E、in the United States, the caffeine intake of children in various age groups ranges from 36 to 58 percent of that consumed by the average adult
答案 B
解析 In a study quantifying caffeine intake averages among children in the United States, an adjustment in the children’s caffeine-intake averages was made for body weight, which varies with age group.
A    In this choice, the modifying phrase adjusted for body weight is incorrectly applied to children.
B    Correct. The modifying phrase adjusted for body weight correctly applies to the caffeine intake of children of various age groups. Furthermore, the caffeine intake of children is correctly compared with the average amount consumed by adults.
C    In this choice, the modifying phrase adjusted for body weight is incorrectly applied to various age groups of children.
D    In this choice, the modifying phrase adjusted for body weight is incorrectly applied to children of various age groups.
E    The word that in the phrase of that consumed by the average adult actually refers to caffeine intake. This creates a nonsensical redundancy suggesting that the caffeine intake itself is what is consumed.
The correct answer is B.
