请问大全159题

1.        Based on accounts of various ancient writers, scholars have painted a sketchy picture of the activities of an all-female cult that, perhaps as early as the sixth century B.C., worshipped a goddess known in Latin as Bona Dea, “the good goddess.”

(A) Based on accounts of various ancient writers

(B) Basing it on various ancient writers’ accounts

(C) With accounts of various ancient writers used for a basis

(D) By the accounts of various ancient writers they used（E）

(E) Using accounts of various ancient writers

A 的 Based on accounts of various ancient writers 为什么不可以呢?

OG11解释：

In choice A, the introductory clause beginning Based on modifies scholars, the noun that immediately follows it: in other words, A says that scholars were based on the accounts of various ancient writers. Choice B is awkward and impre­cise in that the referent for the pronoun it is not immediately clear. C and D are also wordy and awkward, and in D By the accounts... they used is an unidiomatic and roundabout way of saying that scholars used me accounts. E, the best choice, is clear and concise; it correctly uses a present participle (or "-ing" verb) to introduce the modifier describing how the scholars worked.

我看了OG的说明了, 但是他没有说清楚呀, 我还是觉得Based on 也可以用的, "scholars were based on the accounts of various ancient writers" 很对嘛??

scholars是依靠或使用(basing on或using)古代记载，还是被古代记载所依靠或使用(based on)，判断一下哪个更合理？

另外，如果手上有刘振民的语法书看一下分词那章，应该会很有帮助。

我明白了, 是主被动的原因, basing on 就对了.
