• failing to joining an appointment
Hi!
I read the following in a TOEIC book:
“Patients must be informed that failing to ______ an appointment will result in a charge.
A. making
B. keeping
C. enabling
D. joining
(Answer: D)”
I think the above sentence should be corrected into:
Patients must be informed that failure to ______ an appointment will result in a charge.
Besides, “join an appointment” is not a good expression.
What do you think of the original question and my opinion?
Do you agree with the above that D is correct?
Thanks in advance.

None of the answers is correct. The verb required is KEEP, not JOIN, and it needs to be in the infinitive form: "failing to keep ..."
