A firm that specializes in the analysis of handwriting claims from a one-page writing
sample that it can assess more than three hundred personality traits, including
enthusiasm, imagination, and ambition.

(A) from a one-page writing sample that it can assess
(B) from a one-page writing sample it has the ability of assessing
(C) the ability, from a one-page writing sample, of assessing
(D) to be able, from a one-page writing sample, to assess
(E) being able to assess, from a one-page writing sample
正确选项to be able, from a one-page writing sample, to assess中，这个from...是修饰be able呢，还是修饰assess呢？

jingangel

修饰的是assess more than 300 traits 这件事。

wulakuka

怎么判断呢，这种夹在中间的状语，难道没有修饰歧义吗？。。

jingangel

这是说firm can 从一页的手写样本中来评估超过300项个性品质。
比如
I'm able to learn knowledge from OG.这句话，用D的表述就是。
I'm able,from OG, to learn knowledge

除了读着不顺，没什么歧义啊。

jingangel

而且这个题关注的焦点也不再这里。
这根本就不是GMAC想考查的点。

Ron大神说过，对于正确选项，思考的方向应该是，how does it work? Why is it better than others?
而不是，它这里可能有问题，那里可能不对。因为这些问题第一不是可以直接排除的硬伤，第二不是题目考查的point。

thanks~! jingangel~

form状语从句判断A错会不会太勉强？claim that在这里被from状从分隔，感觉可以接受啊~ 虽然可能没有D好，那这个A项能不能算正确的呢？求问NN
