91． In theory, international civil servants at the United Nations are prohibited from continuing to draw salaries from their own governments；in practice，however, some governments merely substitute living allowances for their employees’ paychecks，assigned by them to the United Nations． (A) for their employees’ paychecks，assigned by them (B) for the paychecks of their employees who have been assigned (C) for the paychecks of their employees，having been assigned (D) in place of their employees’ paychecks，for those of them assigned (E) in place of the paychecks of their employees to have been assigned by them Logical predication It is difficult to tell which parts of this sentence go together because of errors and confusion in the underlined portion．Living allowances is the counterpart of paychecks，so it is better to say governments．．．substitute riving allowances for the paychecks of their employees because it makes the substitution clearer．This change also makes it easier to correct the modification error that appears in the phrase assigned by them，which incorrectly modifies paychecks rather than employees．The modifying clause who have been assigned clearly describes employees and fits into the remaining part of the sentence，to the United Nations． A Paychecks should balance living allowances；assigned by them incorrectly and illogically modifies paychecks． B Correct．In this sentence，the substitution is dearer when paychecks is separated from employees C The sentence uses present-tense verbs；having been assigned casts doubt on whether the employees are still assigned to the United Nations． D The correct construction is substitutes x for y，not substitutes x in place of y；the construction following paychecks is wordy and awkward． E The correct construction is substitutes x for y，not substitutes x in place of y；the construction following employees is wordy and awkward． The correct answer is B．
OG11-VERBAL REVIEW 说 C中意思就修饰employees了

In theory, international civil servants at the United Nations are prohibited from continuing to draw salaries from their own governments; in practice, however, some governments merely substitute living allowances for their employees’ paychecks, assigned by them to the United Nations. (A) for their employees’ paychecks, assigned by them (B) for the paychecks of their employees who have been assigned (C) for the paychecks of their employees, having been assigned (D) in place of their employees’ paychecks, for those of them assigned（B） (E) in place of the paychecks of their employees to have been assigned by them In choice A, the phrase assigned by them modifies the adjacent noun, paychecks: the sentence implies that paychecks, rather than employees, work at the United Nations. In C, the phrase having been assigned... is uncertain in reference, making the sentence unclear. By using in place of instead of for, choices D and E create the unidiomatic and redundant construction substitutes x in place of y. Moreover, D, aside from being wordy, is unclear because the pronoun them has no unambiguous antecedent; and in E, their employees to have been assigned by them is wordy and awkward. Choice B, the best answer, properly uses the phrase who have been assigned... to the United Nations to modify employees.
