疑惑：对于答案我没有什么异议。但是对于A和D选项中 As从句的解释很是疑惑。
A选项：国外网站的instructor说，as indicated in 是省略结构，省略了主语和be动词，省略对象是church。理由是：A verbless clause【省略句】 should be AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to the implied subject. 但是我却很疑惑，为什么这里不能省略的是主句中的structure呢？


D选项：根据OG的解释，AS从句中indicates的可能主语是orientation and plan as well as artifacts，但是由于agreement的问题，给排除了。我的疑惑是：那这样的话，AS从句不就相当于倒装了吗？为什么要用倒装呢？主语为什么不是structure呢？





以上两个问题，麻烦请教大家，欢迎大家讨论，谢谢大家！
