1.        Although fruit can no longer grow once it is picked, it continues for some time to respire, taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide, similar to the way human beings breathe.

(A) similar to the way human beings breathe

(B) similarly to human beings who are breathing

(C) just like the breathing of human beings

(D) as human beings when breathing（E）

(E) just as human beings do when they breathe

请问A为什么不对啊

himba

形容词做短语只能修饰就近的名词。在这个地方只能修饰dioxide，逻辑不对。 A B are outlike做介词，也只能修饰就近名词 C outas 要么做介词，只能当in capacity of讲，这里讲不通。

E 对，做状语修饰真个句子。

is answer E?
A: "similar to the way human beings breathe" 修饰什么呢? 修饰

fruit?不对, fruit本身不能和the way human beings breathe比较. 修饰

respire?不对, respire是动词, similar是形容词.

所以A是hanging modifier.
