标题: OG12-3 请教D选项
原题如下····
3. Although various eighteenth- and nineteenth-century
American poets had professed an interest in
Native American poetry and had pretended to imitate
Native American forms in their own works, until almost
1900, scholars and critics did not begin seriously to
study traditional Native American poetry in native
languages.
(A) until almost 1900, scholars and critics did not
begin seriously to study
(B) until almost 1900 scholars and critics had not
begun seriously studying
(C) not until almost 1900 were scholars and critics
to begin seriously to study
(D) it was not almost until 1900 when scholars and
critics began to seriously study
(E) it was not until almost 1900 that scholars and
critics seriously began studying
Verb form; Rhetorical construction
Th e past-perfect verbs had professed and had
pretended designate a time (eighteenth and
nineteenth century) earlier than simple past tense,
so the second clause, explaining what happened
around 1900, must use the past tense. Th e
placement of the phrase until almost 1900 at the
beginning of the second clause is confusing. Does
it refer back to the fi rst verb or forward to the
next verb?
A Th e tenses are fi ne in this version, but the
placement of until almost 1900 is
problematic.
B Th e tense of the second clause needs to be
simple past, not past perfect.
C Th e sequence of infi nitives (to begin seriously
to study) is awkward and wordy.
D Not almost until is a nonsensical sequence of
modifi ers.
E Correct. Th e phrase not until almost 1900 is
properly placed, and the verb in the main
clause is in the simple past tense.
The correct answer is E.

请教各位，D选项的解释说：“Not almost until”  is a nonsensical sequence of
modifiers.请问Not almost until 哪里错了～～～谢谢各位！

首先，这位同学下次可以排一下版么？你原来的帖子没法看啊


almost是应该修饰1900的，是说“到了差不多1900年的时候”的意思。但中文里面，我们经常说“快到1900年的时候“，给人的感觉好像这个almost是修饰”到“的，这就是中英文的差异了。

但是这道题再次让我陷入了如何把各种错误的轻重排序的困惑中，比如：两个不定式联用的错误和修饰语位置不当，
