Under high pressure and intense heat, graphite, the most stable form of pure carbon, changes into the substance commonly referred to as diamond and remaining this way whether or not the heat and pressure are removed.
remaining this way whether or not
remaining like that even as
remaining as such whether or not
remains in this way although
remains thus even when
The official answer is d. But I think it should be E. First of all, "thus" is correctly used in E and more concise than "in this way". Besides, "Even when " is more precise than "although"

first,E's meaning is wrong
second,“remain” is a vi.
third,if using "thus even when",it should be followed another sentence,otherwise the whole sentence is illogical

D 很对啊。 D和E项的主要区别我觉得在于意思上有差异，E里 even when 有表示假设的意思，而D的although。。。表示after 石墨转变为钻石，heat and pressure is removed 这个事实 。

我查了merrian webster. thus is an adverb and means in this manner/way.
那個thus是什麼意思呢? 如果說是in this way/manner Under high pressure and intense heat, graphite, the most stable form of pure carbon, changes into diamond and remains diamond in this way/manner even when the heat and pressure are taken away. 好像不對, 因為句子好像沒有提出or隱含任何的way/manner 還是我對in this manner的意思理解錯了? 作者: jackieli007 时间: 2009-8-4 20:14
