A. that the closer one came to town, the more the city air would become increasingly acidic B. that the city air became increasingly acidic the closer one came to town C. that coming closer to town, the city air became increasingly acidic D. that the more the city air became increasingly acidic, the closer one was to town E. the city air becoming increasingly acidic as one would come closer to town
我认为是C。 说说我的理解:当air离城市越近的时候,air就变的更acidic;也可以说是离town越近的air的酸性程度越高。 单看C选项中的that从句, that coming closer to town, the city air became increasingly acidic, coming closer做伴随修饰the city air(这样也避免了用one来修饰air这个有点awkward的用法),指代明确。其他选项读起来就都很奇怪了。
