A. only emperors performing the ritual worship of heaven, perceiving them as
B. only emperors to perform the ritual worship of heaven, with the perception of them being
C. the ritual worship of heaven to be performed only by emperors, who were perceived as
D. the ritual worship of heaven, performed by emperors only, with the perception of them as
E. the ritual worship of heaven as performed by emperors only, who were perceived to be

ans. C

这道题论坛中原来的帖子也没有给出个详细的解释。

我选的是B，觉得only的位置不能改变，要不意思会有所变化。然后是allow  to

B中，them being 不对。

D中，with the perception of them 冗长。
