GWD26-Q38 中的plan for/ plan to 疑惑

38. GWD26-Q38

Finally reaching a decision on an issue that has long been politically charged in the Pacific Northwest, politicians decided to postpone by at least five years an ambitious plan to protect wild salmon and other endangered fish, instead of which they proposed a series of smaller steps, by which they intend to protect the fish.

A.      politicians decided to postpone by at least five years an ambitious plan to protect wild salmon and other endangered fish, instead of which they proposed a series of smaller steps, by which they intend

B.       politicians decided to postpone by at least five years an ambitious plan to protect wild salmon and other endangered fish, proposing instead a series of smaller steps intended

C.      politicians decided to postpone by at least five years an ambitious plan for protecting wild salmon and other endangered fish, and instead they proposed a series of smaller steps, intending

D.      an ambitious plan to protect wild salmon and other endangered fish was postponed by politicians, who instead proposed a series of smaller steps, intending.

E.       an ambitious plan to protect wild salmon and other endangered fish has been postponed by politicians, proposing instead a series of smaller steps intended.

答案给的B,但是我觉得C明确,为什么不选C呢

题目中的plan 用作名词, B中的to protect wild salmon and other endangered fish既可以解释成politician postpone的动机,又可以解释成plan的内容,而C中的for就变的很明确的说明plan的内容了.

C中的intending 可以作为有半句的伴随状语出现, 一样很合理

请高手指点一下C的问题到底出在哪里?

谢谢谢谢 

首先，这里的to表示目的，表示推迟计划的目的是为了保护动物和濒危的鱼类

其次，这里没有说plan的内容，只是说plan太ambitious了，为了保护动物要推迟，要把ambitious的plan改为a series of smaller steps，才可以更好的保护动物

最后，GMAT中常见错误的目的表达是for doing

但是以往也有过比如method for doing成立的情况，好象是在一个什么发现恐龙化石的题目里，为什么这里就不能成立呢？

首先，我认为用to do还是用for doing来表达目的并没有一个约定的规范，主要应该依靠作者想表达的动作意念强烈还是行为意念强烈来区别运用。

本题我也同意楼主选C，因为B中有很多awkward的地方，例如proposing instead a series of smaller steps，另外，smaller steps intended有岐意，intended是修饰steps?逻辑不通；修饰politicians?应该用indending吧。

欢迎抛砖。

再顶再顶

to do和for doing不是争论的地方

这里错的是intended 修饰steps 所以用被动 因为前面也是plan来protect 而不是politicans

还一个错  别人告诉我的 but instead而不是and 这里我不肯定 再研究下
