C for investigating what the effects on workers' performance are that changes in working conditions would cause.
D that investigated changes in working conditions' effects on workers' performance
E to investigate what the effects changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance
正确答案是B,但对E有点疑惑,不能表示目的用to do吗?

第一题。我也考虑过。后来想通了。
to do当然可以表示目的,不能用的原因是to do之外的地方有错误。
注意看E选项 to investigate what the effects changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance, 如果问了what the effects就不能用changes in working conditions,因为changes in working conditions就是修饰说明the effects的,不能一边说不能知道是什么effects(用what effects)一边又明确的说是changes in working conditions这个effects,这不是明显的混乱吗?
这句可以写成:
1、 to investigate what the effects would have on workers' performance(与原意逻辑意思不一致)
2、 to investigate the effects changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance(与原意逻辑意思一致)
第二题。楼上说的对。再简单一点儿就是:做chair of the planning board for 18 consecutive years and a board member for 28 years的时候JP是chair(主席),28年之后才变成former。你说JP是做了28年的主席还是前主席?
如果选A就说JP做了28年的前主席。
