og128 对正确选项的不满!

128. New hardy varieties of rice show promise of pro­ducing high yields without the costly requirements of irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties.

(A)  requirements of irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties

(B)   requirements by earlier high-yielding varieties of application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation

(C)  requirements for application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation of earlier high-yielding varieties

(D)  application of commercial fertilizer and irriga­tion that was required by earlier high-yielding varieties

(E)   irrigation and application of commercial fertil­izer that were required by earlier high-yielding varieties

Choice E, the best answer, clearly and grammatically expresses the idea that two costly procedures, irrigation and the applica­tion of... fertilizer, were required by earlier high-yielding varieties of rice. In A, the placement of by earlier... varieties immediately after application of fertilizer suggests that the varieties applied the fertilizer. In B and D, the phrase applica­tion of... fertilizer and irrigation is ambiguous in meaning: it cannot be clearly determined whether applying fertilizer and irrigating are a single operation or two distinct operations. In C, only irrigation--not both irrigation and fertilization--is clearly associated with the earlier... varieties of rice.

答案是E,但感觉E还是漏洞很多,首先irrigation and application of commercial fertil­izer 中,为什么就不会产生irrigation and (application of commmercial fertilizer)的歧义?

而且前面的costly究竟是修饰到irrigation,还是irrigation and application of commercial fertil­izer 也不清晰.

请教大家!为什么如此大歧义的句子会是正确的?

costly是修饰irrigation和application的，还原就是costly irrigation and costly application of commercial fertilizer

如果是单独修饰irrigation的话，就应该变成application of commericial fertilizer and costly irrigation.

另外 irrigation and application of commercial fertil­izer 中， A and B of C; C只是修饰B 的，不是A andB

另外 irrigation and application of commercial fertil­izer 中， A and B of C; C只是修饰B 的，不是A andB"

why?

thanks

HELP!

从逻辑意思上，commercial fertil­izer  不能灌溉的

这种修饰太烦!

不过还是谢谢石头mm

ft 我是猫诶

基本上，我认为介宾短语应该不能跳跃修饰，它应该紧跟着修饰的先行词。但是不敢确定

等NN 释疑
