A.an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system'sability to deal
B.an especially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system'scapability of dealing
C.an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of therespiratory system in dealing
D.a specially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of therespiratory system to deal
E.a specially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system'sability to deal
答案是A.可以理解。
解释中说D, of the respiratory system 插入语使得to deal 可修饰动词 diminish怎么理解呢？？？？
怎么看to deal 还是修饰the respiratory system啊

verb modifier有一種是infinitive的形式，表示目的。
答案的意思是diminish的目的是爲了deal with all other pollutants

雖然manhattan沒有說infinitive可以做noun modifier，但是俺貌似記得是見過把infinitive放在noun後面修飾noun的。
但不確定，希望有見到正確句子是這個用法的童鞋熱心地po上來share之^^謝~
