标题: OG20SC一道关于means前介词的理解！求大神

OG20-833题

The Eastern State Penitentiary was established in 1822 by reformers advocating that prisoners be held in solitary confinement and hard labor so as to reform them.

A. advocating that prisoners be held in solitary confinement and hard labor so as to reform them

B. who were advocating prisoners to be held in solitary confinement and hard labor for their reform

C. advocating solitary confinement and hard labor as the means to reform prisoners

D. who advocated solitary confinement and hard labor for the means of prisoner reform

E. advocating as the means for prisoner reform solitary confinement and hard labor

答案选C

我选择了D,求问D中for the means of会产生还有其他means的歧义是什么意思？为什么C中as the means to会更好呢？

不太理解，真心求教！！

reformers advocating solitary confinement and hard labor as the means to reform prisoners
to表示means的目的，一般目的都用to来表达，且to动作的发出者是reformers我们知道了reformers想要 reform prisoners。

reformers who advocated solitary confinement and hard labor for the means of prisoner reform
是谁想prisoner reform呢？
我们只知道reformers提出了具体手段是solitary confinement and hard labor。
因为prisoner自己也能提出prisoner reform。
所以到底是reformers还是prisoner想prisoner reform，我们不知道。
所以意思含糊不清。
