OG222

222. By a vote of 9 to 0, the Supreme Court awarded the Central Intelligence Agency broad discretionary
powers enabling it to withhold from the public the identities of its sources of intelligence information.
(A) enabling it to withhold from the public
(B) for it to withhold from the public
(C) for withholding disclosure to the public of
(D) that enable them to withhold from public disclosure
(E) that they can withhold public disclosure of

对于选择A没有意见，关键是不明白the public the identities.....这样的连接是什么意思？

我的理解：X award Y power (enabling...public)<是现在分词做定语修饰power>，那么后面的the identities是什么东西？

我当时没选A的原因就是解释不了这个

双宾语，enable the public identity, 使公众可以辨认.....

我觉得是withhold的用法要求的，

withhold A from B；

whithhold from B A； 

拒绝把A给B；

eg.

The broad has decided to withlold part of the grant money from centain students.

The broad has decided to withhold from centain students part of the grant money.

此题倒过来说是因为the identities后面太长了，容易造成withhold from结构太过离散；
