limitation of

                    has

比較一下這兩者的不同：

原句:  The girl who played the piano did not know it.

簡化 : The girl playing the piano did not know it.        

       

原句:  The girl did not know it as she was playing the piano.

簡化:  The girl did not know it playing the piano.

         這一句的playing the piano啟不是造成修飾對象的歧視? 原意是修飾 the girl 的，

         但這樣一簡化之後，乍看之下還以為是修飾 it 的。所以才說E選項這樣表達不好。
