(B)The prospects of harnessing Niagara Falls to produce electric power was exciting to Nikola Tesla, the inventor of alternating current, and so he
(C)Excited about the prospects of harnessing Niagara Falls to produce electric power, Nikola Tesla, the inventor of alternating current,
(D)Nikola Tesla, the inventor of alternating current, excited about the prospects of harnessing Niagara Falls for the production of eletric power and
(E)The inventor of alternating current, excited with the prospects of harnessing Niagara Falls for producing of electric power, Nikola Tesla

[jamesbegins]

(D)... for the production of electric power.....

原題是to produce

動詞改成名詞造成句意改變 : 對瀑布能發電感到興奮 vs. 對瀑布的發電量感到興奮

我是看到這就砍了它了...

這種題目，我都會想到老莫講的：輕重原則
（個人覺得，這是老莫講的最好的地方）


英文的句法，敘述重點的時候，結構上會有 次重要 , 最重要的關係。而這種句法都是前面分詞構句鋪陳，帶出後面主題的狀況。

Excited about the prospects of harnessing Niagara Falls to produce electric power, Nikola Tesla, the inventor of alternating current, predicted in the mid-1980's that electricity generated at Niagara would one day power the streetcars of London and the streetlights of Paris.

不論是GMAT的修辭題目，到the Economist的文章等句子的確有這樣的規則。
因此，即使D後面使用to product， 仍然是C比較好，因為點得出重點。

(D) excite的用法不對 sb be excited about sth 不等於 sb excite about sth
