15.
In A, "which" doesn't have explicit antedote.
the relation of cause and effect between main clause and subordinate is reasonable,so we choose E

Of the twin supernovas tell us we should use comparative manner, right?

A,B,C,D错在make it an ideal site 的主语,都是Madagascar. 而一个地方不能主动make sth. 只有E 避免了这个错误,而且it指代Madagascar, 意思合适.E is the best choice.

15T中的D 不可以理解成为分词短语形式表结果吗?

lilyzy · 发表于 2005-1-27 18:58:00

D的意思不对. D: Madagascar, one of the last habitable areas of the earth,

原文: Madagascar was one of the last habitable areas of the earth to undergo human settlement

我覺得A,B,C,D make it an ideal site 的主语,並非是Madagascar

A 可代替settlement

C 可代替the earth

D 可代替 settlement or madagascar這三個語意都不通

以下是引用lilyzy在2005-1-27 18:58:00的发言：

D的意思不对. D: Madagascar, one of the last habitable areas of the earth,

原文: Madagascar was one of the last habitable areas of the earth to undergo human settlement

这里我明白了，可是d错误的原因只有这一处吗？大全注释上解释 d错是因为underwent human settlement和making it没有伴随关系。我不是很明白大全的注释，哪位nn能解释一下吗？多谢！
