1. Following the destruction of the space shuttle Challenger, investigators concluded that many key people employed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and its contractors work an excessive amount of overtime that has the potential of causing errors in judgment.
(A) overtime that has the potential of causing
(B) overtime that has the potential to cause
(C) overtime that potentially can cause
(D) overtime, a practice that has the potential for causing（E）
(E) overtime, a practice that can, potentially, cause
欧第一次作的时候选了e,第二次作的时候对og的解释记忆深刻，选了d,结果错了，请看og的一道题目：
159. While depressed property values can hurt some large investors, they are potentially devastating for home-owners, whose equity—in many cases representing a life’s savings—can plunge or even disappear.
(A) they are potentially devastating for homeowners, whose
(B) they can potentially devastate homeowners in that their
(C) for homeowners they are potentially devastating, because their
(D) for homeowners, it is potentially devastating in that their（A）
(E) it can potentially devastate homeowners, whose
Choice A is the best. Its wording is unambiguous and economical. The plural pronoun they agrees with its antecedent, property values. The pronoun whose clearly refers to homeowners and efficiently connects them with the idea of lost equity. In B, C, and D, substituting in that their or because their for whose is wordy and confusing since the antecedent of their might be they, not homeowners. Furthermore, can potentially is redundant in B and E. Both D and E use the singular pronoun it, which does not agree with its logical antecedent, property values.
但是在大全300，这道题的答案和og这题的解释似乎有不同，请教如何区别呀？

看来，虽然300E略显累赘，但是，逻辑匹配更重要。
zex你好呀
我手邊的資料也有你這一題大全300，但問題是我的答案是選D，與你的E不同，我請教台灣的補習班老師，他說這是OG的老題目，OG自始至終都是認為can 和 potentially不可連用，如OG159，而且以前的答案就是選D而非E，他猜測大全300的參考答案應該是錯的，一點台灣老師的答案，請你參考
对E为正确答案有不同意见：（E）“overtime, a practice that can, potentially, cause”中明显有错误：在英语造句法中，句子在尽可能的情况下不应分断开，举一个相似的例子：OG56中，Architects and stonemasons, were the maya who, without the benefit of the wheel or animal trasport, built huge palace and temple clusters. OG的解释是： Eis awkwardly phrased and produces a sentence fragment, 即明显错误。
所以我认为即使CAN 与 POTENTIALLY不相互抵触，POTENTIALLY前后也不应有一对逗号（除非它是插入语）。我认为这个错误是明显的，甚至比D“overtime, a practice that has the potential for causing”错误更要明显，D只是比较罗嗦而已，D完全可以改为：a practice potential to cause. 个人意见，仅供参考。
但是potentially 和can 不能连用阿。
这里E虽然用逗号逗开，但是还是把两个词给连在了一起。但是D又是逻辑上不通，看来还要大家讨论一下阿！！
E中的potentially是插入语，并没有与can连用，只是对can起一个弱弱的补充说明的作用。
AGREE
表示潜在的意思,不是说practice 潜在的导致什么
而不是说practice能够潜在的导致什么
大全的部分答案有争议啊，OG其实也有漏洞
所以讨论、勘查才是重点
总结归纳才是王道
