1. A.
   to see
2. B.
   see
3. C.
   seeing
4. D.
   seen

Answer 1

D
to make himself seen的意思是“为了让他自己被别人看见”，see与himself之间是动宾关系，当然要用被动语态。请比较下面两个句子：To make himself hear clearly what the speaker was saying, he came closer to the platform.（为了能清楚地听到演讲者所说的话，他向讲台靠得更近了。）To make himself heard clearly, he spoke louder.（为了让别人清楚地听到他的话，他说话的声音更大了。）
