15题题目如下
The Iroquois were primarily planters, but supplementing their cultivation of maize, squash, and beans with fishing and hunting.
A. but supplementing
B. and had supplemented
C. and even though they supplemented
D. although they supplemented
E. but with supplementing
这道题的答案解释是这样说的
The participle supplementing would normally be expected to modify the first clause, describing or extending its meaning, but the logic of this setence demands a contrast, not an extension.
后面那个分句为什么是转折而不是延伸呢，我的理解怎么正好相反呢。
哪位牛人帮忙指教一二，谢谢了。
fishing and hunting 不是planter在做的事
所以用although來轉折
(雖然他們用fishing and hunting來補充他們的cultivation，他們主要還是planter）
The Iroquois were primarily planters, but supplementing their cultivation of maize, squash, and beans with fishing and hunting.
这句话意思是I主要是农民，虽然他们除了种植m,s,b，还打鱼和捕猎。不是很会翻译，大概是这个意思吧
之所以不是extension,因为后面的fishing and hunting与m,s,b不是一类的，如果都是农作物这个extension就没错了，但从农作物到打鱼和捕猎是两个完全不同的工种，句子要说的是虽然I 同时会打猎和补鱼，会做着种地范围外的事情，但还是农民，是一个转折。不知说清楚没。。。。。。。。。
这样子啊，明白了。谢谢两位。
挥着猪翅膀 说得也有道理 谢谢啊
