大全857

857   There is speculation that increasing cold weather was what may have been responsible for the Anasazi move from Mesa Verde to sites in other canyons.

(A) that increasing cold weather was what may have been

(B) whether increasing cold weather was what was

(C) that increasingly cold weather was what had been

(D) whether increasingly cold weather may have been what was（E）

(E) that increasingly cold weather may have been

请问C错在哪里？

1、过去完成时单独使用，不正确

2、题干中表示可能的情态动词一般不要省略，省略后改变原句意思了

3、was what had been太罗嗦了

请问：a错误的原因是否因为what may have been太罗嗦？

My q1:may不是虚拟语气那是什么?只是表达可能性的情态动词?

     My q2非画线部分: responsible for the Anasazi move 一般现在时from Mesa Verde to sites in other canyons.

responsible for后面加的是个句子而且没有that宾语从句省了that

     My q2非画线部分: responsible for the Anasazi move 一般现在时from Mesa Verde to sites in other canyons.

responsible for后面加的是个句子而且没有that宾语从句省了that

我感觉responsible for后面的不是句子，我的分析是：

responsible for the Anasazi who move from Mesa Verde to sites in other canyons.

who是省略的部分。Anasazi 是一种史前猿人。

请大家看看我这么分析对不？

not like that.

1. the cold weather can not be responsible for a person

2. the word "move" here is a noun.

Hence, the correct answer is still E.
