标题: 885 section B-8
8. One pervasive theory explains the introduction of breakfast cereals in the early 1900s as a result of the growing number of automobiles, which led to a decline in horse ownership and a subsequent grain glut; by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored.
(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

又不理解B为什么是答案了， persuading 的发起者是谁呢？？后半句话怎么和前半句连起来呢？？这句话的意思怎么理解不通？

E答案错在哪里？是因为the awkward passive voice吗？

看到 ; 把他当and用，后面应该是完整的句子。
AC 是著名的run-on ，先删。
大致了解一下句意：有种理论要说明引进麦片早餐后的结果
这结果是因为汽车市场好，马市坏，马吃的谷物过剩了。
BDE都要说明这理论是啥。
E 市场均衡是要人去吃马吃的。没有说明理论，不合理。去。
BD 鼓吹人们吃以前给马吃的，而使重新恢复市场均衡。合理！比。
B theory = persuasion
D theory = persuading …整件事。好！

persuading 不是分词是动名词在这里就做主语.

不过我也选的E, 现在看起来应该是被动的问题

我来翻译试试：有理论将1900s燕麦早餐的引进解释为运输车辆的增长，这个增长导致了马车运输的减少和谷类的过量供应；说服人们吃以前由马车运输提供的早餐食品可以恢复市场供求平衡。

就是说以前马车运输的早餐不是燕麦（假如是蛋糕）,汽车运的是燕麦。如果人们现在不吃新引进的燕麦而还是吃以前马车运输的蛋糕，那么grain的需求会增加（注意，a subsequent grain glut是因为人们不吃了，不是因为供给增多了；就是说grain的供给没怎么变，只是因为人们不吃它，需求减少，相对来说它就glut了）那么市场供给就恢复平衡啦！所以persuading没有具体的发起者，这是英语里常见的啊。

好累……也不知道对不对……

大家拍啊！

你的翻译有点问题.我觉得是因为汽车增多了,那么马车的owner就少了,以前用来喂马的燕麦没马车的owner来买.那就gult了.所以说说服人来吃.就可以恢复了.不是像你所说的燕麦是由马车运输,而是说燕麦以前是用来喂马的.马少了,燕麦就没显得多了,然后人来吃燕麦.市场就平衡了.....

我的理解.欢迎来拍

我开始也选的E……
后来听说是主动优先原则，就剩BD，D意思错了，就B了~
至于啥语法，本人觉得到时候也没时间去分析……不如就用这个简便的~

e当中的former horse feed很含糊，含义不明确。
by doing的开头，要求后面的逻辑主语一致，用it不妥。
d的结构太复杂 n. of ... to do...确实没有b来的好。
我觉得b最好。persuading 表示的是一种状态，结果，动名词形式。
