In a plan to stop the erosion of East Coast beaches, the Army Corps of Engineers proposed building parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks that would rise six feet above the waterline and act as a buffer, so that it absorbs the energy of crashing waves and protecting the beaches.
(A) act as a buffer, so that it absorbs
(B) act like a buffer so as to absorb
(C) act as a buffer, absorbing
(D) acting as a buffer, absorbing
(E) acting like a buffer, absorb
答案是D,我选了A. 请问为什么A不好?我觉得A表达意思更清晰,it 指代breakwater..
而D项的absorbing可以被理解为状语修饰前句,或修饰buffer,问题是我觉得两者都不对,我觉得absorbing是break water发出的,而不是整个句子,更不是buffer,
请指教! |
