以下是引用billkuan在2003-11-3 13:09:00的发言: but i think "which" modifies "deterioration" that is single, so (D) may be grammatically correct. What do you think? anyway, thanks a lot, starwing.
Here "spoilage of food, corrosion of metals... " are noun phrases which refer to the results of deterioration. Thus means, how ever, deterioration is a process. So the logic accordance breaks. How could one includes the result of itsself?
此题注意后面的spoilage of food, metals corroding, decay of wood, and other undesirable alterations of substances 实际上是effects of bacteria deterioration, 而不是deterioration本身。D在逻辑上不通
