There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.

A.       There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.

B.       There are no legal limits on the size of monkfish that can be caught, unlike cod or haddock, a circumstance that contributes to depleting them because they are being overfished.

C.       There are legal limits on the size of cod and haddock that can be caught, but not for monkfish, which contributes to its depletion through overfishing.

D.       Unlike cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, which contributes to its depletion by being overfished.  (A)

E.        Unlike catching cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, contributing to their depletion because they are overfished.

the answer is a, but I think it should be c.

C有两个问题，第一是WHICH指代不清，按语法应是就近指代MONKFISH，这样语义就错误，第二点，A的原义是强调对MONKFISH的大小没有限制，但C中变为 肯定+BUT NOT的结构，是转折的平行结构，改变了A句强调的部分。

楼主请耐心做完OG的题，看完OG的解释，再做GWD，从你的提问来看，OG并没有掌握，建议最少看三遍以上~~

There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.

BUT WHAT DOES "THEIR" REFER TO? COD AND HADDOCK?  I think it should refer to monkfish, so the use of "their" is wrong, but should be replaced by its.

by the way, I have red the og for about 3 times, and I will take the test in no more than 10 days.

我认为是C,不同意版主的说法

A.       There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance(用新名词指代前面句子所带来的结果) that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.

C.       There are legal limits on the size of cod and haddock that can be caught, but not for monkfish, which(不能指代前面句子，而只能指代单个的词，所以错。且，but not for monkfish,可以被理解为插入语，从而造成which产生歧义 ) contributes to its depletion through overfishing.

支持A

C的which 只能修飾monkfish。邏輯意義不附。

A中their确实有问题，会不会monkfish单复数同型？

C肯定错，which没有指代对象。
