求助OG第十题

D选项是错的，解释之一是theory hold the beginning to be an instant that中的that修饰的是begining，我不明白为什么修饰的不是instant，是因为that可以跳过直接修饰核心词吗？然后这里的instant 不是核心词？

亲，代词指代作为首选split是有风险的，因为gmat允许适度的指代不清

(⊙v⊙)嗯，这个选A我没意见，D选项肯定指代错了噻。我就是想弄明白错在哪，万一以后成考点了

我给你贴个题把
10.The widely accepted big bang theory holds that the universe began in an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago and has been expanding ever since.

(A) that the universe began in an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago and has been expanding

(B) that the universe had begun in an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago and had been expanding

(C) that the beginning of the universe was an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago that has expanded

(D) the beginning of the universe to have been an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago that is expanding

(E) the universe to have begun in an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago and has been expanding

D选项，单纯从语法角度来讲我觉得修饰的是an explosive instant。举个例子，Apple is a fruit that can be eaten. 语法角度来讲修饰的是fruit。但是我觉得这个题不必纠结于这个错误选项的语法结构吧，语法是为逻辑服务的。根据句子逻辑，宇宙的开始和延续扩张是两个有明显先后时间顺序的动作，理解了这个之后就直接排除DCE，再根据时态就可以快速圈定A了。

咦，LZ有些明白了。不过有一点，核心词怎么定义的呢？楼主理解为非修饰成分，去掉之后句子结构会不完整。不知道对不对呢
