GWD1-Q41:Leaching,the recovery of copper from the drainage water of mines, as a method of theextraction of minerals, it was well established as early as the eighteenthcentury, but until about 25 years ago miners did not realize that bacteria takean active part in the process.
A.   as a method of the extraction of minerals,it was well established
B.   as a method of the extraction of mineralswell established
C.   was a well-established method of mineralextraction
D.   was a well-established method of extractingmineral that was
E.  had been a method of mineral extraction, well established

OA:C
E中well established为什么会有歧义？


根据manhattan讲的mission-critical原则：A "mission-critical" modifier falls between. This modifier is often an Of phrase that
defines the noun. The less important modifier refers to the noun plus the first modifier.
怎么会有歧义呢？established不是应该修饰 a method of mineral extraction这个整体吗？


另外had been的时态明显比正确答案C好啊，18世纪明显早于25 years ago，用过去完成时和过去时更能体现时间先后关系啊


跪求解惑。谢谢！

SVO, V-ed不可以修饰主语啊。从来没见过这种用法

只见过V-ed，SVO修饰主语的。


根据touch rule 过去分词只能修饰最近的名词呀
