慣用impose to，刪D, E
being，刪A
B不好
因為authority to do sth
且句子後半部分裡的平行

C. to borrow money, (limitations intended to protect) 算同位語嗎?

B. to borrow money, the objectives of which are the protecting of

bonus:B不好
因為authority to do sth
且句子後半部分裡的平行

還是不太清楚耶?
B的確不好看
還有哪一點不好?

恩~
_________, limitations intended to protect 是一種同位語的表達方式~表示對於limitation做進一步說明。

(B)選項的問題：
1. the objectives of "which" 不知是在指哪一個(指代模糊)，是most states, limitations, 還是 authority of the legislature ？ (句意是limitation)
2. the "protecting" of 動名詞使用不佳，若有名詞的形式，則用名詞形~"protection" (原則：名詞形優於動名詞形)
3. 句意來看…少了一種"去"的描述 (直翻為：限制的目標是保護…)，不妥~
用intend to 可能傳達 " 意圖去"的目的概念 (限制是去保護…)，較佳！


以上 參考
