enabling做后置定语

经常有法律条文什么 后面会直接跟doing做后置定语

例如新prepSC中的NYC ordiance regulating XXX

还有agreement requiring什么的

不过我也想问B为什么不如A?

Choice A is best: enabling ... clearly modifies powers, it refers logically and grammatically to the Central Intelligence Agency, and to withhold from the public is concisely and idiomatically phrased. In choices B and C, the preposition for is used unidiomatically in place of the "-ing" modifier to introduce the phrase describing powers. In choices C, D, and E, withholding)... disclosure is wordy and imprecise, since it is really the identities that are to be withheld. The plural pronouns them in D and they in E do not agree with the singular Agency, and that in E mistakenly introduces a new independent clause rather than a modifying phrase for powers.

简单说就是for导致后面的动作的逻辑主语变成主句主语，改变句子含义了。

如果是doing，紧跟被修饰词，逻辑关系就相当清楚，it说的就是CIA了。

我只记得老师上课讲过 for it 一般为错误选项
