Q15:
Concerns about public health led to the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate sewer systems to serve metropolitan Boston.

A. Concerns about public health led to the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate sewer systems to serve
B. Concerns about public health have led to the construction of three separate sewer systems between 1876 and 1904 to serve
C. Concerns about public health have led between 1876 and 1904 to the construction of three separate sewer systems for serving
D. There were concerns about public health leading to the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate sewer systems serving
E. There were concerns leading between 1876 and 1904 to the construction of three separate sewer systems for serving

answer : A

請問B是不是只有時態錯誤呢?

比較兩種寫法:
A.the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate sewer systems
B. the construction of three separate sewer systems between 1876 and 1904
兩者都對嗎??

先說聲感激了

[Behemoth]

b的between 1876 and 1904 有修飾語誤置之嫌

[Calvin]

I agree with Behemoth!

" between 1876 and 1904 " in choice B could modify either the "construction" or inifnitives phrase " to serve ". Besides tense error, B is ambiguous !

open to discuss !

3.have lead to 時態錯誤
4.between 1876 and 1904, 修飾 construction

我可以強烈建議這個方法少用
剛開始我也是照莫老說的~
但後來發現這樣做太過草率
現在已經強迫自己要把這些選項考慮進去
建議戰友們要在最後難以作抉擇~都挑不出錯誤時~

再用這招....

那Concerns about public health led to the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate sewer systems to serve metropolitan Boston.

粗體部份可否還原為
the construction which was between 1876 adn 1904 of thee separate sewer systems
而紅字部份是被省略呢？！

[dibert8]

between 1876 and 1904 是介係詞片語,直接修飾 construction
