234. The physical structure of the human eye enables it to sense light of wavelengths up to 0.0005 millimeters; infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters--is too long to be registered by the eye. (A) infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters--is too long to be registered by the eye (B) however, the wavelength of infrared radiation--0.1 millimeters--is top long to be registered by the eye making it invisible (C) infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters--is too long for the eye to register it (D) however, because the wavelength of infrared radiation is 0.1 millimeters, it is too long for the eye to register and thus invisible (E) however, infrared radiation has a wavelength of 0.1 millimeters that is too long for the eye to register, thus making it invisible
Choice A, the best answer, is clear, idiomatic, and grammatically correct. In B, the misplaced participial phrase making it invisible modifies eye rather than wavelength, thus producing a confusing statement that distorts the meaning. In C, D, and E the use of the second it is so imprecise as to be confusing. Furthermore, in D, and thus invisible incorrectly modifies wavelength rather than infrared radiation. Choice E produces an illogical statement by using a restrictive clause introduced by that where a comma followed by the nonrestrictive "which" is required: a wavelength of 0.1 millimeters that is too long nonsensically suggests that not all wavelengths of 0.1 millimeters are too long for the eye to register.
求教:
按照OG对 C, D , E的解释,
In C, D, and E the use of the second it is so imprecise as to be confusing. 那么是否可以理解为:
分号前面的it 所指代的对象应该跟分号后面一致呢?
B也是存在着跟C, D , E一样的情况,为什么OG就没说 B会有这种歧异呢? |
