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.
D. inflated and make E. inflated to make
這道題我覺得答案是D。 以下探討一下獨立出現的不定詞短語to V 跟平行邏輯語意的看法。
（皆以正確句舉例）
[ 獨立出現的不定詞短語to V ]
首先，獨立出現的意思是指，這個to沒有跟其他的動詞/名詞形成固定搭配（比如不是搭成use ... to, require...to, attempt...to, ability...to等等）而是獨立出現的在句中。這時候，其實這個to V是修飾最接近的動作，通常表其目的。這個V的邏輯主語，要抓它修飾的那個動作的發出者。
Under a provision of the Constitution that has never beenapplied. Congress is required to call a convention to consider possible amendmentsto the document when formally asked to do so by the legislatures of two-thirdsof the states. tto consider當call a convention...的目的，抓call的語意上的動作發出者Congress Unlike a funded pension system, in Which contributions areinvested to pay future beneficiaries, Social Security is founded on apay-as-you-go approach to pay 當are invested的目的，邏輯主語抓contributions A proposal has beenmade to trim the horns from rhinoceroses to discourage poachers; the questionis whether tourists will continue to visit game parks to see rhinoceroses oncethe animals' horns have been trimmed. to visit表 visit game parks的目的，邏輯主語抓visit的動作發出者tourists
回到這個題目的E選項： that a burst of smoke would appear when the bag inflated to make an already terrified passenger think the car was on fire. 邏輯主語抓inflated的動作發出者bag，換言之，句意是「bag make an already terrified passenger think the car was on fire」 「氣囊膨脹讓人認為車子著火了」來，請大家先記住這個句意。接下來我們看平行結構。
[ 平行動詞的邏輯句意 ]
V1 and V2的平行有兩種情況：1. 列舉獨立事件 （這個大家很熟悉了） 2. 表直接的先後因果（這個就是這題的用法）
舉一個平行動詞表直接因果的正確句子：
Theonly way for growers to salvage frozen citrus is to have it quickly processedinto juice concentrate before warmer weather returns and rots the fruit. 句意上「天氣回暖」跟「暖天氣讓水果爛掉」是有直接因果關係的，而非獨立事件。
回到這一題的D選項： 「a burst of smoke would appear when the bag inflated, and make an already terrified passenger think the car was on fire.」 原形動詞make表示其與前面的appear平行，主詞為a burst of smoke， 核心句意為：「a burst of smoke would appear ... and make an already terrified passenger think the car was on fire.」 appear跟make有沒有因果呢？「一陣煙出現」「使人認為車子著火了」，常理可以理解的因果對吧？ 這就是平行動詞的「表先後因果」用法。 而這句的make主詞為a burst of smoke，句意為「一陣煙使人認為車子著火」。好，這句話也記得。
最後，讓我們來把剛剛分析to V的最後一句拿過來對照。 E：「氣囊膨脹讓人認為車子著火」 D：「一陣煙讓人認為車子著火」
哪個更合理？不言自明了吧。 因此個人認為這題答案是D。原GWD參考答案有誤。
