og12 sc-24句子中that指代问题，NN们过来看看~！

24.  In
virtually
all types of tissue in every animal species,
dioxin
induces the production of enzymes that are the
organism’s trying to metabolize, or render harmless,
the chemical that is irritating it.
(A)  trying to metabolize, or render harmless, the
chemical that is irritating it
(B)  trying that it metabolize, or render harmless,
the chemical irritant
(C)  attempt to try to metabolize, or render
harmless, such a chemical irritant
(D)  attempt to try and metabolize, or render
harmless, the chemical irritating it
(E)  attempt to metabolize, or render harmless, the
chemical irritant


一开始看这题的时候很困惑不知道到底讲什么，仔细分析看到the production of enzymes that are the
organism’s attempt这里发现由于are与enzymes单复数应该that是指代enzymes，但出现了两个问题：1.如果 A of B 中AB都是单数形式，比如 production of enzyme that is the organism's attempt，这里的that到底指代的是什么呢，之前有看which,that指代都可以跳过noun modifier指代，这里可不可以跳过呢？
2.enzymes are the organism's attempt不是怪怪的吗？= =   酶是有机体的尝试？？

把句子看完，enzymes that are the organism’s  attempt to

metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritant

意思是说 酶==>试图分解或化解化学刺激物。

这里attempt是名词，而且是应该将其和【organism's attempt】结合起来

看，才能得到正确的语义。

谢谢bat！但是这里我还是理解不能...本人语法不太好..这里 enzymes that are the organism's attempt to do 不是还是个主系表结构A are B吗, 为什么是enzymes试图分解...的意思呢~

还有个问题就是production of enzymes that are如果换成production of enzyme that is会不会有指代歧义？就是A of B that这样的话，that会指代歧义吗~谢谢！
