标题: 求助一道愈发题。。想来想去不明白TT。。。
Prep07—96
In some species of cricket, the number of chirps per minute used by the male for attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and they can in fact serve as an approximate thermometer.

(A) for attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and they can in fact serve
(B) for attracting females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, which can in fact serve
(C) in attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, in fact possibly serving
(D) to attract females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and it can in fact serve
(E) to attract females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, in fact possibly serving

答案是D。。。为什么E不好呢~~~想了老半天没想明白TT..求指点。。
而且D那个it也有指代不明。。

INg在逗号以后的从句修饰的是之前的整个句子，这里逗号后面的句子serve...的主语是temperature,不是整句话

原文用can，语气比possibly强，要保持

情态动词不能随意添加更改

我一开始也错了，到现在也没觉得servicing指代不清
我唯一的“强加”的解释就是in fact+possibly 有点不合使用习惯，语气不够鲜明

我做这题的时候，DE犹豫了一下，选了D，觉得D把they改成it就能对，没必要做大改动
而且分词放在句尾最好是裸奔...

我觉得是根据语义来选的这句话意思是说这种雄性动物发出c的数量与温度有关，因而这个数量可以用来测温度。E选项 serving是伴随状语意思好像在number of c产生的同时就被当作了温度计
D意思表达的是因为前面这样的事实这个number可以被用来做温度计

先不管逻辑语意应该怎样，serving是伴随前面动作的，但是前面有两个动作，rises and falls，那么到底是rise还是fall还是两个动作同时伴随有serving这个动作呢？而且把can改成possibly改变句意，愿意是说can可以,改了之后变成也许可以，显然不行。。再者approximate: 近似，大约，和possibly有语意上的重复。。最后根据语意理解，是说这个根据温度变化的number可以当成近似温度计，那么serve这个动作应该是the number发出的，而不应该是伴随rise和fall发生的

我明白了！！谢谢谢谢！！！！
一直觉得D的it可以指代temperature，也可以指代the number。。。指代不清。。。
不过E错的更离谱些。。。

remember that PRONOUN AMBIGUITY IS NOT AN ABSOLUTE RULE.

in general, eliminating on pronoun ambiguity is not a reliable thing to do, unless the ambiguous pronoun is specifically contrasted against a SPECIFIC NOUN in other choices. for instance, if you saw a split between "it" and "that number", then you could safely choose the latter. however, you should not generally eliminate choices just because they have ambiguous pronouns.
we have seen way too many correct answers with ambiguous pronouns to advise this sort of elimination anymore.
