问题 An attempt to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, begun almost two decades ago, has been unsuccessful despite efforts by many important groups, including the National Organization for Women.

选项 A、to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, begun almost two decades ago,
B、begun almost two decades ago, for ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment
C、begun for ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment almost two decades ago
D、at ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment, begun almost two decades ago,
E、that has begun almost two decades ago to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment

答案A

解析 划线部分是attempt的两个修饰成分,在上一章讲过,attempt之后通常跟一不定式作定语,因此B、C、D中的for ratifying或at ratifying都不符合习惯表达。C中另一错误是:不知almost two decades ago是修饰begun还是修饰ratifying(若是修饰begun,离得太远;若修饰ratifying,理解不通)。E错在has begun与时间状语two decades ago不能搭配。选A。其中的动词不定式限定attempt,表示其目的;begun过去分词短语对an attempt做时间上的修饰。
