大全561(sectionb-11)没人问过

8.     One pervasive theory explains the introduction of breakfast cereals in the early 1900s as a result of the growing number of automobiles, which led to a decline in horse ownership and a subsequent grain glut; by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored.

(A) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored被动语态不好且persuading 不能做market equilibrium的agent

(B) persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium

(C) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, it restored market equilibrium

it指代不清

(D) the persuasion of people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium（B）

(E) market equilibrium was restored when people were persuaded to eat former horse feed被动语态不好,且没有agent来引发restore的动作

我错选了d.做的时候就犹豫分词做主语好还是其名词形式做主语好

看来是分词哈

nn帮忙确认一下哈

the persuasion of people to eat what had previously :

awkward；

恩~~~和我刚才一贴里面的问题有点儿象~~~

这里的问题不是分词做主语好还是其名词形式做主语好

而是 the persuasion of people to do表示人们对做...的劝说

persuading people to do表示劝说人们做...~~~两个动作的发出者是不一样的~~~

显然在这里~~~后者的含义更符合原文的逻辑一些~~~
