我想来问问D选项
In 1923, the Supreme Court declared a minimum wage for women and children in the District of Columbia as unconstitutional, and ruling that it was a form of price-fixing and, as such, an abridgment of the right of contract.

A.

the Supreme Court declared a minimum wage for women and children in the District of Columbia as unconstitutional, and

B.

the Supreme Court declared as unconstitutional a minimum wage for women and children in the District of Columbia, and

C.

the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional a minimum wage for women and children in the District of Columbia,

D.

a minimum wage for women and children in the District of Columbia was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court,

E.

when the Supreme Court declared a minimum wage for women and children in the District of Columbia as unconstitutional,

这里是解析Correct Answer: C Idiom; Grammatical construction

This sentence depends on the correct use of an idiom: the court declares x unconstitutional. The inverted form should be used here because of the long phrases involved: the court declares unconstitutional x. The Supreme Court is the subject of the sentence; declared is the verb. Ruling . . . contract acts a modifier describing the action of the main clause; because the modifier is subordinate to the main clause, the conjunction and must be omitted. And is used to join two independent clauses, not a clause and its modifier.

A Declared . . . as unconstitutional is not the correct idiom; the use of and creates an ungrammatical construction.
B Declared as unconstitutional is not the correct idiom; the use of and creates an ungrammatical construction.
C Correct. In this sentence, the correct idiom is used, and the modifier is grammatically and logically attached to the main clause.
D Passive voice construction is weak and wordy; its use causes the modifier to be misplaced and ambiguous.
E Declared . . . as unconstitutional is not the correct idiom; when transforms the main clause into a subordinate clause, resulting in a sentence fragment.

D选项错是不是因为ruling的主语应该是the Supreme Court 而不是D选项中的主语a minimum wage?解析中说的its use causes the modifier to be misplaced and ambiguous是这个意思吗？
求解答，谢～～～
