In 1850, Lucretia Mott published her Discourse on Women, "arguing in a treatise for women to have equal political and legal riights "and for for changes in the married women's property laws.
A.arguing in a treatise for women to have equal political and legal rights.
E.a treatise that argued for equal political and legal rights for women.

正确答案选E，谁能告诉我为什么A错啊？arguing作为现在分词修饰 Discourse 不可以吗？先谢谢了！！！

Lucretia Mott published her Discourse on Women, arguing in a

treatise
一般分词修饰句子的逻辑主语，在这个句子中就是Lucretia Mott, 那就是

Lucretia Mott arguing in a treatise。。。所以使得原句看起来成为了

Lucretia Mott published her... and Lucretia Mott arguing in a

treatise。。。显得Discourse on Women与treatise不是一个东西，但其实他

俩是一个东西。所以这样会使句子显得啰嗦且confusing。
published her Discourse on Women，a treatise arguing。。。很明显同为

名词的a treatise在逗号之后就是指向Discourse on Women（做同位语还是什

么的我就不敢乱说了），然后 a treatise arguing就必然指Discourse on

Women arguing了，这样不会歧义。
希望对你有帮助

for sb. to do 这种形式不好 容易引起歧义 to do有可能修饰 argue 的

    In 1850 Lucretia Mott published her Discourse on Women, arguing in a treatise for women to have equal political and legal rights and for changes in the married women's property laws.

在A中，arguing for这个现在分词的伴随动作的主语不是Discourse而是Lucretia Mott。
A的错误在于：
1. women to have equal political and legal riights的不定式和changes in the married women's property laws名词短语不对称
2. a treatise这个Discourse on Women的同位语，如果像A一样，不提出来，那就是“LM出版了一个书或者文章，在一个论文里主张。。。。。”，这就罗嗦了，而且又让人搞不清楚这个论文和Discourse的关系。
