(A) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored (B) persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium (C) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, it restored market equilibrium (D) the persuasion of people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium (E) market equilibrium was restored when people were persuaded to eat former horse feed
正确答案：B。可是，我认为选E可能更合适些。因为，E用了一个主从复合句，使得句意更完整，更合逻辑（尽管是被动态）。我的理解：从逻辑，句意上，应该是the effects of persuading, 而不是persuading people to...这个动作本身，restore the market equilirum。
