老师好! 语法书上有道习题:

Both Chinese and American parents were asked what they wanted most for their children. Chinese parents wanted their children to be successful, while American parents expressed a desire ___happy. 

A. their children to be

B. for their children 

C. their children are 

D. for their children to be 

 答案是B。我觉得D 应该更对吧。难道把desire当做名词，后面可以直接加adj？ 谢谢老师。
