The state medicalreview board is considering a new regulation that physicians participatingin state facilities with past malpractice suits having been filed against themare required to disclose any such suits to prospective patients.
A.     thatphysicians participating in state facilities with past malpractice suits havingbeen filed against them are required to disclose any such suits to prospectivepatients.
B.     Thatrequires physicians practicing in state facilities disclose any past malpracticesuits filed against them to prospective patients
C.     Torequire physicians with past malpractice suits filed against them and whopractice in state facilities to disclose these to prospective patients
D.    Forphysicians that practice in state facilities requiring them to have disclosedto prospective patients past malpractice suits filed against them
E.     Requiringphysicians who practice in state facilities to disclose to prospective patientsany past malpractice suits filed against them


答案是E，我选的是B，因为个人认为E当中them 有可能会指代patients产生歧义，不知道我这个理解是不是有问题？

我觉得b错在require的用法
require that 虚拟
require sb to do
b这两种用法都不符合

b中them的位置的确比E好。但是b有语法错，e 的话根据句意可能不会有很大的歧义

同意ls的require用法

regulation屬於法律範疇，用v-ing表示法律內容較that-clause簡潔。

題目使用的是disclose something to somebody的結構，注意這題的something較長，所以爲了避免頭重腳輕，把something移到後面，使用disclose to somebody something。這是D優於B的另一個原因。

pronoun ambiguity不是絕對的法則，Ron神說過G題里有很多有pronoun ambiguity問題的，所以建議優先考慮其他absolute rules;)
