标题: Manhattan 一题
书上写:
At a broader level, you need to pay attention to overall w ord order. All the words in a sentence could
be well-chosen, but the sentence could still be awkward or ambiguous.
The council granted the right to make legal petitions TO CITY OFFICIALS.
What does the phrase to city officials mean? Did the city officials receive the right to make legal petitions?
Or did someone else receive the right to make petitions to the officials? Either way, the correct
sentence should resolve the ambiguity:
The council granted CITY OFFICIALS the right to make legal petitions.
OR
The right to make legal petitions TO CITY OFFICIALS was granted by the council.

这个是right的内容是make legal petitions to city officials
