No!!!

It can't be to helping!

There are 2 possibilities about help

- to help

- helping

[vijayaprashanth]

Ellinik,

 

there r 3 possibilities about help viz., helping, to help, to helping. let me give u one example. Mother Theresa dedicated her life to helping the poor. (this structure is correct. i came across this structure on one of the structure tests in TestMagic. "to" is a preposition that indicates a noun (helping).

[Idiot]

13.A cardinal role for players of the lute, a stringed instrument, are that every note is sustained for as long as possible.

 

Because the subject here is " A cardinal role" so the verb should be "is" therefore C is correct.

[Idiot]

Can you explain for me two following sentences. Thanks
