Defense attorneys have occasionally argued that their clients' misconduct stemmed from a reaction to something ingested, but in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy, the perpatrators are in effect told that they are not responsible for their actions.
A
B if criminal or delinquent behavior is attributed to an allergy to some food.
C in attributing behavior that is criminal or delinquent to an allergy to some food
D if some food allergy is attributed as the cause of criminal or delinquent behavior,
E in attributing a food allergy as the cause of criminal or delinquent behavior.
答案是B。og的解释总说：mispalsed modifier.怎么回事啊

这题根据attribute to的搭配，可以直接排除DE,
剩下ABC, 先比较AC,A比C简洁，所以可排除C，
再比较AB，发现in attributing ... to ...这个attributing的动作发起者不是很明确，而B则意思表达挺明确的

不知道这样的思路能理解么？我也只是自己琢磨的，讲的不是很透彻哈。。

手头木有OG，我也有点忘了哪里说misplaced modifier了，是说B用if正确，而A用in attributing错误这个点么？

是这样：
原句 Defense attorneys have occasionally argued that their clients' misconduct stemmed from a reaction to something ingested, but in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy, the perpatrators are in effect told that they are not responsible for their actions.

In doing sth. 是【介词+动名词】的形式，这个形式和【V-ing】放在句首是一样都需要考虑逻辑主语的。也就是说：用这个形式的话，句子主语必须是in doing sth.这个词组的合理主语。

但是这道题，如果用in attributing....  就变成了【perpatrator（被告人）自己把“犯罪归因于食物过敏”】，但其实句子是想说：【如果犯罪被归因于食物过敏的话，被告人有怎么样的反应】

所以，用if就没有逻辑主语的需求了。而且也就解决了用【in doing】带来得逻辑主语指代错误的问题～
