Floating in the waters of the equatorial Pacific, an array of buoys collects and transmits data on long-term interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere, interactions that affect global climate.
A. atmosphere,interactions that affect
B. atmosphere,with interactions affecting
C. atmosphere that affects
D. atmosphere that is affecting
E. atmosphere as affects
I'm now confused on A.Could anybody be kind to tell me How to figure it out.Thanks.
A is correct, c will not be chosen, because " atmsphere that affects" here affects should follow interactions, interactions in the orginal sentence is plural, so it should be followed by "affect", also, in A, interactions once again appear, it is the symbol of correctness. so we should choose A
