LZM E8-2 介词短语的题

dandan74

Building large new hospital in the bistate area would constitute a wasteful use of resources, on the basis of avoidance of duplicated facilities alone.

E) if only because the duplication of acilities should be avoided.
这道题觉得LZM解释的很乱，我觉得应该中心词入手，被avoid应该是duplication而不是
facilities.大家觉得呢? 另外，我在做这种介词短语 vs. 状语或定语从句的时候，总是很蒙，觉的都对。大家有什么经验呢?

你的解释也很对。另外on the basis of 用在这不知所云。
还有，如果用介词短语要说明某事而不得不将动词名词化+of表达，通常是不好的

其实 if only because 是固定用法,而且这个题目的选项中,只有这个短语的意思是正确的.
例如:
The simultaneous introduction of several animals lessens the effect, if only because the group divides its attention among the multiple targets.
if only because=it is only because, if it is so假如这样，仅仅因为)
