liang12460

[白2-5]While some propose to combat widespread illegal copying of computer programs by attempting to change people's attitudes towards pirating, others by suggesting reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling for the prosecution of those who copy software illegally.
[A] by suggesting reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling
B]by suggesting the reducion of software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others call
[C] suggest the reducion of software prices for decreasing the incentive for pirating, and still others call
[D] suggest the reducion of software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling
[E] suggest reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others are calling





答案是E
这个题目的A，B，D很容易排除
但对于C和E
官方的解释是：C中的
动作的目的用for doing表达是错的。而且，for decreasing…修饰对象也有争议，可能作为the reduction of software prices的定语，也可能作为suggest…的状语。

这个是为什么呢？为什么既可以做定语又可以做状语呢？请达人指教。另外大家有什么好方法去排除这种定语和状语混淆的情况吗？
