C吧~根据意思应该是这样,而且conceive of ...as...搭配

支持E.
C:that修饰对象有歧义,it的指代不够清楚(radio/telephone?),it has become改变了原文意思。
原文要表达的是M对radio性质的理解与radio事实上的性质不同,表达一个构想与事实的对比。
所以E很好,结构平行,意思也对,what it is一点都不多余,它刚好表达了“事实”这一意思,如同原文的it is…所表达的含义一样。precisely the opposite是插入语。
E唯一缺陷是conceive of sth to be.
E、Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than
what it is, precisely the opposite, a tool for communicating with a large, public audience.
支持C,that 这种用法也见过,就是根据逻辑意思指代中心词
E的what it is觉得比较多余,而且,觉得同位语和前面的宾语用相同的结构才会产生歧义
支持C
that 修饰我认为没有歧义,句意上说private conversation 不可能被the telephone替代。而且that可以跳跃指代。
E、Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than what it is,
a tool for private conversation是谁的同位语?the radio 还是the telephone?句子意思应该the radio 的,但语法上好像应该是the telephone的
1)E的惟一缺陷是conceive of sth to be. 应该是conceive of sth as sth. 或者conceive to be sth。
2)E选项其他方面是没有问题的: a tool for private conversation确实从语法和逻辑上讲都是telephone的同位语。what it is用的也没错,表示现在的情况,其后面的a tool做what it is的同位语,和前面的同位语a tool构成功能相同的同位语;
3)C的问题就多了。首先,it指代不清;其次,could这个词加的绝对没必要,为什么不用would也不用might,英文里面这些词是有实际含义的;再次,两个句子不平行,这个在此虽不是大问题,但也不完美。
隔了几天重新看这题,对E中的what it is有了疑惑
what=the thing that,则what it is=the thing that it is,
那么that在定语从句中必作宾语,这样接后面的precisely the opposite是什么结构呢? precisely应该修饰is, 如果变成修饰the opposite,也该是precise
所以E该是Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than what is,既没有it又没有comma, 与后面才能连接other than what is precisely the opposite, ....

忽然又看到想起这个题,再分析下,呵呵。
在选项E中,precisely。。。其实是插入语,插入语的特点是可以不和句子中的任何成分构成语法关系。我可以插入besides,也可以插入totally the other way around,也可以插入I thought。所以precisely就是没有修饰对象,不对E构成任何伤害。
选项C,还是不喜欢。按说It吧,应该优先指代主句的主语,也可以就近指代了,但it指代的是中间的一个单数词,很有指代不行的嫌疑;再看insdead这个词,insdead了就应该构成对比吧,顺着读下来it就很容易指代到Morconi那去了;另外,insdead和precisely the opposite也重复了。
因此我还是支持E;虽然E的conceive of sth to be sth我没办法证明到底是对是错 (但我觉得to be的含义是清楚的,表达了当时的“未来状况”而非已存),但E的对仗只工整,比较之清晰,层次之鲜明,足以让我投它。
这个题目涉及到几乎语法的大部分考点,真的有价值。Open for continue disscussion。

C
理由:conceive ... as 固定用法,de不对;b中:but连接词,后面加完整的句子,which不能做主语,b错;a中,后半句的it应该指代radio,然而在主句中radio是被形容的成分,不能被指代;
c中的radio是句子的宾语,可以被指代
