885section B
2.    Modern critics are amused by early scholars’ categorizing Tacitus’s Germania as an ethnographic treatise.
(A) scholars’ categorizing Tacitus’s Germania as
(B) scholars’ categorizing Tacitus’s Germania as if
(C) scholars, categorizing of Tacitus’s Germania as
(D) scholars who categorize Tacitus’s Germania as
(E) scholars who categorize Tacitus’s Germania if

the answer is A, mine is D
我现在觉得XDF 的答案是错的，试着把句中的被动句返成主动句，就是， scholars’ categorizing ….. amuse Modern critics. 逻辑不通嘛。

8.    One pervasive theory explains the introduction of breakfast cereals in the early 1900s as a result of the growing number of automobiles, which led to a decline in horse ownership and a subsequent grain glut; by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored.
(A) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored
(B) persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium
(C) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, it restored market equilibrium
(D) the persuasion of people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium
(E) market equilibrium was restored when people were persuaded to eat former horse feed

又不理解B为什么是答案了， persuading 的发起者是谁呢？？后半句话怎么和前半句连起来呢？？

10.    The work of mathematician Roger Penrose in the early 1970s, on the geometry of what are called aperiodic tiles, turned out to describe the architecture of a previously unknown class of crystals.
(A) what are called aperiodic tiles, turned out to describe
(B) what is called aperiodic tiles, describes
(C) aperiodic tiles, describing
(D) so-called aperiodic tiles, describe
(E) aperiodic tiles, it turned out to describe

为什么是A，不是B 呢？ A 不是主谓不一致嘛？on the geometry of what are called …….

是分类这件事AMUSED CRITICS，而不是学者本人。
后两道都是时态问题

The logical relationship is OK about answer A,

Sb's doing sth. amuseed Modern critics.
as to D,actually I made this mistake too, it said scholars amused Modern critics, and it is not the thing what the author want to say.

the subject of persuading is the sentence before the semicolon. read this sentence for a couple of times you will know what it is said.

10. The work of mathematician Roger Penrose in the early 1970s, on the geometry of what are called aperiodic tiles, turned out to describe the architecture of a previously unknown class of crystals.

subject is 'aperiodic tiles"

i agree with teh Lake
1, gerund can be a subject. sometimes, it's the thing itself that causes something else. the first 2 questions both r in this case. eg. Eating too much is not good for ur health.
2, pay attention to parallelism and tense

E答案错是因为the awkward passive voice吧？　OG上常常这样说.

第8题单单从划线部分句子本身来说确实是B最好，但是放在整个句子中，就不知道是什么意思，充当什么成分？

第10题describe的主语应该是the work of methematician，所以只有B是保持了主谓一致啊。为什么答案又不是B呢？

顶一下！！！
