比如，我给你举个例子，这道题目我做错了。
695.By 1940, the pilot Jacqueline Cochran held seventeen official national and international speed records, and she earned them at a time when aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be of dangerously experimental design.
A. and she earned them at a time when aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be
B. earning them at a time that aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be
C. earning these at a time whereaviation was still so new that many of the planes she flew were
D. earned at a time in which aviation was still so new such that many of the planes she flew were
E. earned at a time when aviation was still so new that many of the planes she flew were
这道题目，第一看句子结构，第二看意思。这个句子是在说，飞行员得到了17个奖项的殊荣，而当时飞机的设计非常具有实验危险性以及非常新，原句就是想表达这个意思，我第一次错误得选择了选项B。
A：表达啰嗦，and she earned，完全可以用earning来表达，于是我就去找earning的答案了。 B：OG的答案解释写得很有意思，OG说，用earning是来修饰飞行员的，但是因为紧接在records后面，跳跃修饰不好（但是语法上是可以的），还有应该使用so that表达简洁。 C：earning的错误如选项B，但是这个错误不是主要的，主要的错误在 a time不能用where修饰，只能说 a time when。 D：earned修饰records，就近修饰，表示赞赏，但是后半句应该使用so that表达简洁，最后，a time不能用in which修饰，要a time when。 E：earned修饰records，也使用了so that的表达，所以是正确答案。 OG写得非常明确 The word earned is close to the noun it modifies, speed records. This version uses the clearest expression of causal relationship: so new that many X were Y
这个题目，如果按照我原先去找earning为答案，就是入了套，就没注意后面so that的问题，你说B和E，语法上都是正确的，但是一个用了so that，一个就近修饰，一个没有，这看上去在考察语法，其实是在考察逻辑和意思。错误答案，不会只错一个地方。
