偶也以为是D,

E让人感觉make an already terrified passenger think the car was on fire. 是Inflated 的目的

NN现身吧

你说得对。的确应该选D。因为这里让顾客收惊吓的不应该是inflate，（虽然说老实话，撞车时安全气囊突然嘣一声暴开也挺让人害怕的），但是这里说得是会人人们误以为车on fire 而感到terrified。那么这里的让顾客惊讶的是inflate的时候冒出的烟，而不是inflate本身。所以如果有人想把E中的to make解释成inflate的目的，这是不正确的。

老大,注意时态

New items developed for automobiles in the 1997 model year included

a safer air bag , which, unlike previous air bags, eliminated the possibility

that a burst of smoke would appear when the bag inflated, and making an

already terrified passenger think the car was on fire.

A.    inflated, and making.

B.     Inflated, so that it could make.

C.     Inflated and made
    (如果用and made，会产生阅读歧义，是air bag还是smoke 让乘客产生。。。。。)

D.    Inflated and make
   （make时态不对）

E.     Inflated to make.

老大，注意这里是would appear and make。时态没有问题。

think the car was on fire? 为什么宾语从句的that可以省略？

不是省略that，是make sb do sth

人间自有真理在,同志们,好多文章都是nytimes上的

New items now being developed for the 1997 model year include a nonsmoking (it has nothing to do with cigarettes) bag, which eliminates the possibility that a burst of smoke will appear when the bag inflates and make an already terrified passenger think the car is on fire. Also in the works are door-panel bags that inflate during side collisions.

看来D没有争议了

**************************************************

老大注意单复数!  你D中 inflated和make并列本身就并列错了.make是和appear对等的.否则按您的分析,纽约时报原文里 make就要变成makes和inflates并列了!

难得的好题

Q31

New items developed for automobiles in the 1997 model year included

a safer air bag , which, unlike previous air bags, eliminated the possibility

that a burst of smoke would appear when the bag inflated, and making an

already terrified passenger think the car was on fire.

A.     inflated, and making.

B.     Inflated, so that it could make.

C.     Inflated and made.

D.     Inflated and make.

E.      Inflated to make.

开始选了B，因为两个动词连在一起inflate, make 根据逻辑判断

a burst would make an already terrified passenger think the car was on fire

所以and make与　when the bag inflated　连在一起有歧义。所以应该用逗号隔开消除歧义，但A中making 显然错误就选了B,但做题的时候也觉得B不不太好。

作完再回头细看，inflated and make　时态不同所以消除了与when the bag inflated并列的歧义。

如果B选项改为and that it could make 应该也可以，但没有D简洁，没有歧义的前提下，尽量的简洁为最高原则。好题
