ＯＧ１７０逻辑问题大家谈

通过排除法很容易选到正确答案　　我是想问一下，first应该如何判断到底修饰谁，我觉得句中没有明确表明是修饰air还是后边的啊

170. Although early soap operas were first aired on evening radio in the 1920's, they had moved to the daytime hours of the 1930's when the evening schedule became crowded with comedians and variety shows.

(A)  were first aired on evening radio in the 1920's, they had moved to the daytime hours of the 1930's

(B)  were first aired on evening radio in the 1920's, they were moved to the daytime hours in the 1930's

(C)  were aired first on evening radio in the 1920's, moving to the daytime hours in the 1930's

(D) were aired first in the evening on 1920's radio, they moved to the daytime hours of the 1930's

(E)  aired on evening radio first in the 1920's, they were moved to the 1930's in the daytime hours

Choice B is the best answer. It maintains the passive voice and the past tense (were ... aired) established in the intro­ductory clause. Choice D breaks this parallelism by shifting from passive to active voice (moved). Choice A also uses the active voice and inappropriately shifts to the past perfect tense (had moved); the past perfect should be used to indicate action completed before, not after, the action of were aired. In C, moving introduces a dangling participial phrase in place of an independent clause, thus producing a fragment. E drops were before aired and finishes the sentence with two prepositional phrases that distort the meaning

这句的意思应该是说：尽管肥皂剧首先出现在20年代的晚间广播中，但是………………

所以修饰关系很明显了
