Is Give X Y an idiom?

SC Guide (Chapter 9) states as follows: -

RIGHT: The academy gave senior cadets DANCING PRIVILEGES

SUSPECT: The academy gave senior cadets THE PRIVILEGES OF DANCING

WRONG: The academy gave senior cadets THE PRIVILEGES TO DANCE



Experts, please explain!
(Is it because give xy an idiom or because of some other reasons?)

Give X Y is definitely okay. The correct example you quote does exactly that..
