99.   (29845-!-item-!-188;#058&004015)



A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period.



(A) that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing

(B) that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in

(C) that creatures of the seabed were suffering because of food supplies, which were dwindling possibly as a result of increasing

(D) creatures of the seabed that were suffering from food supplies that were dwindling, possibly resulting from an increase in

(E) creatures of the seabed that were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, which possibly resulted from increasing

OMA:B

我的疑惑在A和B之间。这是我第二次做这道题，第二次我觉得凭语感我会选B。但是我不知道为什么A错。我看了有人说是suffer from错，但是我不觉得啊……我查了一下牛津进阶词典。里面的例句是Many companies are suffering from a shoratege of skilled staff. 感觉跟这个的suffering没什么区别。那么应该是possibly resulting from increasing错了？那这是哪错了？请高人赐教啊！

我在判断A和B的时候，是考虑到increase本身有名称形式，而名词形式要优于动名词，所以B表达好一些！

1)  possibly resulting from increasing 可以看作状语修饰主句谓语，也可以看作定语修饰food supplies。 所以有歧义。而 as + 短语肯定是做状语修饰前面句子的谓语， 没有歧义。
2）increasing 表示动作现在还在进行。 用在这不是很合适。

但是不是很明白这里是否b的becasue 从句一定比a的suffer from好？！
