GWD7-Q33:

The health benefits of tea have been the subject of much research; in addition to its possibilities for preventing and inhibiting some forms of cancer, the brewed leaves of Camellia sinensis may also play a role in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

A.in addition to its possibilities for preventing and inhibiting

B.in addition to its possibilities to prevent or inhibit

C.besides the possibility that it prevents and inhibits

D.besides the possible preventing and inhibiting of

E.besides possibly preventing or inhibiting

答案是E
问题：解析说D中possible不如possibly好。。为什么呢？preventing在这里是简单动名词啊应该看成名词 形容词来修饰名词有何不妥？

个人认为，碰到这种状语表达，最实用的方法是看状语与主语的关系

就是吧句子主语代入状语中，看是否正确

the brewed leaves the possible preventing and inhibiting of（这里是两个名词性短语，毫无关系）

the brewed leaves possibly preventing or inhibiting （可以组成主谓结构）

状语是要修饰主语，所以状语的逻辑主语必须是主语，或者在比较结构中，两者具有可比性。

我明白你意思~这个角度看确实如你所说
刚才我又查了查笔记：介词+doing,S V O 结构中，要考虑逻辑主语。从这个角度看E是正确的 而D的表达相对于E来说，比较wordy
受教啦

我觉得D：besides the possible preventing and inhibiting of，不是wordy的问题，看下那本manhattan的SC书，the ~ing 的形式是gurend的名词结构， possible也是作为adj来修饰名词the preventing/ the inhibiting of， 根据这个M的语法，一般都是verb形式比Noun形式的要好，且E的逻辑主语一致，所以E好于D

stevenckguo

你说的是M相关语法条目中的第一条吧？M说动词优于动作名词，the doing是复杂动名词。不过你的意思我明白，我的意思就是名词形式相对于动词来说更wordy，应优先用动词~

这个E好于D   语法笔记上说过还有就是preventing or inhibiting  表示

的是同种意思的不同程度  只能用or 不能用and~

选项中的doing是跟着后面的句子中的play  a role in 来的，所以考察了play a role in + doing的结构。故D可以排除。
