(E) creatures of the seabed that were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, which possibly resulted from increasing
我的疑惑在A和B之间。这是我第二次做这道题,第二次我觉得凭语感我会选B。但是我不知道为什么A错。我看了有人说是suffer from错,但是我不觉得啊……我查了一下牛津进阶词典。里面的例句是Many companies are suffering from a shoratege of skilled staff. 感觉跟这个的suffering没什么区别。那么应该是possibly resulting from increasing错了?那这是哪错了?请高人赐教啊!
1) possibly resulting from increasing 可以看作状语修饰主句谓语,也可以看作定语修饰food supplies。 所以有歧义。而 as + 短语肯定是做状语修饰前面句子的谓语, 没有歧义。
2)increasing 表示动作现在还在进行。 用在这不是很合适。
但是不是很明白这里是否b的becasue 从句一定比a的suffer from好?!
