Q16.

The nineteenth-century chemist Humphry Davy presented the results of his early experiments in his‘Essay on Heat and Light’, a critique of all chemistry since Rober Boyle as well as a vision of a new chemistry that Davy hoped to found.

B a critique of all chemistry following Robert Boyle and also his envisioning of a

C a critique of all chemistry after Robert Boyle and envisioning as well

D critiquing all chemistry from Robert Boyle forward and also a vision of

E critiquing all the chemistry done since Robert Boyle as well as his own

the answer is b

我觉得a好一些, as well as 连接 a critique 和 a vision

b中：a critique 和 his envisioning 不对称，且应该用名词形式vision.

We are wavering between choices A and B. Make a search and you will find a lot of discussions regarding this question...

Personally I prefer A, but we absolutely need someone authoritative to cut the chase...
