27. Obtaining an investment-grade ratine will keep the countv’s future borrowing costs low, protect its already-tattered image, and increase its ability to buy bond insurance. (A) Obtaining an investment-grade rating will keep the county’s future borrowing costs low, protect (B) To obtain an investment-grade rating will keep the county’s future borrowing costs low, and protect (C) Having obtained an investment-grade rating will, in keeping the county’s future borrowing costs low, protect (D) To obtain an investment-grade rating would keep the county’s future borrowing costs low, protecting (E) Obtaining an investment-grade rating, keeping the county’s borrowing costs low, would be protecting
其中og对D的解释是：（我自己把它分成两点）求解释 1、this sentence implies that obtaining an investment-grade rating and keeping costs low are the same thing; 有这种用法吗？难道是同位语？有这种奇葩的同位语吗？ 2、this version of the sentence makes the referent of the possessive pronoun its uncertain because the possessive pronoun no longer identifies with the possessive noun in a grammatically parallel series.这句话真心看不懂。
【2nd問題】 僅僅看keep the county's future borrowing costs low，很有歧義。到底county's是修飾哪一個名詞成份呢？ 1、keep the county's future borrowing costs low 2、keep the county's future borrowing costs low
上面是兩種可能的理解，黑體字是object，後面的內容都是修飾黑體字的後置定語;)

this version of the sentence makes the referent of the possessive pronounits uncertain because the possessive pronoun no longer identifies with the possessive noun in a grammatically parallel series. 這裡possessive pronoun表示its，possessive noun表示county。 所以上面的意思是，possessive pronoun指代不確定，是因為possessive noun結構有問題。
1、keep the county's future borrowing costs low 2、keep the county's future borrowing costs low its可以分別指代上面兩個黑體部份： 1st表示，保持county（借款成本少）的未來 2nd表示，保持county（少）的未來借款成本
