76. Gall's hypothesis of there being different mental functions localized in different parts of the brain is widely accepted today.

(A) of there being different mental functions localized in different parts of the brain is widely accepted today

(B) of different mental functions that are localized in different parts of the brain is widely accepted today

(C) that different mental functions are localized in different parts of the brain is widely accepted today

(D) which is that there are different mental functions localized in different parts of the brain is widely accepted today

(E) which is widely accepted today is that there are different mental functions localized in different parts of the brain

Choices A and B are faulty because a relative clause beginning with that is needed to state Gall's hypothesis. The phrase of there being, as used in A, is wordy and unidiomatic; in B, of different mental functions does not convey Gall's point about those functions. Choices D and E are awkward and wordy, and both use which where that would be the preferred pronoun for introducing a clause that states Gall's point. Further, the phrasing of E misleadingly suggests that a distinction is being made between this hypothesis and others by Gall that are not widely accepted today. Choice C is best.

划线部分说that比which好，是不是说只要先行词和引导词之间没有逗号，that就比which好呢？可以这样理解吗？

因为that 引导的是hypothesis的同位语，所以不用which，而是that引导从句好

我觉得不是这个意思。E中的which引导的是定语从句。我想ETS的意思是说这里不能用which因为which在这里引导的是限定性定语从句，意思变成除了G其他的理论就不被广泛接受，所以不合理。

不过我不明白的是，为什么这里用which就是限定性定语从句，是不是没有逗号which只能引导限定性定语从句呢？

d,ewhich引导的都是定语从句,不如that好不是因为限定性,非限定性的问题,og说是awkward and wordy,我们来具体分析一下

d: hypothesis which is that there are different mental functions localized in different parts of the brain is widely accepted today

which的先行词是hypothesiswhich这个定语从句本身还带个表语从句

which is that这不是ets最讨厌的从句套从句,多wordy多awkward

og的原则是在不影响句意的情况下能省则省,那直接用that引导同位语从句多简洁,多清晰,这就是说d中that比which好的原因

再看e hypothesis which is widely accepted today is that there are different mental functions localized in different parts of the brain我们翻译成中文会比较明白

现在广为接受的假设就是那个(大脑中不同的地方blar blar blar)

就好像g的假说有现在广为接受的也有不广为接受的,其中不广为接受的是那个....

这就是og的意思.

og的说法是

titatita解释得很精辟。

以下是OG11th对E的解释：

E Which is widely accepted today implies that Gall's other theories are not accepted today, distorting the meaning of the sentence

我记得OG对which看做为非限定的用法，这样的话which不是就单单指唯一一个G' hopothesis，这样不就不会有其他的theories？？

那E不是就可以选了！！

请指正！！

同意mm的解释，og解释也是说which引导的从句会误导还有不被接受的其他理论，所以此处用限定性定于从句改变了原句的意思是不对的

7楼的兄弟，你贴上去的OG的解释说得很明确，Which is widely accepted today 说明Gall还有其他一些没有被当今社会接受的理论，所以和是不是非限定性定语从句无关。只是Which is widely accepted today 的位置紧靠hypothesis，就是换成that也是有同样的问题而C中的that对在它是一个同位语从句，对hypothesis进行解释说明。

我对C/E选项的理解：
试比较C/E主句的意思：
C:Gall的（关于大脑XXX的）假设现在被广泛接受了。
E:Gall的（现在被广泛接受的）假设是关于大脑XXX的。（按照OG的意思，还有没被广泛接收的假设，因此把句意给扭曲了）
而且个人感觉，C选项的确更加流畅一些——虽然不知道为什么
