prep 13-320道题目的那个版本

13. (25163-!-item-!-188;#058&001734)

Unlike most severance packages, which require workers to stay until the last day scheduled to

collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package even if they

find a new job before they are terminated.

(A) the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its

severance package

(B) the last day they are scheduled to collect, workers are eligible for the automobile company's

severance package

(C) their last scheduled day to collect, the automobile company offers its severance package to

workers

(D) their last scheduled day in order to collect, the automobile company's severance package is

available to workers

(E) the last day that they are scheduled to collect, the automobile company's severance

package is available to workers

一直不明白scheduled 的修饰问题，答案是D，E出错在哪里啊？

我也做错的。

这题的考点比较明确，就是平行： Unlike A， B XXXX。 A和B是要对称的。

这样就只剩下DE两个选项。

Unlike most severance packges, which requires workers to stay until (their last scheduled day in order to collect) 或者 （the last day that they are scheduled to collect), XXXXX.
E：从整个句子看 如果用后一个句式的话，（the last day that they are scheduled to collect), 那么就表示require 的是the last day, 只是修饰一个名词，和原意的修饰中心不符合。
同时 they are scheduled to collect, 这里的schedule修饰了they (worker) 而非应该修饰的last day，不符合原文指代。
D：而使用前一个文法，表示requires XXXX in order to do XXX. 是比较正确的表达结构。 其中their last scheduled day，表示计划安排的这些工人最后一个工作日。

这里的require XX in order to do XX 就是require XX to do XX.

不知道解释是否清晰，请指正。
