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
我有疑问的点是对于cd两个选项 首先贴一下og解释: (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.
然后是疑问 c选项:答案里只提到了being时态错误,可是我认为在独立主格结构里需要的是一个noun+剩下的结构,可是在我的认知当中itself是反身代词,并不能构成名词。且e选项中将being换成了having been的完成时态,答案中只提到了earlier的错误,那是否就表明了og认为itself可做名词使用 d选项:我自己做的时候只认为havig 的ving有问题,没有仔细看后面的结构,og上的解释不是太看得懂,求大神给解释一下
thx
