Despite its covering the entire planet, Earth has a crust that is not seamless or stationary, rather it is fragmented into mobile semirigid plates.
(A) Despite its covering the entire planet, Earth has a crust that is not seamless or stationary, rather it is
(B) Despite the fact that it covers the entire planet, Earth’s crust is neither seamless nor is it stationary, but is
(C) Despite covering the entire planet, Earth’s crust is neither seamless nor is it stationary, but rather
(D) Although it covers the entire planet, Earth’s crust is neither seamless nor stationary, but rather
(E) Although covering the entire planet, Earth has a crust that is not seamless or stationary, but
这个题目答案是D,其他选项我没有异议,关于A有个人观点,希望大家讨论理解的是否正确:
despite后面只能加名词形式,即despite n.或despite n. modifier。
这里A选项的despite its covering..在不考虑其逻辑关系的情况下,是不是可以考虑为despite n. modifier的形式?所以乍一看还是可以保留,但是根据逻辑关系,its指代earth,但并不清楚具体是its什么,所以逻辑错误,选项排除
今天在所千行的时候发现despite doing的形式并不完全错误,有上述的两种情况,我想问我这个题A选项despite its covering在不考虑逻辑和语义的情况下的理解是正确的嘛?

我是这么觉得的,首先,sb's doing 或者sth's doing 一般来说在GMAT中是不适当的用法,要尽量排除
其次,是"crust" covers the entire planet, 而不是earth,所以逗号后面第一个出现的词,也就是主句的主语必须是crust,而不是A选项的earth。
还有,rather后面的It有歧义,是代指earth还是crust呢? 作者: cherrytxt 时间: 2013-12-10 17:25
