1. The doctor wanted the patient to be examined. 2. There are a lot of people who expect your country not to be. 3. Did you hear the chairman making an announcement? 4. When I was waiting in the hall, I saw a girl to come out with a file in her hand. 5. Nobody expected the president of the company to come. 6. I saw him turning, disappearing round the corner and... 7. She noticed the children to be hidden behind the tree but pretended to see nothing. 8. I want his article to be published in November. 9.

В английском языке, когда мы говорим о действии, которое должно произойти в будущем, мы используем инфинитив после глаголов типа want, expect, plan и т.д. В этих случаях мы также используем инфинитив после such и so.

Например, в предложении "The doctor wanted the patient to be examined", мы используем инфинитив "to be examined", чтобы показать, что мы хотим, чтобы пациент был осмотрен.

В предложении "I want his article to be published in November", мы используем инфинитив "to be published", чтобы показать, что мы хотим, чтобы статья была опубликована.

В предложении "He did not expect her to be asked about it", мы используем инфинитив "to be asked", чтобы показать, что он не ожидал, что ей зададут вопрос.

Поэтому правильным вариантом будет "to be examined", "not to be", "making", "to come out", "to come", "turning, disappearing", "to be hidden", "to be published", "to be asked".
