Q23:
Past assessments of the Brazilian rain forest have used satellite images to tally deforested areas, where farmers and ranchers have clear-cut and burned all the trees, but such work has not addressed either logging, which is the removal of only selected trees, as well as surface fires, burning down individual trees but do not denude the forest.
B.which removes only selected trees, or surface fires that burn
D.removing only selected trees, or surface fires, burning
ans:B 原因引述pufa大大所說"歧義"
一、n. which xxx(v.)的情況下，基於簡潔原則，傾向於使用n. xxxing。
二、在n., which xxx(v.)的情況下，在較為複雜的句型時，不考慮使用n., xxxing，因為後者容易產生歧意。

Q24:
By sucking sap from the young twigs of the hemlock tree, tree growth is retarded by the woolly adelgid, causing needles to change color from deep green to grayish green and to drop prematurely.
D.the woolly adelgid retards tree growth, causing needles to change color from deep green to grayish green and to drop
我也同意答案裡面D最好,但是我的問題是causing在這邊會不會也產生歧義問題(同pufa大大所說的)
