答案是C 想问E差在哪里?答案说although引导的从句awkward and unclear, 大家能否解释下这怎么讲?
This is an explanation I took from my GMAT instructor:
"Although" is used to separate clauses with verbs. Look at the additive phrase "with stationary crests and troughs although they are formed by rapidly moving air" in E), the subordinator "although" is used after a prepositional phrase, "with stationary crests and troughs", while in C), a clause "crests and troughs that remain stationary" is used before "although". Therefore, E) is incorrect.
