OG 11th- 67

A) in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy
B) if cirminal or delinquent behavior is attributed to an allergy to some food
C) in attributing be havior that is cirminal 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 cirminal or delinquent behavior

Answer: B

Logical predication + Idiom

The oroginal sentence contains an incorrect idiom and a misplanced modifier. The correct idiom in the active voice is one attributes x (an effect) to y (a cause). In the passive voice, x (an effect) is attributed to y (the cause). The modifying phrase (in attributing...) incorrectly descirbes perpetrators when it should describe defense attorneys. ........

想请问的是
解释说明 (in attributing...) incorrectly descirbes perpetrators when it should describe defense attorneys.

谢谢
