7. A firm that specializes in the analysis of handwriting claims from a one-page writing
sample that it can assess more than three hundred personality traits, including
enthusiasm, imagination, and ambition.

(A) from a one-page writing sample that it can assess
(B) from a one-page writing sample it has the ability of assessing
(C) the ability, from a one-page writing sample, of assessing
(D) to be able, from a one-page writing sample, to assess
(E) being able to assess, from a one-page writing sample

请教A中如果把from a one-page writing sample 放到句子的最后是不是就是正确的了，
没有歧义的了，另外如果把划线的部分改一下

A firm that specializes in the analysis of handwriting claims from a one-page writing
sample that it can assess more than three hundred personality traits, including
enthusiasm, imagination, and ambition.

A.  that it can assess more than three hundred personality traits, including
enthusiasm, imagination, and ambition from a one-page writing sample .
D.   to be able, from a one-page writing sample, to assess more than three hundred
personality traits, including enthusiasm, imagination, and ambition.

应该还是优选D，对吗？

我觉得这题的一个考察点是from a one-page writing sample这个修饰语的位置。
您提到的“请教A中如果把from a one-page writing sample 放到句子的最后是不是就是正确的了，没有歧义的了”
我不同意，如果把from a one-page writing sample 放到句尾，它有可能修饰claims也有可能修饰can assess。这里from a one-page writing sample 这个介词短语最好的位置应该如D所示，放在be able和to access之间，译为能够从a one-page writing sample中评估出，这样句意被最好的表达。
个人意见，还请指正！

同意ecsniffer的观点：“放到句尾，它有可能修饰claims也有可能修饰can assess”。
当然claim that的用法是可以的。
A如果改为
A.  that it can, from a one-page writing sample, assess more than three hundred personality traits, including enthusiasm, imagination, and ambition.
应该可以接受。但觉得因为CAN的缘故还是没有D好。
