(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

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

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

1）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.

这里难道costly同时修饰irrigation and application

大家多帮忙！thx!

这里难道costly同时修饰irrigation and application 不错，ETS比较强调结构上尽量的完全的平行，所以如果有一个a.+n.的结构，后面的平行结构一般也要求用a.+n.结构，除非如此题，两个名词的修饰形容词相同，则省略一个。

2）In C, only irrigation--not both irrigation and fertilization--is clearly associated with the earlier... varieties of rice.
为何不可以是requirements for application of (commercial fertilizer and irrigation) of earlier high-yielding varieties C的可参与平行的名词太多了，以至无法清楚区分，当然，你括号内的说法的确正确，但是，无法排除将requirements和irrigation建立平行的可能，所以，C表达不如E明确。

C也可以这样子吗：requirements for （application of commercial fertilizer）and for （irrigation）of earlier high-yielding varieties省略斜体介词for。

另外这样of earlier high-yielding varieties可以跳跃修饰requirements而不会修饰application...and irrigation吗？

是(irrigation and application) of commercial fertilizer，还是irrigation and (application of commercial fertilizer)？

有个问题：

E难道就不会有歧义吗？

是(irrigation and application) of commercial fertilizer，还是irrigation and (application of commercial fertilizer)？

请指教，谢谢！
