12. The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival’s month.
(A) world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival’s month
(B) world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival’s month
(C) world when they proclaimed a sacred truce for the festival month
(D) world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival（C）
(E) world by proclamation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival
C的when时间状语从句很不方便修饰help，主句唯一的动词，同时they如楼主所言有歧义之嫌；proclaim a sacred truce for the festival month实际上说这个truce只是for the month，似乎扭曲原意（原意应该是，在这个聚会期间truce被达成）。
D唯一的问题就是被动——但不算是致命错误
1. Olympic Games 是单数，不是复数。
C. they 指代 states
2. C,D 表达的意思不同
C. proclaim a truce For the festival
为了 festival 而 proclaim a truce，
目的明确，就是为了festival才休兵的 （e.g.仅在festival期间休兵)
D. for a truce was claimed during the festival
在 festival 期间休战 （e.g.festival 30天，休兵3天吧）
btw, OG doesn't promote 'for' as a reasoning conj.
本题的考点应该是搞清楚到底是谁“proclaime the truce”！！
根据“pugnacious states ”---好斗的城邦，当然停战协议是由stateds 发出的,所以：
A "truce was proclaimed" 没有明确动作的发出者
B "proclaiming"由主语olympic games发出（另：the Olympic Games应该是单数）
C " when they proclaimed a truce" 明确是states 提出,所以为正确答案
D 同A
E " help sb by proclaimation" 由主语olympic games发出
agree with joe11
LES已经回答过这题了，关键是festival month修饰谁，proclaim还是truth.
D选项表示的是proclaim了整个festival month，而不是truth持续整个festival month
12. The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival’s month.
(A) world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival’s month
(B) world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival’s month
(C) world when they proclaimed a sacred truce for the festival month
(D) world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival（C）
(E) world by proclamation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival
我理解c的真正意思为：当他们（states）为the festival month宣布停战协定时，奥运会促进了他们之间的和平。奥运会本身并不help to keep peace，只有当他们宣布了停战协定之后，奥运会才help to keep peace。因此，只有c的表达才能体现这一点。
而d的表达意味着：因为停战协定在奥运会期间被宣布，所以奥运会促进了和平。表达的是一种因果关系，而事实上题目原意是要表达一种条件关系。
拙见。请大家继续探讨。
choose c
proclaim 动作发起者应该是states不是the olypic game
b的逻辑主语变成了the olypic game
d for+句子好像gmac很不喜欢这样的吧
