语法疑难19

defense attorneys have occasionally argued that their clients' misconduct stemmed from a reaction to something ingested, but in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy, the perpetrators are in effect told that they are not responsible for their action.

C) in attributing behavior that is criminal or delinquent to an allergy to some food.

D) if some food allergy is attributed as the cause of criminal or delinquent behavior

E) in attributing a food allergy as the cause of criminal or delinquent behavior

B) if criminal or delinquent behavior is attributed to allergy to some food.

正确答案是B，自由的疑问是：1）C，E中的黑体字部分，辅导书里说是因为逻辑主语是perpetrators的逻辑错误，而自由觉得没什么逻辑错误啊！ 2） D中的黑体字部分，辅导书说是因果关系颠倒，自由怎么看也不明白怎么因果关系颠倒，谢谢大家帮助

这样的，

C&E： attribute这个行为应该是attorney的，不应该是perpetrator的

D:

attribute something to somebody/something

to believe or say that a situation or event is caused by something
The fall in the number of deaths from heart disease is generally attributed to improvements in diet.

allergy to some food是criminal or delinquent behavior 的原因

还有一点：attribute as the cause of---这个表达方法有问题，attribute就有归因的意思，加个the cause of甚感重复

criminal behaviour is attribute to allergy, not vice versa
