whether..or..可否接两句句子？大全-12

• 1.        A little under a million years ago, the briny waters of the Baltic Sea began flooding into the cold North Atlantic: geologists are still debating whether the flood was gradual or created a cataclysm.

  (A) whether the flood was gradual or created a cataclysm

  (B) if the flood was gradual or created a cataclysm

  (C) about whether the flood was gradual or cataclysmic

  (D) whether the flood was gradual or cataclysmic（D）

  (E) whether the flood was gradual or it created a cataclysm

暂时搜过大全没有看到接两句句子的例子，不过我感到连接两句句子也蛮顺的，虽然排出了e，但有可能是因为没有对称

是否可以连接句子主要是看它的词性，whether是连词，当然，可以连接句子。
