Women are expected to be the majority of students entering law school thisfall, a trend ultimately

placing more women in leadership positions inpolitics and business.

(A) Women are expected to be the majorityof students entering law school this fall, a trend

ultimately placing

(B) The majority of students entering lawschool this fall are expected to be women, a trend that will

ultimately place

(C) The majority of students entering lawschool this fall are expected to be women, which will

ultimately place

(D) It is expected that the majority ofstudents entering law school this fall will be women, a trend

ultimately placing

(E) It is expected for women to be themajority of students entering law school this fall, which will

ultimately place

答案是C

A是这样解释的：同位语 a trend 的分词后置定语 placing，不能表现出即将发生的趋势，而是表达了一直发生的含义。

我因为a trend是同位语，一个名词+DOING是不能做同位语的，就排除A了。这样想对么？

C中的a majority of +名词复数   谓语要用 are吗？

取巧

补充一下：
同位结构的形式
1）名词性同位语：名词解释名词。N., n.; n., a/an + n.或 a/an + n., n.; the + n., n.（前面的 the + n
为同位结构）
2）内容具体化同位结构：抽象名词（theory/evidence/belief/principle）+that 从句，that 从句对抽象
名词进行具体化解释（注意与 of 结构的区别）
3）概括性同位语：用一个概括性的名词去概括前面的修饰对象：短语/句子，a program/information/an
effort/a practice that...
4）名词重复性同位结构：n,n（重复所修饰的名词）+that 定语从句或者 n. , the same n.(重复所修饰的名词) that…
5）代词代替性同位结构：n,one/ones+that 定语从句

并没有n,n+doing

Women are expected to be the majorityof students entering law school this fall, a trend

ultimately placing


这是独立主格结构， 不是同位语。独立主格没有谓语
