原题是这样的:
The Anasazi settlements at Chaco Canyon were built on a spectacular scale, with more
than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were connected by a
complex regional system of roads.
A. scale, with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each,
were
B. scale, with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each,
C. scale of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms, each that
had been
D. scale of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms and with
each
E. scale of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms, each had
been
答案居然是B而不是A。 书上的Explanation是这样的:
This sentence makes a claim about the scale (size, extent) of the Anasazi settlements
and then illustrates that claim with a description of the settlements’ structures. The
second part of the sentence, introduced by the preposition with, describes the
structures first in terms of their rooms and then in terms of the roads that connect
them together. To describe the noun structures, the participial form connected should
be used, turning the verb into an adjective.
A. The verb were connected has no subject, since structures is the object of the
preposition with.
B. Correct. The sentence is logically coherent and grammatically correct.
C. The comma preceding each makes each a subject, but it has no verb, since that is
the subject of had been connected.
D. This sentence suggests that the scale or size of the settlements is made up of
structures, rather than uses the structures as an example of the settlements’ grand
scale; it also nonsensically indicates that each room is connected by a complex
system of roads.
E. This run-on sentence suffers from a comma splice, as the phrase following the
comma is a main clause; the reference of the pronoun each is ambiguous.
这个解释不是很懂,主语该是The Anasazi settlements,谓语该是 were built,然后呢?后面的那些里,谁修饰谁?不是很明白这个解释,为什么不可以用were connected?
