标题: OG13 sc82 求教！
82. Defense attorneys have occasionally argued thattheir clients’ misconduct stemmed from a reaction to something ingested, but in attributingcriminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy, the perpetrators are in effect told that they are notresponsible for their actions.
(A) in attributing criminal or delinquent behaviorto some food allergy,
(B) if criminal or delinquent behavior is attributed toan allergy to some food,
(C) in attributing behavior that is criminal ordelinquent to an allergy to some food,
(D) if some food allergy is attributed as the causeof criminal or delinquent behavior,
(E) in attributing a food allergy as the cause ofcriminal or delinquent behavior,


我有点不懂gmat的解释说 the modifying phrase（in attributing...）incorrectly describes perpetrators when it should describe Defense attorneys 是什么意思？
所以说but后面的句子是修饰谁的？看到有解释说划线部分是后面perpetrators 句子的前置状语，那这个和官方解释不久矛盾了吗？
英语基础有些差，求教！

同顶啊为何说in attributing..修饰的是犯罪者？？
开头是以prepositional phrase啊，并不是ing形式
如果去除in的话我能理解为何A不对。。

这道题考了attribute的用法：
结果 is attribute to 原因
或者 原因attribute to 结果。
显然在这个题目中犯罪行为是结果，food allergy是原因。
按照上面的用法，应该用犯罪行为 is attribute to food allergy
或者 food allergy attribute to 犯罪行为。

DE两项中attribute as结构不对
AC两项中因果倒置了。

另外这个 attributing我觉得应该是denfense attorney发出的动作，放在中间两个句子中间有歧义，既可以是denfense attorney发出的动作，又可以是perpetrators发出的动作。

这是我的一点想法，不知道对不对。我也是在备考中，如果有问题的话，我们一起讨论吧~

but后面是另一个句子，由于in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy算分词结构也好介词短语也好，都是non. modifier，修饰主句的主语。而这里面主句是后面的 the perpetrators are in effect told that they are notresponsible for their actions.所以前面的in attributing修饰的是perpetrators.
希望可以帮到你。

(A) in attributing criminal or delinquent behaviorto some food allergy,
(B) if criminal or delinquent behavior is attributed to an allergy to some food,
(C) in attributing behavior that is criminal ordelinquent to an allergy to some food,
(D) if some food allergy is attributed as the causeof criminal or delinquent behavior,
(E) in attributing a food allergy as the cause ofcriminal or delinquent behavior,

整理一下：

1）attribute A to B,  D/E 错

2）#6楼

   A/C错

3）前一句中 a reaction to something ingested 和 后一句中 an allergy tosome food, 很好地对称了起来，
     也表现了GMAT更prefer 对称的结构吧

4）一个疑问点 some food allergy 是否有歧义??
                 allergy to some food
                 some allery to food

前面总结的超棒，只不过后面我有一点不大明白。OG里面貌似没有说AC的因果倒置了，只是说修饰语如果换成从句的形式更好，即attributing criminal or delinquent behaviors to some food allergy变成criminal or delinquent behavior is attributed to an alley to some food 会更加清晰

此题为何og 官方解释上说，“criminal or delinquent behavior(x) is attributed to (verb phrase) an allergy to some food(y).
为何some food 是 y，an allergy 不是 y呢？请求大神解答翻译，看了好久呢。
