Government officials announced that restrictions on the use of water would continue because no appreciative increase in the level of the river resulted from the intermittent showers that had fallen throughout the area the day before .
A)restrictions on the use of water would continue because no appreciative increase in the level of the river
B)restricting the use of water would continue because there had not been any appreciative increase in the river's level that
C)the use of water would continue to be restricted because not any appreciable increase in the river's level had
D)restrictions on the use of water would continue because no appreciable increase in the level of the river had
E)Using water would continue being restricted because not any appreciable increase in the level of the river
appreciative appreciable不是同一个意思,A用appreciable是错的。
另外,A中result用过去完成时是为了表示出和announce的时间顺序的先后。一段话中用两个过去完成时没什么,就像一段话中也可以用两个一般过去时一样。result和fall相对于announce都是在announce之前发生的。不过我觉得这种时态的区隔是nice to have,最非黑即白的区别就是appreciative和appreciable在意思上根本的不同。
