19. Federal legislation establishing a fund for the cleanup of sites damaged by toxic chemicals permits compensating state governments for damage to their natural resources but does not allow claims for injury to people.
(A) compensating state governments for damage to
(B) compensating state governments for the damaging of
(C) giving state governments compensation for damaging
(D) giving compensation to state governments for the damage of（A）
(E) the giving of compensation to state governments for damaging
Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and E could be read as saying that state governments can be compensated for damaging their own natural resources. The phrasing in C, D, and E is needlessly wordy, and for the damage of in D is unidiomatic. This question is difficult.
怎么认为 B, C, and E could be read as saying that state governments can be compensated for damaging their own natural resources. 是不是那个“damaging”在作怪？NN们解释拉兄弟一把！
自己顶！
楼主留心一下选项间compensating for 的对象不同
Ａ是compensating...for damage(名词）
而以Ｃ为例，give compensation for damaging their natural resources
红字部分就是他们的差异
明白了，谢谢三脚猫版主！
