OG12-6 关于OG上的解释

6.  In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the
Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for
cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled by
tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so
that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus
was growing on the walls.
(A)  due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which
raised its humidity to such levels so that salt
from the stone was crystallizing
(B)  due to moisture that tourists had exhaled,
thereby raising its humidity to such levels that
salt from the stone would crystallize
(C)  because tourists were exhaling moisture, which
had raised the humidity within them to levels
such that salt from the stone would crystallize
(D)  because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists
raising the humidity within them to levels so high
as to make the salt from the stone crystallize
(E)  because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised
the humidity within them to such levels that salt
from the stone was crystallizing

关于OG上的解释，CD两项都认为them有修饰tourists的歧义存在

问题：为什么E选项不存在歧义呢？希望有人指点下

我也对此题不解，谢谢ls的解释~

米祈

我觉得是(C)中tourists是because后面句子的主语，代词优先指代tourists

(D)中moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them 这里的raising the humidity within them紧接着tourists的发起者，them亦优先指代靠近它的主语tourists了

E)the chambers were closed because moisture (exhaled by tourists) had raised the humidity within them 这里的tourists地位极低，them应该优先指代先行词吧

我发过帖问这个啊！！

因为代词优先指代句中的主语吧

because tourists were exhaling moisture, which
had raised the humidity within them  

because 接完整句子，句中主语是tourists

可是D选项呢 OG说D中的them也有指代tourists的歧义，如果这样推断，那E选项也是有歧义的了
