盼大牛指点：）

E?

A、Marconi’s conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is

B、Marconi conceived of the radio as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, but which is

C、Marconi conceived of the radio as a tool for private conversation that could substitute for the telephone; instead, it has become

D、Marconi conceived of the radio to be a tool for private conversation, a substitute for the telephone, which has become

E、Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than what it is,

答案在C,E中，个人认为C的that有歧义，所以选E

答案在C,E中，个人认为C的that有歧义，所以选E

C吧~根据意思应该是这样，而且conceive of ...as...搭配

请指教：） 

支持E.

原文要表达的是M对radio性质的理解与radio事实上的性质不同，表达一个构想与事实的对比。

所以E很好，结构平行，意思也对，what it is一点都不多余，它刚好表达了“事实”这一意思，如同原文的it is…所表达的含义一样。precisely the opposite是插入语。

E唯一缺陷是conceive of sth to be.

E、Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than
                    what it is, precisely the opposite, a tool for communicating with a large, public audience.

支持C,that 这种用法也见过,就是根据逻辑意思指代中心词

E的what it is觉得比较多余,而且,觉得同位语和前面的宾语用相同的结构才会产生歧义

支持C

that 修饰我认为没有歧义，句意上说private conversation 不可能被the telephone替代。而且that可以跳跃指代。

E、Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than what it is,

a tool for private conversation是谁的同位语？the radio 还是the telephone？句子意思应该the radio 的，但语法上好像应该是the telephone的

1）E的惟一缺陷是conceive of sth to be. 应该是conceive of sth as sth. 或者conceive to be sth。

2）E选项其他方面是没有问题的： a tool for private conversation确实从语法和逻辑上讲都是telephone的同位语。what it is用的也没错，表示现在的情况，其后面的a tool做what it is的同位语，和前面的同位语a tool构成功能相同的同位语；

3）C的问题就多了。首先，it指代不清;其次，could这个词加的绝对没必要，为什么不用would也不用might，英文里面这些词是有实际含义的;再次，两个句子不平行，这个在此虽不是大问题，但也不完美。
