67. 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 actions. (A) in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy (B) if criminal or delinquent behavior is attributed to an allergy to some food (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 Logical predication + Idiom The original sentence contains an incorrect idiom and a misplaced modifier. The correct idiom in the active voice is one attributes x (an effect) toy (a cause). In the passive voice, x (the effect) is attributed to y (the cause). The modifying phrase (in attributing...) incorrectly describes perpetrators when it should describe defense attorneys. The best way to correct the sentence is to transform the modifying phrase into a subordinate clause that uses the idiom correctly: criminal or delinquent behavior (x) is attributed to (verb phrase) an allergy to some food (y).
这句的意思是说 in doing sth.只能修饰but之后的主语吧,而题目中的using是executive发出的动作??
