30. The central purpose of management is for making every action or decision help achieve a carefully chosen goal.

My answer was C (achieve->achieving), but the correct one was A. Should I use to make instead of for making ?

Anyway the sentence sounds weird to me.I mean I can't find its sense.

34. The discovery of the antibiotic penicillin in 1928 has not produced antibiotics useful for the treatment of infectious diseases until 1940.

My answer was C (useful->usefully), but the correct one was B. What's wrong with that present perfect here ?

38. Ozone is an unstable faintly bluish gas that is the most chemical active form of oxygen.

My answer was B, but the right one was D. I thought that faint (the adjective should be used here instead of the adverb faintly). Why is the good answer D ? Shouldn't be there an adjective ?

Thank you !
