是的，Manhattan里面也指出过avoid long sequences of modifiers that modify the same noun。交换位置是一种修改方法。

manhattan中说：避免一系列的修饰语修饰一个名词
所以是不是可以总结如下？




1. 最常见的模式就是：修饰语，修饰语，主谓宾    ——必错
“studying for a month, writing 50 essays, you did good job.”
放在这道题就是：(D) Approved April 24, 1800, making provision for the removal of the government of the United States to the new federal city, Washington, D.C., the act of Congress also established the Library of Congress.



又例如： George, bothshocking…, who also struggled…, influenced and inspired xxx.
改为：Both shocking and entertaining audiences across thenation, George Carlin influenced and inspired a generation of comedians.


2. 修饰语，主语+定语从句，谓宾 ——这种是对的
“manufactured in the factory, a toy which…., can be played by girls under 3.”


即这道题的正确答案：(A) Approved April 24, 1800, the act of Congress that made provision for the removal of the government of the United States to the new federal city, Washington, D .C ., also established

想问问：修饰语，that....，S，修饰语，VO

这样的结构对嘛？

DUKB24

nope

your unstanding is not accurate


1.back to back modifier is only wrong when those two modifiers are actually modifying the same noun


modifer 1， modifer 2，noun

prep：

Nikola Tesla, the inventor of alternatingcurrent, because he was excited with the prospects of

harnessing Niagara Falls for producingelectric power, he predicted in the mid-1890's that

electricity generated at Niagara wouldone day power the streetcars of London and the

streetlights of Paris.

(A) Nikola Tesla, the inventor ofalternating current, because he was excited with the prospects

of harnessing Niagara Falls for producingelectric power, he

(B) The prospects of harnessing NiagaraFalls to produce electric power was exciting to Nikola

Tesla, the inventor of alternatingcurrent, and so he

(C) Excited about the prospects ofharnessing Niagara Falls to produce electric power, Nikola

Tesla, the inventor of alternatingcurrent,

(D) Nikola Tesla, the inventor ofalternating current, excited about the prospects of harnessing

Niagara Falls for the production ofelectric power and

(E) The inventor of alternating current,excited with the prospects of harnessing Niagara Falls

for producing of electric power, NikolaTesla  

choice D is wrong for having back to back modifier modifying the same noun

2.but you can have correct structure with back to back modifier when the second modifier is actually modifying the first modifier


modifier1， modifier 2（ modify the preceding construction）， noun


here modifier1 actually modifies the noun

this sort of structure appears in official source


I will raise this example later if I remember it


examples can be seen in official sources
