2)Although based it on feudal models, the colony of Pennsylvania developed a reputation for a progressive political and social outlook.

progressvie political 显然不对,但based it on 也觉的不妥, it 代表谁呢?

哭---苦

在新东方的答案上1) D 2) progressive political 错,到底正确答案应该是什么?

1、C，虽然觉得有些问题，是不是题目的问题？仅通过[is] constant 即可排除A、B、D

2、A，BASED 已经是过去分词了，怎么会有宾语？

1. even though C appears clumsy, the syntax is correct. whose refers to points and the clause can be converted to "the sum of distances of all points from two fixed points is constant", which is quite acceptable.

1. c the sum of whose distances = whose distances's sum 这里是将sum提前，用of连接，正确。

2. 个人以为是A。如果是被动，it明显的多余。progressive, political, social 同时修饰outlook好像也没什么不可以。

大家讨论！

同意楼上观点，2。答案勿庸置疑应该是A。
但1。的确让人费解，我得到的答案是B，纵然B在四个选项中是最可能的，代入句子中我还是看不太懂。
