解决了此问题，且把句子换成了主动语态，再一次证明了主动优先的原则。 【知识模块】 语法改错 2 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 本题划线部分是 call for的两个并列的复杂宾语。因为 call for要求后面跟名词形式，可以排除 B、 C、 E(3个均使用动词不定式 to include)。 A有个缺陷，在 ands之后未补出介词 for。因本句宾语结构复杂且第二个宾语离 for太远，不补出 for会使结构不清晰。 D中无不定式出现，补出了 for，把 for的两个宾语改为一个由定语从句修饰，另一个由 with介词短语修饰。 【知识模块】 语法改错 3
