28-12: Over the next few years, increasing demands on the laceName>ChattahoocheelaceName> laceType>RiverlaceType>, which flows into the laceName>ApalachicolalaceName> laceType>RiverlaceType>, could alter the saline content of laceName>ApalachicolalaceName> Bay, which would rob the oysters there of their flavor, and to make them decrease in size, less distinctive, and less in demand.

A: which would rob the oysters there of their flavor, and to make them decrease in size

B: and it would rob the oysters there of their flavor, make them smaller

C: and rob the oysters there of their flavor, making them decrease in size

D: robbing the oysters there of their flavor and making them smaller

E: robbing the oysters there of their flavor, and making them decrease in size

我选 c 因为一开始看到 smaller觉得和后面的 less 很陪， 但看到有大牛 选 c 觉得 c 语法没错，意思好像更好一点。 大家帮我看看吧

昨天跟同学讨论这题，他认为是D。我觉得也挺有道理的，我把他的理由粘贴在这里，请大家帮忙看下。NN们快来看看呀！谢谢先！！！

理由如下：

选D

全句的主语是increasing demands，原句的大致意思是：这个demands可以改变Apalachicola湾的含盐量，这会改变牡蛎的味道，并且使得它们… （我没查字典，不知道翻的准不准，不过大致是这个意思）

从句意可以看出，是这个港湾含盐量的改变导致了牡蛎在味道、大小、需求量等方面的变化。这正是D用两个伴随状语所表达的意思。

如果选C，C里的rob和alter并列，making做伴随状语，表rob和alter两者的结果。那么，意思就变成了：不断增长的需求导致了这个港湾含盐量的改变及牡蛎味道的变化，这两种变化导致了牡蛎在大小、需求量等方面的变化。  注意红体字部分，其中，含盐量的改变导致牡蛎大小的变化的确有理，但是味道的变化导致牡蛎大小的变化显然不合逻辑，所以C不正确

我觉得是D，

A: which （不能指代一句话）would rob the oysters there of their flavor, and to make them decrease in size

B: and（改变了原文结构，也run-on） it would rob the oysters there of their flavor, make them smaller

C: and（改变了原文结构） rob the oysters there of their flavor, making them decrease in size(三个比较级并列）

D: robbing the oysters there of their flavor and making them smaller

E: robbing the oysters there of their flavor, （逗号不必要）and making them decrease in size(三个比较级并列）

对了，楼主这个GWD-28是从哪得到的啊？

支持D,应该是伴随的结果，不是并列关系。

谢谢楼主的连接哦！

"smaller" in B and D is incorrect since no comparable object. only E, the best choice; "robbing" and "making" modify "alter".

Regarding the comma between "their flavor" and "and making", it's not wrong, you can find many examples in OG

So what's the comparable object of the "less distinctive, and less in demand"?
