OG11-黄97. The stars, some of them at tremendous in motion just as the planets are, yet being so far away from Earth that their apparent positions in the sky do not change enough for their movement observed during a single human lifetime.
(A) The stars, some of them at tremendous speeds, are in motion just as the planets are, yet being
(B) Like the planets, the stars are in motion, some of them at tremendous speeds, but they are
(C) Although like the planets the stars are in motion, some of them at tremendous speeds, yet
(D) As the planets, the stars are in motion, some of them at tremendous speeds, but they are
(E) The stars are in motion like the planets, some of which at tremendous speeds are in motion but

Answer: B

OG对E的解释中有一句：some of which is awkward and ambiguous

我想问一下：
（1）E中是不是因为which修饰的是planets（而实际上应该修饰stars）才错呢？

（2）如果把句子改成：
Like the planets, the stars are in motion, some of which at tremendous speeds, but they are so far away from Earth that their apparent positions in the sky do not change enough for their movement observed during a single human lifetime.
（就是把正确的句子中的them换成which）对不对呢？

1) yes
2) Nope : the clause introduced by "which" NEEDS a working verb.

ingore the original meaning of the sentence..."some of which at tremendous speeds ARE in motion "-----is the right usage of :"some of which"

Thank you very much!
U really have a good understanding of the use of "which"
and I've learnt a lot.

Gail能解释下什么是working verb 么？

其实就是动词噢没什么讲究的..想装装有点滴墨水的人结果被看穿了..哈哈！

Working verb 就是实意动词。像 RUN, EAT 等等。
还有其他种类的动词比如 linking verb 比如 seem, appear。

他们都有不同的规则，在使用的时候。

hope this helps =)
