[問題]OG188

[nexxt0722]

188. As a result of medical advances, many people that might at one time have died as children
of such infections as diphtheria, pneumonia, or rheumatic fever now live well into old age.

(A)that might at one time have died as children
(B)who might once have died in childhood
(C)hat as children might once have died
(D)who in childhood might have at one time died
(E)who, when they were children, might at one time have died

答案是B,完整句子如下
As a result of medical advances, many people who might once have died in childhood
of such infections as diphtheria, pneumonia, or rheumatic fever now live well into old age.

我想請問的是have died in childhood of such infections的結構

狀況1.have died of such infections,中間插入時間副詞片語in childhood-->有無不當介入的問題?

狀況2.have died in childhood, 然後用of such infections來修飾childhood-->句意好像怪怪的?!

OG的解釋只說in childhood 和 into old age 是對稱平衡,還請前輩牛人指點迷津,感謝!

因為主角是died in childhood與live into old age的comparison
such infection是修飾die
中間鑲入of such infection反而讓意思混亂
