160、has begun almost two decades ago 时态的错误,通常two decades ago 不使用现在完成时,另外HAS BEGUN也是不好的表达方式--一直在开始,到现在还在开始。

175、WHILE表示转折,这里有转折的意思,而ALTHOUGH表示让步,不同的语气,所以WHILE更优。另外一个很暗的错误是IT的指代,在前面IT指代Listeria bacterium ,而A中IT指代listeriosis,出现了多重指代问题。代词指代的时候一定要小心确认。

160、我也觉得A中begun的修饰语有歧义,但E中的时态错误会更明显!
        也许这还符合GMAT RC思路,比较选择吧!

175、A中的it产生歧义,前面已经有it指代the Listeria bacterium ,同一个句子中的同一代词指代同一个对象,A中的it还是指代the Listeria bacterium ,不符合逻辑意思。
