Resolução comentada
Sequência: to want, to help, to find, understand.
'Seems to want' exige infinitivo com 'to'. 'Is trained to help' e 'runs off to find' usam infinitivo de finalidade. Depois de 'make someone', usa-se infinitivo sem 'to': 'make you understand'.
Análise das alternativas
A) 'trained help' e 'make you to understand' estão erradas. B), C) e E) trazem formas sem 'to' ou gerúndios que a regência não admite nas lacunas.
Referência: Infinitivo e gerúndio em inglês
