标题: 【求助】GWD28-32 boldface题！理解偏差。。。
32. GWD28-Q32:

A prominent investor who holds a large stake in the Burton Tool Company has recently claimed that the company is mismanaged,citing as evidence the company’sfailure to slow production in response to a recent rise in its inventory of finished products.It is doubtful whether an investor’s sniping at management can ever be anything other than counterproductive, but in this case it is clearly not justified.It is true that an increased inventory of finished products often indicates that production is outstripping demand, but in Burton
’s case it indicates no such thing.Rather, the increase in inventory is entirely attributable to products that have already been assigned to orders received from customers.
In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

A.The first states the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second provides evidence to undermine the support for the position being opposed.

B.The first states the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second is evidence that has been used to support the position being opposed.

C.The first states the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second states the conclusion of the argument as a whole.

D.The first is evidence that has been used to support a position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second provides information to undermine the force of that evidence.

E.The first is evidence that has been used to support a position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second states the conclusion of the argument as a whole.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
我选e的原因是，citing as evidence。。。我认为这个evidence就指的是第一个黑体字部分。。。即将misleading cite as evidence
请问这么理解错在哪里，原句的结构到底应该怎么理解？

谢谢！！！

这句话citing as evidence the company’sfailure to slow production in response to a recent rise in its inventory of finished products是一个倒桩，还原就是citing the company’sfailure to slow production in response to a recent rise in its inventory of finished products as evidence. 跟前面那个人讲的话没有关系。如果是引用前面那个人讲的话，应该用cited表被动，而不是citing. citing的逻辑主语是investor。
