There is speculation that increasing cold weather was what may have been responsible for the Anasazi move from Mesa Verde to sites in other canyons.
(A) that increasing cold weather was what may have been
(B) whether increasing cold weather was what was
(C) that increasingly cold weather was what had been
(D) whether increasingly cold weather may have been what was
(E) that increasingly cold weather may have been

正确答案是E，我选了A，因为我觉得E选项里面的increasing应该用adj的形式来修饰cold weather, 所以我一上来就把CDE排除掉了

有没有NN能我解释下为什么这里要用adv的形式，increasingly？我觉得副词形式是错误的啊……谢谢

我做题时跟你思路一样，后来我是这样想的：
“increasing”表示“渐增的，越来越多的”，“increasingly”表示“日益，越来越多地”，我想是因为“increasing”有渐增的意思，会被误以为是冷天气的日子越来越多，造成歧义。
