补充材料106

106.    In large doses, analgesics that work in the brain as antagonists to certain chemicals have caused psychological disturbances in patients, which may limit their potential to relieve severe pain.
(A) which may limit their potential to relieve
(B) which may limit their potential for relieving
(C) which may limit such analgesics’ potential to relieve
(D) an effect that may limit their potential to relieve
(E) an effect that may limit the potential of such analgesics for relieving
因为歧义可以排除a，b，d
但是E的用法中，potential of 。。。for relieving 这样的表达正确吗？
用to 不是更好吗？
请教potential 的用法

问题在their的指代上

tony6

看了以前大家对这题的讨论，都说A、B、C项WHICH会修饰对象不清，可是非限定性定语从句在修饰人的时候不是只能用WHO，WHOM和WHOSE吗？那么WHICH在这里只能指代DISTURBANCES而不会产生修饰对象不清的情况啊。

如果A、B的问题是THEIR的指代不清，那C是不是错在那个所有格上了呢？

请教大家，谢谢。

个人觉得这里for是表示一种用途.to表目的.不知道有没有道理

正是which 指代了DISTURBANCES ，才不清楚。an effect 指代前面一句话。 不能用which.

感恩!!

原来又错在逻辑性!!

ethyl

字典上说potential for dong sth.的意思是“有可能……”，强调可能性

而说a person has the potential to … 的时候，一般意思是有潜力、有能力做某事

A smaller majority also saw its potential for cutting costs in sales and custom supports.

potential for violence

Lemon juice has the potential to damage hair.
