. As the price of gasoline rises, which makes substituting alcohol distilled from cereal grain attractive, the prices of bread and livestock feed are sure to increase.
(A) which makes substituting alcohol distilled from cereal grain attractive
(B) which makes substituting the distillation of alcohol from cereal grain attractive
(C) which makes distilling alcohol from cereal grain an attractive substitute
(D) making an attractive substitution of alcohol distilled from cereal grain(E)
(E) making alcohol distilled from cereal grain an attractive substitute
Choice A, B, and C are faulty because the pronoun which refers loosely to the whole clause rather than to some noun.
The original sentence is intended to say that alcohol is an attractive substitute for gasoline, but the understood phrase for gasoline cannot be inserted anywhere in A without producing an awkward construction.
Both B and C are illogically worded: the distillation of alcohol, not the alcohol itself, is substituted for gasoline in B, as the act of distilling alcohol is in C.
Choice D is unidiomatic and suggests that the rising rice of gasoline is what makes the substitution.
Choice E is the best for this question of middle difficulty.
大家没有问过,看了是老OG的上一道题,我明白应该是E ,但我疑惑的一点就是making这里若是做开始as 从句的伴随状语,但是后面有名词 the prices 难道不会引起修饰歧异吗 |
