150. In the mid-1960's a newly installed radar warning system mistook the rising of the moon as a massive missile attack by the Soviets. (A) rising of the moon as a massive missile attack by the Soviets (B) rising of the moon for a massive Soviet missile attack (C) moon rising to a massive missile attack by the Soviets (D) moon as it was rising for a massive Soviet missile attack (E) rise of the moon as a massive Soviet missile attack
Though choice D manages the correct preposition, for, the phrase the moon as it was rising for is less efficient and precise than the phrasing of choice B: since rising functions as a verb in D, the phrase for a massive... attack now seems to modify rising rather than mistook. KEYB
我不明白的是B: THE RISING OF MOON 的中心词RISING, 一个抽象的概念怎么会被当做ATTACK 呢? 应该是MOON被当作ATTACK 才对吧? D 中的FOR A ...ATTACK 怎么就变成了修饰RISING 了呢? 因为MISTAKE...FOR 是词组, 怎么我读的时候还是它们的联系强呢?
>D 中的FOR A ...ATTACK 怎么就变成了修饰RISING 了呢? 因为MISTAKE...FOR 是词组, 怎么我读的时候还是它们的联系强呢? 如果只看选项D，不看原文的话，as it was rising for a massive Soviet missile attack整个作为一个从句没什么不妥。这正是og所解释的真正含义：the phrase for a massive... attack now seems to modify rising rather than mistook. 加进原文，同样会有可能产生歧义。
