GWD 25-5 答案争论继续

For many revisionist historians, Christopher Columbus has come to personify devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere.

A.     devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere

B.     devastation and enslavement in the name of progress by which native peoples of the Western Hemisphere decimated

C.    devastating and enslaving in the name of progress those native peoples of the Western Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.

D.    devastating and enslaving those native peoples of the western Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.

E.     the devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that have decimated the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere.

参考答案是A,本人认为E定语从句是否跳跃修饰devastation  and enslavement,希望大家参与讨论

弱弱的问：in the name of progress 是什么意思

感觉可以。OG中有THAT跳过介词短语修饰名词的例子，而且THAT修饰devastation and enslavement也可以。就看句意了，一陀陌生名词。。。。。。

请牛人们给出意见.....

没有人有意见吗？ＣＤ的大侠NN都到哪里去了啊？？？

名次第一次出现，用the 是不是有所不妥？

同意楼上，不可数名词不是特指没必要用the吧。并且原句that是修饰progress，并没什么问题，那就没理由改变。不然就改变原意了吧……

并且仔细体会一下，屠杀NA的应该是progress这个具体的东西，而不是那两个抽象名词

个人理解～

首先感谢kathy8446的回答,关于"不可数名词不是特指没必要用the吧"有没有什么依据?从一般逻辑上来讲,应该是devastation and enslavement  来 decimated 的把

The answer should be E.

Here, "that" 跳跃修饰 "devastation  and enslavement." The logical meaning in the context decides that "progress" cannot decimate people, it is  "devastation  and enslavement."

By the way, "that" 跳跃修饰 is allowed as long as the referent is clear enough.
