Crises in international diplomacy do not always result from malice; for nations, like individuals, can find themselves locked into difficult positions, unable to back down. A

(A) do not always result from malice; for nations, like individuals, can find

(B) do not always results from malice; nations, just as individuals, finding

(C) do not always results from malice; nations, such as individuals, can find

(D) aren’t always the results of malice; nations in the same way that individuals can find（A）

(E) aren’t resulting always from malice; just like individuals who can find

答案没问题。

我的问题是for nations, like individuals, can find themselves locked into difficult positions, unable to back down.这里的unable to back down在这个句子中是什么成分？做状语补充说明前面的find themselves locked into difficult positions,还是别的什么？

谢谢指点。

for nations, like individuals, can find themselves locked into difficult positions, (and are) unable to back down

It seems to be "absolute modifier".

我也有同样的问题；再顶一下：

可不可以理解为：

形容词做状语，修饰整个句子？

既然大家都对答案没有疑问，那能不能帮我解释一下那个for nations里的for是什么成份？是表示原因吗？如果是的话，那么分号后面岂不是没有主句？

谢谢！

有道理，这里的分号好像的确应该改为逗号。for应该是个连词，表原因。

看来，小马蛋糕快成大蛋糕了，问的问题好难啊。
