55.(27372-!-item-!-188;#058&003503)

With a new park, stadium, and entertainment complex along the Delaware River, Trenton, New Jersey, is but one of a large number of communities that is looking to use its waterfront as a way for it to improve the quality of urban life and attract new businesses.

(A) is looking to use its waterfront as a way for it to improve the quality of urban life and attract

(B) is looking at using its waterfront to improve the quality of urban life and attract

(C) are looking to use their waterfronts to improve the quality of urban life and attract

(D) are looking to use its waterfront as a way of improving the quality of urban life and attracting

(E) are looking at using their waterfronts as a way of improving the quality of urban life and attract

问题如下，is but one of a large number of communities that are looking...

虽然句意告诉我that从句修饰的是communities，可是从高中老师就告诉我如果定语从句前面是the only n.（单数） of n.（复数）之类的，那么定语从句修饰的是前面那个单数名词而不是后面那个复数名词，表示对前者的强调，现在这个but one一样是一个强调，为什么不能理解成强调前面呢？

没人？ 自己顶一个

that 就近修饰communities。虽然就语法来讲A、D都对，that 也允许跳跃修饰介词前的核心词one，但选D不选A的原因在于选项A相较于D用词冗长多余：use its waterfront as a way for it，Use与as a way for it意思重复，用词多余，故排除
