A, best. 动词construct的一个常用表达construct sth. to do, 故名词形式construction有用to do比for doing好。

例：Economic models will be constructed to explain the differing unemployment experience of different individuals in each of these markets.

B. between 1876 and 1904 修饰systems错，产生歧义：systems只存在于between 1876 and 1904 ，而不是construct between 1876 and 1904。

C. have led between 1876 and 1904, 过去时间用现在完成时错。

D. leading修饰health错，且句义表达不如A (可归为能用动词形式表达最好用动词，不要名词形式，如There were concerns… )。

E. between 1876 and 1904 修饰错，There are同上句式选择错。

Good explanation on B. This is an additional mistake besides the 'present perfect time' mistake

不明白为什么between是修饰system的，如B答案所示。

我想请问: 句中的 between 1876 and 1904  作者本意 到底是修饰 construction 还是system的呢?

construction

本意是修饰construction,B中得修饰产生歧义,造成between可能修饰systems.

我想可能还是A更好一些,无论是从时态讲,还是从句意的清晰考虑.

偶认为一般情况下如果A没有明显逻辑错误的话，作者的本意还是应该以A为准...

大家是判断时态为一般过去时是根据BETWEEN的,那BETWEEN应该修饰谓语动词LEAD TO才可以啊~

所以我觉得BETWEEN修饰CONSTRUCTION, 所以B中的现在完成时的时态没有问题!

注意时间壮语位置和简化结构合理性就行
