1.        Scientists have observed large concentrations of heavy-metal deposits in the upper twenty centimeters of Baltic Sea sediments, which are consistent with the growth of industrial activity there.

(A) Baltic Sea sediments, which are consistent with the growth of industrial activity there

(B) Baltic Sea sediments, where the growth of industrial activity is consistent with these findings

(C) Baltic Sea sediments, findings consistent with its growth of industrial activity

(D) sediments from the Baltic Sea, findings consistent with the growth of industrial activity in the area（D）

(E) sediments from the Baltic Sea, consistent with the growth of industrial activity there

这题完全摸不着头脑, 为什么选D呢?

findings consistent with the growth of industrial activity in the area  算是同位语吗?

OG38解释：

All of the choices but D contain ambiguities. In A and B the words which and where appear to refer to sediments, and in E it is not clear what consistent describes. In A, C, and E, there is no logical place to which there or its could refer. In D, the best choice, the phrase sediments from the Baltic Sea tells where the sediments originate, findings provides a noun for consistent to modify, and in the area clearly identifies where the industrial activity is growing.

Stoneren, 这条OG的解释我看不懂 :-(

"findings consistent with the growth of industrial activity in the area", 在句中的成分是什么呢? 同位语吗?

同位语，不是有明显的特征吗——除名、数、代，另外的就是分词、不定式，of结构，还有从句（同位语从句）

这里不是巴
