Like the grassy fields and old pastures that the upland sandpiper needs for feeding and nesting when it returns in May after wintering in the Argentine Pampas, the sandpipers vanishing in the northeastern United States is a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in farming practices.

A. the sandpipers vanishing in the northeastern United States is a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in

B. the bird itself is vanishing in the northeastern United States as a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in

C. that the birds themselves are vanishing in the northeastern United States is due to residential and industrial development and changes to

D. in the northeastern United States, sandpipers’ vanishing is due to residential and industrial development and to changes in

E. in the northeastern United States, the sandpipers’ vanishing, a result of residential and industrial development and changing

高人现身吧，在线等

有过很多讨论了

其实这个题还是蛮有有意思的，用Like A, B does 句型来比较两种看起来非常不相干的东西，其实正是看起来不相干，使得我们必须找到其共同点：both A and B are vanishing，而且其原因是相同的 -- as a result of ...。只有找到这个共性，才能正确选择到答案。

A. 仅仅说了the sandpipers are vanishing，没有体现the grassy fields and old pastures [[are also vanishing]], 也就是没有找到Like A, B结构中AB的共性！

C. 一个that 使得句子是两个从句连接，没有主句; change to中的介词也不对

DE同样没有主句, 句子结构不完整

unlike要求平行，D动名词和名词不平行

另外

A. the sandpipers vanishing in the northeastern United States is a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in

这样的表达是ETS常见的陷阱。

这样的表达是ETS常见的陷阱。

Like，出现一致性 "就像........."；画线外主语是就像什么东西（名词），后面也应该是说什么东西；

C that 指这个过程，不是东西，DE说鸟的什么过程；AB，A这个东西是个结果；答案B）

这是GWD上课讲的内容
