253. Analysts blamed May’s sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather, colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture. (A) colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed (B) which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions, slowing (C) since it was colder and wetter than usually in some regions, which slowed (D) being colder and wetter than usually in some regions, slowing(B) (E) having been colder and wetter than was usual in some regions and slowed Choice B is the best answer. It is concise and idiomatic, and which has a clear referent, the weather. In A, the insertion of was is unnecessary, and the referent of which is not clear because regions, not weather, is the nearest noun. In C, the adjective usual is needed in place of the adverb usually, and the referent of which is unclear because regions, not weather, is the nearest noun. In D and E, the verb phrases (being colder..., having been colder...) do not refer as clearly to the noun weather as the pronoun which does. Choice D needs the adjective usual in place of the adverb usually, while choice E fails to maintain parallelism in verb tense (having been... and slowed).
DE没有问题,但是A我做的时候是这样想的:主句...the weather(,插入成分,)which..... 这样which就可以直接修饰weather也没有歧义了.不是一般插入成分都可以忽略不看的么?
还有就是B的,slowing作伴随状语没有问题,是修饰Analysts blamed May’s sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather还是which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions???
之前的讨论贴已经搜过了,对此类的回答还是没有定论。望NN能解答~~谢谢先
