标题: 指代一致的规则 OG13 第8题
In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the
Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for
cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled bv
tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so
that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus
was growing on the walls.
(A) due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which
raised its humidityto such levels so that salt
from the stone was crystallizing
(B) due to moisture that tourists had exhaled,
thereby raising its humidity to such levels that
salt from the stone would crystallize
(C) because tourists were exhaling moisture, which
had raised the humidity within them to levels
such that salt from the stone would crystallize
(D) because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists
raising the humidity withinthem to levels so high
as to make the salt from the stone crystallize
(E) because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised
the humidity within them to such levels that salt
from the stone was crystallizing



此题,C D E选项全都出现them,怎么解释中就说只有E的是清晰明了的。不是所以的指代都是就近指代吗?E的为什么会没有指代tourists的嫌疑?
C The pronoun them seems to referto tourists,
which is nonsensical; the entire construction
is awkward and wordy; would crystallize is
not parallelto wasgrowing.
D Once again, them seems to refer to tourists;
the entire construction is awkward, wordy,
and ambiguous; crystallize is not parallel to
wasgrowing.
E Correct. The causalsequence is clear, and
them clearly refers to chambers.

愚见哈~

c because后跟的句子主语是tourists,将逻辑重心放在了tourists上,them很容易被理解为指代tourists;
d raising 紧跟在这里很容易被误解为是tourists的修饰语而不是moisture的,them的指代很模糊;
不知道对不对~
杀鸡共勉!

我们不妨从句子结构来理解一下,
C选项中which had raised the humidity within them 是定语从句,修饰moisture,层级关系中处在because 状语从句的下一层,因此them应指代because 状语从句的名词,所以根据逻辑关系不难看出them对应的是tourists。
D选项中,raising the humidity withinthem 也是定语作用,修饰了tourists,在层级中是that was exhaled by tourists定语从句下一层,因此只能对应这个从句的唯一的名词 tourists。
E选项,because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised
the humidity within them是主句的状语从句,因此 them对应了主句的名词,再根据逻辑意思也就不难看出them对应了主语chambers.
