6. In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus was growing on the walls.
(A) due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing (B) due to moisture that tourists had exhaled, thereby raising its humidity to such levels that salt from the stone would crystallize (C) because tourists were exhaling moisture, which had raised the humidity within them to levels such that salt from the stone would crystallize (D) because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize (E) because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing
(D) because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize (E) because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing
事实上，如果说D的them有问题，那么E也是有同样的问题的，所以OG这个解释不太靠谱 D最关键的错误在于 becuase of 后面应该是一个名词，后面修饰对象应该简单明晰，D明显后面修饰的东西 过于复杂，可以有以下两种 1. because of moisture "that was exhaled by tourists" raising the humidity within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize 也就是 说raising the humidity修饰 moisture 2 . because of moisture "that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them" to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize 也就是raising the humidity 修饰tourists 这里会存在两种解释
当然，最简单的，and 前后不平行， because of的结构没有相应的连词不可能直接接一个完整句“fungus was growing on the walls”
我也在琢磨这个指代问题呢。 先不考虑别的原因我们就讨论 them 在CDE三个选项中的指代问题。OG的解释是没问题的它说的是 “seems to refer to tourists” 没说一定指代，只是说造成了歧义。 C 中because引导的原因状语从句由主句+定语从句构成，tourists是主句的主语，所以定语从句中的them 可能指代tourists. D 中rasing the humidity within them 分词如果就近修饰名词tourists,所以 them 指代tourists. E 中 by tourists 只是介词短语作状语修饰动词exhaled，从句中的them 不可能指代tourists，只可能优先指示代主句主语chambers 你觉得我解释的对不对啊？？

D的解释好像不够严密，raising为什么一定修饰tourists 呢？ 从句意讲它应该是moisture的谓语，只是由于because of 的原因变成了分词形式。 这个问题我也不懂。。
(D) because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize (E) because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing
