19. Federal legislation establishing a fund for the cleanup of sites damaged by toxic chemicals permits compensating state governments for damage to their natural resources but does not allow claims for injury to people.
(A) compensating state governments for damage to
(B) compensating state governments for the damaging of
(C) giving state governments compensation for damaging
(D) giving compensation to state governments for the damage of
(E) the giving of compensation to state governments for damaging
Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and E could be read as saying that state governments can be compensated for damaging their own natural resources. The phrasing in C, D, and E is needlessly wordy, and for the damage of in D is unidiomatic. This question is difficult.

經過解釋後, 我還是不清楚考點以及題目的真正意思
請大家幫忙

294. Federal legislation establishing a fund for the cleanup of sites damaged by toxic chemicals permits compensating state governments for damage to their natural resources but does not allow claims for injury to people.
(A) compensating state governments for damage to
(B) compensating state governments for the damaging of
(C) giving state governments compensation for damaging
(D) giving compensation to state governments for the damage of
(E) the giving of compensation to state governments for damaging

Ans: A

按照所給的解釋:
(B) (C) (E) Ving 表示動作, 所以有破壞了自然資源然後去求償的意思
(C) (D) (E) giving compensation 或 the giving of compensation 就是 compensating, 所以不簡潔
(D) for the damage of +N 應該是 for damage to +N. 我想這兩個片語意思不同. 前者限定為受損的自然資源,後者指對自然資源的損害;前者可能來自天災,後者多指人為造成的損害.

damage to(名詞用): 指的是對.....的損失
也就是說，補償state governments 是因為自然資然的損害

而for (the) damaging, 則可被理解為「動詞」，會被理解為補償state governments是因為「state governments破壞了自然資源」

犯amb.錯
