请教大家prep-99，请大家不吝赐教！

99.A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period.

(A) that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing

(B) that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in

(C) that creatures of the seabed were suffering because of food supplies, which were dwindling possibly as a result of increasing

(D) creatures of the seabed that were suffering from food supplies that were dwindling, possibly resulting from an increase in

(E) creatures of the seabed that were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, which possibly resulted from increasing

答案为什么是b，而不是a,请大家指教，谢谢！

A 的resulting前面应该需要个连接词吧。我是这么认为的，不知道对不对

A

宾语从句的that不能省略，cd排除

suffer from 固定用语，选A

不看suffer from，再往后看，出现because 则because of排除，因为前者简洁有效，

最后看A B，同样用简洁有效，AB表示同一个意思，但是B明显很绕，排除。

参考新东方老师给的一些规则哈，有不正确不吝赐教~~

简洁有效：1用词少为简洁，但不能改变句子原意    短语优于从句，从这道题AB比较也可以看出来

2避免重复用词 比如 annual和a year 重复。。诸如此类的重复可以直接排除

此处主要是强调一个已经结束的状态（increase）而不是正在进行的动作(increasing)，所以用名词会比用动名词更优。

同样的，food supplies were dwindling用了一个过去进行事表达了时间的概念，比单单用分词短语dwindling food supplies 表达的持续性动作要更优

希望有所帮助～

1、首先 reveal 后面要用宾语从句，可以排除 DE2选项

2、 其次，从逻辑含义可以排除C,creatures of the seabed were suffering 是因为  because food supplies were dwindling这件事情，而不是 因为 food supplies ；

3、 A和B 中排除A.原因是 A中的possibly resulting from increasing修饰有歧义，可以理解成修饰food supplies，也可以 理解成修饰 creatures of the seabed were suffering ；除此之外，A中的resulting from increasing里面的 “increasing动名词（表状态）"没有"increase 名词（表结果）”好
