Explanation:

Desperate means in a state of great need or hopelessness. A call for help implies a situation where one is in great need (of assistance), which aligns with the meaning of desperate. A call for an order, a call for a game to start, and a call for an investigation do not convey the sense of urgency and need that is characteristic of being desperate.

a call for help
