求GWD25-Q31(开窍了)

31. GWD25-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

答案给的E, 为什么D不对呢

而且to do 不是有目的的含义在里面吗,这个气囊引爆应该是一个突发事件不带有make passenger think the car was on fire这层目的吧?

求高人指教啊

首先我回应对possibility to make的分析，请看字典对possibility的解释如下：
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/possibility



其次，就算有possibility to make的解释，那对于to make，这句话就有两种理解：
1.        按这哥们说的 possibility to make，所以说是有可能性使得乘客受惊
2.        不定式to make做inflated的宾语，表示膨胀是使得乘客受惊的原因
那么这个使得乘客受惊到底是因为膨胀，还是因为可能性？这里就产生了歧义。

而D选项是绝对不会有歧义的，请看我的句子分解：
（SVO部分加粗，Modifiers按级别用{[(< >)]}分解，蓝、绿色为不同从句级别的SVO）



Make是和appear平行的，共同作为smoke这个that从句的谓语动词，表示smoke要做的两件事情（would是虚拟语气appear和make的助动词，表示对不太可能发生的事情的推测）:
1.        烟出现（什么时候出现？when时间状语修饰告诉你，当bag膨胀的时候出现）
2.        延使得乘客受惊
逻辑语义上也确实是烟雾才会使得乘客受惊，包bag不会使得乘客受惊，可能性possibility这个抽象名词也不会使得乘客受惊

综上，选D

拒信飞来

防止气囊膨胀引起的烟，以及（and）防止这种烟给乘客带来着火的假象

烟和带来假象没有目的关系

只有两种关系，要么并列关系，也就是 would appear... and (would) make

要么就是伴随结果关系，would appear...., making...这种烟出现造成了什么什么的结果

这道还是有点晕

萍踪侠影

同意楼主观点选D作正确答案。

假如E是正确答案，那么代入后半句为a burst of smoke would appear when the bag inflated to make an
                        already terrified passenger think the car was on fire.这样可翻译为当气囊膨胀使乘客想起汽车着火的时候，一股烟将会冲出来。试想，气囊的膨胀怎么会使乘客想起汽车着火呢？

当然是D答案代入后句子翻译为“当气囊膨胀时，一股烟将会冲出来并使乘客想起汽车着火”。

这道题目我终于想明白了

答案还是E

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

posibility后边用一个that从句修饰, 但是划掉that从句之后作者真正想说的的 possiblity to make an already terrified  passenger think...

NND......GMAC就是喜欢这么阴险的考句子,迂回了18圈把一个事情说明白.

这道题不是选D么？

possibility that， 不是possibility to do啊。appear和make平行。

一点愚见：
如果是eliminated the possibility (that....) to make an already terrified passenger think...会让句子有歧义。是减少这种possibility来让人们认为车着火了呢？还是减少这种会让人们认为车着火的可能性呢？我觉得还是D好！

that是限定性定于从句，意思不能随便去掉的说
