(A) laws, an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and (B) laws, which was an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and it is (C) laws, namely, it was an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and (D) laws, an observation about electric current first made in 1845, it is (E) laws that was an observation about electric current, first made in 1845, and is Which 为何时代不明?That 修饰 laws为什么?按照Manhattan 书中说的就近修饰原则的例外中不是修饰one 么? 作者: bobdog159 时间: 2012-4-15 10:47
楼主要看which 和 that 后面定语从句的内容。an observation about electric current 是 Kirchhoff‘s laws的内容而不是patten的内容,所以 E选项 that一定是修饰 laws的而不是patent
B选项同理,which从句修饰laws 但是竟然有了单数 was 使得which就有指代patent的嫌疑。所以whcih指代不清作者: wangxinlin 时间: 2012-4-15 22:57
