20. GWD28-Q20:

In the1820’s, anthracite coalfields opened in eastern Pennsylvania, and whencanals and eventually railroads reached into the region, there were substantialsupplies of coal that was exported to the nation’s growing mills, forges,factories, and railways.

A. when canals and eventually railroads reachedinto the region, there were substantial supplies of coal that was

B. once canals and eventually railroadsreaching into the region, there were substantial supplies of coal having been

C. with canals and eventually railroadsreaching into the region, there had been substantial supplies of coal

D. canals and eventually railroads reached intothe region, with substantial supplies of coal being

E. as canals and eventually railroads reachedinto the region, substantial supplies of coal were

这题答案选E，只要因为A 用了there be ，并且supplies of coal 是复数应用 that were。
但是昨天看版主的一个帖子http://forum.chasedream.com/foru ... B%E6%8C%87%E4%BB%A3
说that 跳跃还是就近指代主要看逻辑意思表达的需要，这里应该是coal被exported 而非supplies啊，那不是that修饰coal，并用was吗？

be动词肯定和主语的单复数一致，那么谁才是主语呢？
substantial supplies of coal 的中心词是哪个？是supplies 还是 coal？
这里跟that不that没关系，这是主谓一致的问题，不是代词指代的问题。建议复习主谓一致。

我没有在纠结that，现在的问题是，逻辑上出口的应该是coal而不是supplies。当语法和逻辑冲突的时候，应该以逻辑优先吧？
而且之前还看过一个帖子，A OF B，当A 从属于B 时，后面的修饰成分一般是修饰B 的。
以上两个原因都支持了coal为核心词，谓语动词用单数啊

先看整体在 and 并列结构上，考虑前后逻辑一致性。
前面讲煤场开了，后面and 并列的重心应该是：煤的供应的情况。（and 有时候含有先后顺序的意思）
考虑整个句子的重心合理性>单看句子修饰成分的逻辑合理性

不过照你说and的先后性，以及句子重心向后移，as（随着）好像更符合整个句子的逻辑，谢啦我钻牛角尖了。。

顶楼主一个~
语义优先~
that was在这里可以理解为修饰coal，我觉得所谓核心修饰的东西并非绝对，OG13有一个题插入语也是修饰A of B结构中的B~

just understand English language is a awful one with so many exceptions; therefore, don't split any choice until you find the vital fallacy.
