以下是引用Breath在2008-11-1 22:53:00的发言：the nation’s highest military award for long-overdue&nb ...

那个。。为什么是目的啊。。。不是因为他们用该才award吗？

这题其实要弄清2点，不能混在一起

1 对这个奖进行说明（the nation’s highest military award ）
2 对为什么发奖给这些人进行说明（in recognition of their outstanding bravery.）

A ：用了 and 直接把2跟1都归于award了
B: 用了for long-overdue，错误同上
C: ong-overdue in修饰对象不明
D: 同B

本来跟LZ一样选了D,查了字典对recognition的解释，第一条就是 an award in recognition of one's service,  ...

正解正解正解正解正解正解！

Here we have a "split sentence"--framework #4. The middle phrase "the nation's highest military award" is just a descriptive phrase that describes "Medal of Honor." Taking out this phrase, you have the core of the sentence mentioned above... "[They] were awarded X in recognition of Y" (Look at how much simpler this is to handle than the real question!)

Awarded "the Medal of Honor" is correct and simple.
Awarded "with the Medal of Honor" is unnecessary and more complex.

Notice the phrase "in long overdue recognition"...here "long overdue" is just extra wording...really the idiomatic expression is "in recognition of"---which is used correctly in answer E.

I'd say that it is an adverbial phrase - it modified the verb "awarded", and answers the question "why was this medal awarded?". technically, it should be as close to the verb as possible, but the verb "awarded" requires its direct object "the congressional medal of honor": first tell me what was awarded, then tell me why.

In any case, E is fine: I give you this medal in recognition of your achievements"

D (and also B) is eliminated for illogical meaning - if we place the long-overdue adjective after "for", it becomes part of what the medal is given for. Thus, D and B seem to suggest that the purpose of the medal is to always award long overdue recognitions - which doesn't make sense.
A and C are eliminated mostly because of a tense problem - the congressional medal of honor still IS the nation's highest military award, presumably, so the use of the past tense "was" is incorrect.

这题应该是基于逻辑作出判断吧
E选项两个逗号之间的成分是对the congressional medal of honor的补充说明，没有问题
D选项
若从逗号后面是想对the congressional medal of honor进行补充说明来看，their指的是前文获奖的soldiers，不是广义的soldiers，因此the nation's highest military award...for their(African American soldiers')...逻辑不通

都没说点子上。固定搭配都能咧上来 ，呵呵
此题就是在考修饰。
the nation's highest military award for recognition哪个国家军队的最高奖只是为了表彰承认一类人或一件事儿的? 所以 abcd表达会造成误解。但e是修饰 一次颁奖这个事儿，当然一次颁奖只是为了奖励某个特殊群体，所以 状语修饰更合理，故为e

一个国家奖项，一个对象泛化的名词 ，和一个具体的事儿，不能形成修饰关系，否则逻辑上就会感觉不对劲儿

同意按照逻辑解题，当然固定搭配能更迅速地帮助解题啦。
假设并不知道award能不能搭配with，也可以根据逻辑来解题。这个奖项是一般化的奖项，适用情况不能够特殊化到这几个人，所以将这几个人的情况做定语成分用来修饰奖项的都不对。
A选项两个which平行共同修饰奖项，然而第二个which所表达的含义是一种特殊情况，是一种仅仅针对这几个人的情况，所以不能看成一般化情况来修饰这个奖项，所以A错误
B选项，award for后面表示的是授予奖项的原因，从另一个层面来说也是对奖项做了情况的限定，而这种情况是特殊情况，所以也不对，D选项同理
所以只剩C和E，并不是定语而都是状语。不同之处在于long-overdue到底应该修饰整个状语还是修饰recognition，当然修饰recognition更合适一些
