C. reserves, as a result, they feared that other countries would

D. reserves, with fears raised that other countries would

求教解題思路,我怎麼看都覺得怪怪的..而我竟然選B..昏

这道题我选的是E，但是对C有点困惑。我下载的这套题C不是RUN-ON啊，因为中间那个符号是分号而不是逗号,这样不就是两个独立的句子了吗

C. reserves; as a result, they feared that other countries would

A Swiss government panel recommended that the country sell about half its gold reserves and this raised fears of other countries that do the same and inundate the market.

A. reserves and this raised fears of other countries that

     在 and 前需要逗号; Logic error:  不是 fear of other countries, 而是 fear other countries 的动作和结果。

B. reserves, which , as a result, raised fears of other countries that
   which不可指代前面整个句子，错；  -- springfield

C. reserves; as a result, they feared that other countries would

    as a result 该承接关系不对， they 可以指代 panel (集体名词)

D. reserves, with fears raised that other countries would

   with fears raised 不好

E. reserves, raising fears that other countries would

Agree on Joe's analysis on A,B,D.

C. I guess it's not necessarily just "they" who will fear. It could be other people's fears. That's why "they" is not suitable here.

Just FYR.

Agree with 'which不可指代前面整个句子', however, i still pick up B.

Reasons:

1. E would change the original meaning. Who will fear? Swiss or other countries?

   Original sentence: other countries' fear.

   E: Swiss's fear, not correct.

2. in B, 'which' does not necessarily reprsent the previous sentence, it could represent 'gold reserves'

NN, please more discuss, thanks.

我不是NN

E. reserves, raising fears that other countries would

fears前面有个修饰更好，没有也不是硬伤，从句意来看fears绝对不是other countries' fear，是指市场投资者的fear

B. reserves, which , as a result, raised fears of other countries that

大全里有fear of sth的例子，B的意思是“对这些国家的恐惧”，而不是“对这些国家采取相似行动的恐惧”
