39. For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment, a method to protect warriors against enemy arrows and spears.
(A)a method to protect
(B)as a method protecting
(C)protecting
(D)as a protection of
(E)to protect
问题：1、a method 只能用of doing不能加 to do
      2、OG解释Choices A and B awkwardly use the singular word method to refer to items of military equipment rather than to the use of such items
      但我的理解是文中用“animal-hide shields with wooden frames ”强调的是这个“item”而非“use”

OG的意思就是说METHOD不可以去指代那个“东东”（ITEM）呀

只有"...用法"才可以称为方法,

*****既然这里是指ITEMS,所以不能用METHOD;
另外我觉得 method to do 是可以的(不确定)
