GWD 9-3再讨论

Because of wireless service costs plummeting in the last year, and as mobile phones are increasingly common, many people now using their mobile phones to make calls across a wide region at night and on weekends, when numerous wireless companies provide unlimited airtime for a relatively small monthly fee.
            

A. Because of wireless service costs plummeting in the last year, and as mobile phones are increasingly common, many people
            

B. As the cost of wireless service plummeted in the last year and as mobile phones became increasingly common, many people
            

C. In the last year, with the cost of wireless service plummeting, and mobile phones have become increasingly common, there are many people
            

D. With the cost of wireless service plummeting in the last year and mobile phones becoming increasingly common, many people are
            

E. While the cost of wireless service has plummeted in the last year and mobile phones are increasingly common, many people are
    

看了前人的讨论,还是无法定论,D和E

D中的缺点是  plummeting in the last year  感觉in the last year应该是完成时态

E中  are increasingly common 似乎没有 becoming increasingly common好

并且前人讨论过的转折,首先E中并没有转折的意思,while除了弱转折也可以伴随的

牛牛有什么看法吗

D吧,E读起来怪怪的,while作转折不合适,做伴随也不及D的因果好,因为逗号后面是are NOW using...,前面应该是陈述一个原因,后面才会引出人们现在怎样(暗含前面的原因造成了人们过去和现在不同)

没看明白“D中的缺点是  plummeting in the last year  感觉in the last year应该是完成时态”,哪里应该是完成时态?

with...plummeting in the last year,后面主句完全可以用are using啊

赞成D.while无法表达因果关系。而D是独立主格开头,且平行,修饰主句。

E.While可以引导让步,并列和时间状语。让步错,并列错,引导时间状语后面用过去完成时我觉得很怪。就算可以,也无法表达出原句的因果关系。

供参考。

d 因为while无法表达因果关系,而从题干看要表达一个因果关系
