关于修饰的难题

The record of the past is always incomplete, and the historian who writes about it inevatibly reflects the preoccupations of their own time.

A the historian who writes about it inevatibly reflects

B the historian writing about it will inevitably reflect

C a historian writing about it inevitably reflects

D writing about it, it is inevitable for historians to reflect

E historians in writing about it inevitably reflect

答案是E,可这算什么结构啊?in writing 修饰historians?

这里考的是主语：表示无特定指向的一类人，用名词复数，且不加冠词

in writing about it算是一种简写，因为是修饰主语，所以在这里不会引起歧义。表忘了gmat公理：简洁有效

我选成A了,因为我考虑的是:

--and出现,因此and前后的句子保持平行,the historian who writes about it 与 The record of the past 保持大平行;

--刚才看2楼的解释,historians in writing about it 更简洁；

--是否还有一个小平行的问题，我做时候没考虑到：The record of the past 是 “名词+介词(of)”结构，如果选择一个同样结构的句子会更对称，而E选项的historians in writing about it 即是“名词+介词 (in)”结构，所以E 是更佳答案。

and这里只是连接词，用来连接两句逻辑意思上连贯的独立句子，不是所有的and都是平行结构

没有这个小平行，因为是相互独立的句子

 shero，谢谢你的提醒。

另外：没看到，文章后面用了their。

再次感谢，祝考试顺利！

我还早呢 也祝你顺利
