(A) trying to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical that is irritating it
(B) trying that it metabolize, or render harmless, the. chemical irritant
(C) attempt to try to metabolize, or render harmless, such a chemical irritant
(D) attempt to try and metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritating it
(E) attempt to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritant
ANS:E
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although an “-ing” verb such as trying can sometimes be used as a noun, the phrase the organism’s trying to metabolize in A is unidiomatic because trying is used as the object of organism’s.

OG 的意思是

trying 是organism's 的受詞，所以後面不接不定詞 to+V嗎？

也就是受詞後面不接不定詞，是這樣嗎？

還是有我看錯了？

OG的意思應該 "動名詞 V-ing" 作名詞用時,是除非此單字無任何名詞可以用時,(有時是因其他慣用句型如 enjoy V-ing) 才會被迫使用, 否則應避免使用

所以竟然trying這個字的意思做名詞用時, 有更好的名詞 "attempt"可以使用, 就應避免使用 → 消去 (A), (B) 選項
(C), (D) 選項 attempt to try , 因 attempt = try 所以 重複意思 redundant
所以答案是(E)
