[讨论]prep107

107. The United States will be affected by whether Taiwan develops a closer relationship with mainland China or preserves the status quo, since the island nation is the United States’ seventh-largest trading partner.

A. The United States will be affected by whether Taiwan develops a closer relationship with mainland China or preserves the status quo

B. Whether or not Taiwan develops a closer relationship with mainland China or preserves the status quo affecting the United States
            

C. Whether or not Taiwan develops a closer relationship with mainland China or the status quo is preserved, it will affect the United States

D. It affects the United States whether Taiwan will develop a closer relationship with mainland China or preserves the status quo

E. It affects the United States whether or not Taiwan will develop a closer relationship with mainland China or preserve the status quo

A: correct

B: 没有谓语

C: 两个句子并列没有联词

D: whether … or … 不平行

E: it affects … 不是主语从句的用法

c选项whether不是连词吗？怎么说c没有连词，还有我认为c是因为有 it will affect the United States中的it，指代不清，不知道它指哪个

我认为whether ..or..可看成是一种选择“选A或B”，名词，所以可以做by的宾语，或者是主语从句的主语

但是whether or not就是连词，表示“无论怎么样，都”，引导让步状语从句，所以“两个句子并列没有连词”这个解释错了
