刚才发贴不对，更正一下： OG11-51原文解释，倾向于避免用IN THAT. The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred
truce was proclaimed during the festival's month. (A) world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month (B) world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival's month (C) world when they proclaimed a sacred truce for the festival month (D) world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival (E) world by proclamation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival Idiom + Rhetorical construction
This sentence depends on using the correct conjunction
to join two independent clauses.
In that is a conjunction
that means inasmuch as; because
in that has largely gone
out of use, it is considered stilted and overly formal. It also
uses two words when one would do. In this sentence, the
second clause explains the first one, so the conjunction
for, meaning because, is the most appropriate choice for joining the two independent clauses of the compound sentence.A In that is stilted and overly formal B It is not clear who would be doing the proclaiming, a clause is preferable to a phrase here C They is ambiguous, possibly referring to either the states or the Games D Correct. In this sentence, the conjunction for joins the two clauses correctly and economically. E Wordy and awkward construction The correct answer is D.
