37.Seeming to be the only organization fighting for the rights of poor people in the South, Hosea Hudson, a laborer in Alabama, joined the Communist party in 1931.
(A) Seeming to be
(B) As
(C) In that they seemed
(D) Since it seemed
(E) Because it seemed to be
答案是E，不知道这句号如何翻，Hosea Hudson是一人laborer，那it 能只待他吗？而且前面是一组织后面是一人，还如何翻啊？

it refers to the party , not the person.

thank you

对答案没有疑义.我的问题是,E里的seemed to be的to be是必须的吗?我觉得seemed就可以了啊.

dashasha,

seem后面可以直接接名词，Collins里面的例子：

On the face of if, their marriage seems an improbable alliance.

等等

只是这种情况比较少，究竟有没有区别还要请newbee来解释

可是og届时说是必需的呀。。。

and to be is needed to complete the predicate begun by seemed.

？？

求教？

anniya · 发表于 2006-7-24 16:09:00

confused...

还有，og上有这么一句： In that in C and Since in D are less direct and idiomatic than Because in this context,

为什么in that 在这里没有because好呢？？

谢谢~

请大家帮忙说说？

seem后可以直接跟名词如It seems a foolish decision now.

请教D，E的区别
