D选项解析看不懂啊！！！好心人能解析一下吗？顺便其它选项也讲解一下~~~
694. In the seventh century B.C., the Roman alphabet was adapted from the Etruscan alphabet, which in turn had been adapted in the previous century from a western Greek alphabet, which itself had been adapted earlier in the same century from the Phoenician alphabet.

(A) which itself had been adapted earlier
(B) adapting itself earlier
(C) itself being adapted earlier
(D) having been earlier adapted itself
(E) earlier itself having been adapted

解析：答案选A
Rhetorical construction; Verb form; Logical
predication

This sentence describes a string of adaptations of
the alphabet, tracing back from the seventh century BC through two points in the eighth century BC. Because the latest of the three adaptations is temporally located in past tense, earlier adaptations should be located in the past perfect tense.

A Correct. This sentence is properly
constructed and uses the appropriate verb
forms for the relationships among the
events that it describes.
B It is unclear what the participial phrase
adapting itself earlier. . . refers to. The
present participle could be used for an
event that was simultaneous with(同时), or
part of, the event mentioned before
the underlined portion. However, it is
inappropriate for describing an event
that took place even earlier than the
seventh century BC, which has already
been designated in the sentence as past
tense. The reflexive form adapting itself is
nonsensical in this sentence.
C The present tense of the reflexive participial
phrase is inappropriate for describing an
event prior to the seventh century BC, given
that the seventh century BC has already
been designated in the sentence as past
tense.
D Without commas around itself, the pronoun
appears to be reflexive. The combination of
passive and reflexive then makes no sense.
If itself is intended simply for emphasis,
rather than as a reflexive pronoun, it would
be preferable, in this context, to set it off
with commas. But if it were intended in that
way, it would seem to refer to the Roman
alphabet, and the claim made in the sentence
would be confusing and nearly nonsensical.
This modifier is confusingly placed before
the designation of time (in the same century)
and source (from the Phoenician alphabet).
E The adverb earlier is misplaced before the
pronoun itself it should be immediately
before the phrase in the same century.
The correct answer is A.

D选项是说，没有逗号的话，itself是个反身代词，但反身单词又和被动矛盾，中文也非常好理解，”它被接受它自己“，看吧，读起来很奇怪。如果说是用来强调的话，要用逗号隔开，不然就会被误认为是反身代词。你说劳资就不隔开，having现在分词修饰的主语罗马字母表，但真正想要修饰的希腊字母表，于是变得很矛盾。
翻译了一下，如有不对，欢迎各位大佬指正。
