(D)to demand that private developers pay for an increased share of the costs to expand

Ans: (A)

My question is whether the meaning of "pay for" in answer choice (D) is different from the meaning of "pay" in choice (A)? Is it 改變句意?

And could you help to explain me the difference between " costs of expanding" & " costs to expand"?

Thank you!!!!!

想請問B為什麼錯?
謝謝~

表示命令,堅持,建議的動詞有特定的句型: "這樣的動詞 that S + 原形V"
demand 有堅持/命令的語氣,所以一定要套上數句型.
