In choice A, was is incorrect; the verb must be were to agree with times. (主谓不一致) Also, which becomes the subject of a compound verb that lacks parallelism: was determined…and differing. (???) In choice B, was is again incorrect, and the use of two which clauses is awkward. (笨拙) In choice C, which were determined…and differing is another faulty compound verb. (???) Choice D presents a false compound: determined is an adjective modifying local times and differed is the simple past tense of to differ. (不平行) Because they serve different grammatical functions, these words cannot be treated as parallel elements joined by and. Choice E is best: without which, determined and differing function not as verb elements but as parallel modifiers of local times. (平行) This question is very difficult.

这两句OG为何说它们不平行 which were determined ...and (were ) differing 是平行的啊
