128. New hardy varieties of rice show promise of producing high yields without the costly requirements of irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties. requirements of irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties requirements by earlier high-yielding varieties of application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation requirements for application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation of earlier high-yielding varieties application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation that was required by earlier high-yielding varieties irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer that were required by earlier high-yielding varieties Choice E, the best answer, clearly and grammatically expresses the idea that two costly procedures, irrigation and the application of... fertilizer, were required by earlier high-yielding varieties of rice. In A, the placement of by earlier... varieties immediately after application of fertilizer suggests that the varieties applied the fertilizer. In B and D, the phrase application of... fertilizer and irrigation is ambiguous in meaning: it cannot be clearly determined whether applying fertilizer and irrigating are a single operation or two distinct operations. In C, only irrigation--not both irrigation and fertilization--is clearly associated with the earlier... varieties of rice.
D, the phrase application of... fertilizer and irrigation is ambiguous in meaning: it cannot be clearly determined whether applying fertilizer and irrigating are a single operation or two distinct operations。
这题是考跳跃修饰。可是我觉得D也是修饰明确啊。为什么OG的解释是什么意思？ was 的主语是application，application有两样东西：一是commercial fertilizer ，二是irrigation。这就说得蛮清楚的啊？
还是先从OG的解释下手 D, the phrase application of... fertilizer and irrigation is ambiguous in meaning: it cannot be clearly determined whether applying fertilizer and irrigating are a single operation or two distinct operations。
在读了GGJJ门辛苦的总结和分析后才感觉到（如果有错误希望GGJJ指点） Ambiguous一词就可选出B.D.E中的最优了 B(Ambiguous) requirements by earlier high-yielding varieties of application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation ...V of A of C and I 可以解释为 A 和 I 并列 既申请和灌溉并列 就是OG说的两个过程 也可以解释为 of 后面的 C 和 I 并列共同做定语短语修饰 A 只有一个申请,一个过程.申请中又有C和I两个部分. 这也就是 OG 说的: it cannot be clearly determined whether applying fertilizer and irrigating are a single operation or two distinct operations.
D(Ambiguous) 在A of C and I that was...中 that 可以指代A,同时在没有语法错误的情况下也可以指代I,因为着两个都是单数名词. 这样也产生了一个过程 或者两个过程的 Ambiguous.
E(Cear) I and A of C that were .... 因为I and A of C本身不存在歧义 I和A并列,所以由were可明确的看出that指代的是 I and A.
