For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment, a method to protect warriors against enemy arrows and spears.

(A)  a method to protect

(B)  as a method protecting

(C)  protecting

(D)  as a protection of  

(E)   to protect

Choice C is best because the participle protecting begins a phrase that explains what the shields did. Choices A and B awkwardly use the singular word method to refer to items of military equipment
rather than to the use of such items. Also, a method of protecting would be more idiomatic than a method to protect in A or a method protecting in B. In B and D, as is incorrect; also, a protection in D has no noun for which it can logically substitute. Choice E is incomplete; used to protect would have been acceptable.
想请问，这个protecting是修饰谁的：shields? or items?

还有protecing是做状语还是宾语？

lorrain_cc

状语吧~

payo

知道是什么语有啥用啊

lorrain_cc

那LZ不是这么问的么- -
我觉得是伴随功能吧,逻辑主语是animal-hide shields ??

payo

嗯 修饰shields 总觉得这半句放在最后不太好

sumerlaw

状语吧~

你好：lorrain_cc状语的话，是什么状语呢？伴随动作？伴随结果？请详解

sumerlaw

自己到认为有两种可能：

1，作定语修饰items，应为跟在equipment的后面，所有要加逗号，就像OG11所说的表示items 的propose

2，做状语前面的句子，表示shield的功能。叫功能状语。可是有功能状语吗？

lorrain_cc

恩??我3L说了~~我觉得是功能状语~应该是做状语,表功能~

lorrain_cc你可以给我举个例子吗？

还有你能不能给我个理由说服我，不是做items的定语

谢谢啦

lorrain_cc

例子暂时没有,但我是在BY上看到的,
-ing分词在句尾 表伴随动作 状态 功能,逻辑主语等于句子主语,且优先做状语
-ed分词在句尾 一般优先就近做定语 修饰名词

归根结底,这里可以用来保护士兵的是shields,而shields是必要的军事设备的项目吧~
