句子结构:The assault culminated in eleventh century with conquest, an achievement that other kings attempted to repeat, but without success.
D. an achievement attempted later in the century by other Scandinavian kings that was not successful
D这里不仅仅是that指代other kings的指代歧义这么简单哦
有人会认为 attempted later in the century by other kings 可以当作名词性修饰语,that跳过修饰语修饰an achievement这样也说得通丫,但是你再看清楚一下,原题的success修饰的是repeat the achievement,而不是修饰achievement,而D选项repeat都不见了,等于说那个不成功是指这个achievement的不成功,而不是后人去repeat不成功,整个改变了原来的意思~~~~
