11. Several studies have found that the coronary patients who exercise most actively have half or less than half the chance of dying of a heart attack as those who are sedentary.
(A) have half or less than half the chance of dying of a heart attack as those who are sedentary
(B) have half the chance, or less, of dying of a heart attack than those who are sedentary do
(C) have half the chance that they will die of a heart attack, or less, than those who are sedentary do
(D) are at least fifty percent less likely to die of a heart attack as those who are sedentary（E）
(E) are at least fifty percent less likely than those who are sedentary to die of a heart attack
我选错了, 选了b , 这里b是错在 chance to do 和chance of doing 上马? 还有其他错么?

这道题我也选了b， 我当时觉得E是：less likely than those who are sedentary to die of a heart attack. 觉得红字部分整个修饰前面的those,于是句子的结构就不完整了，至少会引起歧义。
sb+be+adj.+to do sth 这个句型也是有的，比如说I am glad to meet you.但问题是，这个句型里的adj.常是表达人情感、能力等的形容词，如angry ／ pleased ／happy ／surprised ／afraid ／sure等。那么，是不是因为句子里面用了sedentary而避免了这个歧义呢？
