(C) used the information they had obtained to find evidence that would support
(D) of using the information they had obtained to find evidence that would support
(E) of using such information as they obtained to find evidence that would be supportive of
答案应该是D: 简单的说,是为了避免歧义。 因为如果用used the information they had obtained to find evidence that would support,就有可能被人认为是在与suspected the police of having..... 平行。(当然,你可以认为是与taped her confidential ... )但是GMAT 的语句是绝对不允许有二意性的! 但是如果改为 of using ... 则可以完全避免这一点,别人读起来的时候可以一眼看出来,谁在与谁平行。简单,明了。 所以只能选D!
of having illegally taped her confidential conversations with her client 和of using the information they had obtained to find evidence that would support their murder charges并列。 你要理解这句话的意思。 律师charged一件事情,这件事情就是她怀疑警察对她非法录音然后利用得到的录音去作为他们负责的谋杀案的证据。 如果是charged和used并列就变成律师用这录音去做谋杀案的证据了。 所以选D
