这个to是对应前面的appear，而when the bag inflated只是插入语

First of all, we need to focus on the question's meaning. What made terrified passengers think the car was on fire? The burst of smoke or the bag. It cannot the bag, only the burst of smoke makes sense. Second, we use a parallel structure [X would appear ....and make Y do something.....] or an intention structure [X would appear to make Y do something...] C and D are debatable choices. Now, we will look at them closely. If we use parallel structure like D: " .........a safer air bag, which eliminated the possibility that a burst of smoke would appear.......and make.........." ==> "appear" and "make" are parallel. Does it make sense? Nope, it's like the smoke appeared and then it made something else to terrify a passenger. The intended meaning is that the appearance of the smoke itself made passengers terrified. Similar example: A ghost appeared and made us terrified. the sentence does not covey the intention of a ghost's appearance. To convey the intention, we should use the idiom "X would appear to make Y do something" Hence, E is correct

a safer air bag eliminated the possibility （that。。。） to make an already terrified passenger think the car was on fire. the possibility to do sth 并不意味着 to do 表目的

to make 表目的，逻辑意思错误

to make表目的 the bag inflated 为了让乘客认为车着火 意思不合理

E. To make 表示目的，句子的意思：包膨胀为了让乘客恐慌，逻辑语义不正确。

to make 改变了原句的意义，对于改变原文句意的不要急着选

重要的是要理解题目意思： new items包括 a safer bag , which 消除了（somke appear 然后让passenger以为车子着火了）的可能性。 当看到to make的时候，不要轻易否定，要仔细想想这个不定式修饰的是什么动作。理解了这个句意就理解了。

appear to make 表结果 不看中间的插入语

"make an already terrified passenger think the car was on fire" has to be the result of " a burst of smoke would appear when the bag Inflated to make an already terrified passenger think the car was on fire." therefore "make" can't be parallel with "inflate". only inflated to make is appropriate here.

that smoke would appear( time状语) to make....

to do，做appear 的补语，属于make那类的用法
