D, E脫節
A: instead of 後不能接句子
C: plan for不符慣用
另外proposing作整個句子的伴隨修飾

[willyyang]

不選 C，除了plan for 之外，有沒有其他解釋

另外還有一個問題，instead 這裡是當 adv用吧

有沒有NN可以解答？

C. politicians decided to postpone by at least five years an ambitious plan for protecting wild salmon and other endangered fish, and instead they proposed a series of smaller steps, intending

1. decided... and proposed => they 多餘(寫出來變成指代不清: = politician? salmon and fish?)
2. 句意不合理: decided 然後突然轉個彎 and instead proposed 用對等連接詞讀起來感覺措手不及.
3. 分詞片語表示同時/伴隨, intending to protect = to protect (i.e. intending 出現得沒有作用)

查了一下intend的用法，發現修飾時，intended to do(錯），intending to do (對)，固定搭配； 另外做題也發現另外一個規律︰修飾時included(錯)，including(對)，自己總結的啦﹗還蠻自信的這個規律，分享給大家啦﹗
