For many revisionist historians, Christopher Columbus has come topersonify devastation and enslavement in the name of progress thathas decimated nativepeoples of the Western Hemisphere.

A. ！devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere

B. devastation and enslavement in the name of progress bywhich native peoples of the Western Hemispheredecimated

people自己decimated，错

C. devastating and enslaving in the name of progress those nativepeoples of the Western Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.Those前面没有指代，第一次提到不能用those

D. devastating and enslaving those native peoples of the westernHemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.

E. the devastation and enslavement in the name of progress（不可数） thathave decimated the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere.



我的疑问：B为什么错了？它的解释我不是很懂。我理解的是native people decimated by the devastation,没觉得people自己decimated啊

有道理的说，把by which看成指代progress 就解释的通B为什么错了。而且我发现我有时候会犯这种错，native people decimated by the devastation即使没有be动词我总把他当成被动

按照你的理解，这句话应该改为

native peoples were/has been  decimated by the progress

改为被动语态

另外我觉得that/by which等等指代的都是progress
