OG16 vebal 63 Many kitchens today

白冬冬

Many kitchens today are equipped with high-speed electrical gadgets, such as blenders and food processors, which are able to inflict as serious injuries as those caused by an industrial wood-planing machine.

(A) which are able to inflict as serious injuries as those
(B) which can inflict serious injuries such as those
(C) inflicting injuries as serious as that having been
(D) capable to inflict injuries as serious as that
(E) capable of inflicting injuries as serious as those


除了D capable to； C that 应为those 可以排除; B such as 举例不正确。A/e 无法抉择。
og 答案没有指出 A/B 的which 有修饰问题。 A的OG解释： the term able suggest agency, which kitchen gadgets do not have. 不明白，是说A的able to 表示kitchen 的intention 吗？

我是这样理解的，我们只是要从这五个里面选出一个最好的

A - ...gadgets, <举例>, which are able to ... 这里的which不能跳过<such as...>， 所以修饰的是processors
E - ...gadgets, <such as...>, capable of inflicting 这里的capable of doing 修饰的是gadgets，语意正确

which只能代指一个词，在这里which修饰的是processor而不是gadget，造成歧义，AB可以排除
C里面having bee ...

这个which是完全可以跳跃修饰gadgets的。

谢谢elusive， 这个which 确实不能跳过两个comma修饰之前那个词。但是og 的答案也没有说a是错在which修饰 ...

不能跳个屁，在前有“核心词+介词、分词等修饰结构”或者插入语的情况下，which跳跃修饰前面的核心词，不能修饰紧邻的名词

刚才看了另外一道题RON的解答， 贴一下那道题The Environmental Protection Agency frequently puts mandatory controls on toxic substances that present as little risk as one in a million chances to cause cancer.
(A) as little risk as one in a million chances to cause
(B) as little risk as one chance in a million of causing
(C) as little risk as one chance in a million that it will cause
(D) a risk as little as one chance in a million for causing
(E) a risk as little as one chance in a million for it to cause

选B
关于as...as中间的有这么几种
①little、few、 many、much这几种形容词的时候： as little risk as (right)     as little a risk as (wrong)      a risk as little as(wrong)
②普通形容词：①可数名词 as beautiful a gift as(right)    as beautiful gifts as (wrong) 应该改为 gifts as beautiful as (right)
                        ②不可数名词同样，只能是 water as cold as...


欢迎各位牛牛补充指正~~

About 5 million acres in the United States have been invaded by leafy spurge, a herbaceous plant from Eurasia,with milky sap, that gives mouth sores to cattle and displaces grasses and other cattle food, rendering rangeland worthless. 这是正确选项，这里that就是跳过了with miky sap的。og的题

og后面还有半句说as serious injuries as  non-idiomatic，有个关于as的总结帖里说Ron觉得as...as结构本来就多用于形容词serious而非名词injuries。
另外，able to在这里可能不如capable of强调厨房用于会导致受伤的能力所以able to也不够恰当。曼哈顿上似乎有讨论过can, be able to, be capable of的区别不过我没查到。。。望指点
