43. In the minds of many people living in England, before Australia was Australia, it was the antipodes, the
opposite pole to civilization, an obscure and unimaginable place that was considered the end of the world.
(A) before Australia was Australia, it was the antipodes
(B) before there was Australia, it was the antipodes
(C) it was the antipodes that was Australia
(D) Australia was what was the antipodes
(E) Australia was what had been known as the antipodes

为什么说选项DEdistort the original meaning,看了og提问总结还是不明白．

og解释如下:

D is imprecise in suggesting that australia was considered the antipodes after it became australia. E similarly distorts the original meaning.

thanks!!

now no puzzle will disturb me any more!!

C: substituting Australia for it produces a nonsensical statement.
