标题: 885 secB-17
17.    During the first nine months of 1979, textbook publishers incurred substantial costs for creating products that, due to a decline in public funding for instructional material, never were sold.
(A) funding for instructional material, never were
(B) funding for instructional material, never was
(C) funding, the instructional material, was never
(D) funding for instructional material, the products were never
(E) funding, they were never
答案是A。我是用排除法做的,BCDE都可以很清楚排除掉,可是总感觉A中 never were的用法别扭。请问是never were sold还是were never sold?可以用never were吗?

never were是一种强调的表示方式吧!
这题的思路或许是这样的,
首先难到完整从句被一个due to 界词引入的词组化开,立刻跳过找后句动词,
前头products为复数,优先找复数动词,删除BC
E 中,发现they可以指products又可以指publishers,疑词不用,去!
D 中,that 从句成名词性,但主词却与that前重复,可能是一种避免模糊的写法,也可能是坠字,保留。
A 中,删除D中的 the products,但从句意中估出were sold的是物,不会是人,因此判断that已靠近products,不需再重复了!选A。
