Now that so much data travels via light--i.e., is carried in glass fibers rather than by electrical current--one goal of semiconductor research is to develop a silicon chip that can transmit and receive light signals directly, a development that may one day lead to smaller, faster semiconductors.

(A) to develop a silicon chip that can transmit and receive light signals directly, a development that may one day lead
(B) to develop a silicon chip with the capability of transmitting and receiving light signals directly, which may one day lead
(C) the development of a silicon chip that has the capability of transmitting and receiving light signals directly, a development maybe one day leading
(D) developing a silicon chip that can transmit and receive light signals directly, which may one day lead
(E) developing a silicon chip with the ability to transmit and receive light signals directly, with this development maybe one day leading

Ans A

請問
A says: to develop .... [an action], a development that..... [同位語]
C says: the development .... [a noun], a developmentthat....[同位語]
in C, apposition uses a development as a noun to describe "the development" as a noun
why this is no better than (in A) using a noun to describe an action?

(A) to develop a silicon chip that can transmit and receive light signals directly, a development that may one day lead

(C) the development of a silicon chip that has the capability of transmitting and receiving light signals directly, a development maybe one day leading

我認為A比C好主要不在於"to develop"與"the development"的差異
是其他的兩個錯誤
第一個是藍色部分,在表述能力時,用can會比較簡潔
另外是紅色的部分,may當助動詞才有假設法的功能,但maybe是副詞,則改變句意了

[Kal-El]

A: to develop表目的
C:development表狀態
主詞是goal~似乎用to develop好些

歡迎指教~

(A)後面的同位語應該是形容前面的one goal..所以一樣是用N形容N。
