这是OG解答
Logical predication; Grammatical construction; Rhetorical construction The intended meaning of the sentence is that the rapid movement of people across North America is one explanation of the similarity of Thule artifacts throughout a vast region. As worded, however, the sentence is illogical: The sentence indicates that the similarity in artifacts was a rapid movement of people, which makes no sense. Instead of equating similarity with movement, the sentence needs to identify this movement of people as a cause of similarity among artifacts.
A As worded, this version of the sentence makes the illogical statement that the similarity among artifacts is explainable as a very rapid movement. It should specify that the similarity of artifacts may be a consequence of the rapid population movement.
B This version of the sentence is syntactically awkward, and leaves unclear what the main subject, one explanation is supposed to be an explanation of.
C Like (A), this version of the sentence equates the similarity of artifacts with the movement of people, when a causal connection is what is intended. D Correct. This version adequately expresses the intended causal connection.
E This version is awkward, introducing the causal connection with the unnecessarily wordy and indirect string of prepositional phrases, with one explanation for this. . . .
1.为什么OG上对A的句意解释是 “相似是迁移的结果” 我理解的A的句意是 “相似是迁移” 这二者有什么区别吗? 是不是as的意思导致了解读句意的不同,OG解释AS做‘因为’的意思,而我理解的as 是当 ‘作为’ 的意思 到底应该是那种呀?
2.关于B选项,有NN能解释一下吗?虽然知道他不对,可是就是不知道怎么说它到底如何错的,OG解答完全不理解的样子。 关于B选项前面这个修饰语还有些疑惑,being前面的 Thule artifacts 在语法结构上是做什么的,暗示了什么。这个可以把这个Thule artifacts being remarkably similar throughout a vast region当initial modifier来看吗? Being在这里到底是什么性质?
这个解释 有点厉害,懂了 谢谢。
主要是对A be explained as B 的理解。
如果理解为 B以解释A,那么 逻辑上说的通。
但是如果知道 A be explained as B , B 是A的另外一种说法。即 A 是 B,那么 相似性是运动 就很奇怪。
对于C 选项,that 这句话 是运动 ,逻辑错。

A. The remarkable similarity of Thule artifacts throughout a vast region can, in part, be explained as --- ‘explained as’ is wrong in the context it should be ‘explained by’
B. Thule artifacts being remarkable similar throughout a vast region (no verb), one explanation is—‘being remarkable’ used as modifier is not acceptable
C. That Thule artifacts are remarkable similar throughout a vast region, in part, explainable as – a fragment
D. One explanation for the remarkable similarity of Thule artifacts through a vast region is that there was – the best choice
E. Throughout a vast region Thule artifacts are remarkable similar, with one explanation for this being –
Remarkable similar – two adjectives in sequence is weird, it should be ‘remarkably similar’
