(A) including child-care facilities and clustered suburban houses including communal eating and social facilities
(B) that included child-care facilities, and for clustered suburban houses to include communal eating and social facilities
(C) with child-care facilities included and for clustered suburban houses to include communal eating and social facilities
(D) that included child-care facilities and for clustered suburban houses with communal eating and social facilities
(E) to include child-care facilities and for clustered suburban houses with communal eating and social facilities included
Please, state your reasoning, since I haven't found a correct answer in the choices that are given.
there is a pattern which is almost always wrong on GMAT
preposition+ NOUN+ participle
(i've leraned from others)
with above rule- you eliminate C and E
A- is ambiguos- is clustered houses parallel with child-car facilities OR with urban apartment houses?
so we remain with Band D
the only difference is 'to include' , which GMAT consider unidiomatic
that leaves us with D

I agree that D is the best choice here. But....
Shouldn't with communal eating and social facilities ideally be replaced by that included communal eating and social facilities for parallelism sake???

This question was explained either in Sahils grammar notes or Spidey's notes

(B) that included child-care facilities, and for clustered suburban houses to include communal eating and social facilities

Please, state your reasoning, since I haven't found a correct answer in the choices that are given. Except A none of the other choices are parallel I have to say that I picked A because none of other choices are parallel. Did Sahil's notes explain this? I couldn't find the answer why A is wrong. Could someone post the explanation?
