求教885section19-12（没人解答过）

12.   The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival’s month.

(A) world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival’s month

(B) world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival’s month

(C) world when they proclaimed a sacred truce for the festival month

(D) world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival（C）

(E) world by proclamation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival

C中they指代games不合逻辑呀？

B中proclaiming的逻辑主语应该是games吧，这样这个选项也不合逻辑

D不如A简洁

E中by后面表达不简洁

A中in that表示原因连接一个句子，在语法上没问题，因为题目没有告诉谁proclaim，所以用被动形式略去了发出proclaim动作的主体。我觉得比较正确，希望大家一起来探讨。

C "they" 指代games? why not"states"?

per my opinion: 是states 去proclaim而非games

同意楼上的观点。The Olympic Games 作为专有名词，应该是单数。否则，会引起they指代不明。
