[求助]OG220，抓狂了

220. For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788, England exiled some 160,000 criminals to Australia.

(A) For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788,

(B) Beginning in 1788 for a period of a hundred years,

(C) Beginning a period of almost a hundred years, in 1788

(D) During a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788,

(E) Over a period of a hundred years beginning in 1788,

Aside from being wordy and awkward, choice A is illogical: because its refers grammatically to England, A states nonsensically that England had its beginning in 1788. Choice B is similarly illogical, because the initial verb phrase Beginning in 1788 ... modifies England, the subject of the main clause. Choice C is imprecise, saying that England in 1788 was Beginning a period... but not conveying the sense that anything happened within that period. Choice D is awkward and unidiomatic, and nonsensically suggests that a hundred years is defined as a period beginning in 1788. Precise and idiomatically phrased, choice E is best.

加粗的部分实在看的头大, 自己用中文造个句子: 中国开始了它闭关锁国的100年, 翻译到E文不就是China begins its ...?

为什么OG说不行?

B,C肯定不行，当分词短语放在句首时，分词的逻辑主语是句子的主语

这个我知道, 但是感觉就算是那England作主语, 也没有什么理解困难啊?

先谢过了.

B.Beginning in 1788 for a period of a hundred years...中beginning in 1788

说的是一段时间的开始,不是England开始...

都是我不好, 把这里拓展成了中英双语语法版了. 老大该不会把我炒了吧?

"妈呀, 都开始讨论哲学了"--换换大脑, 生活中有很多东西比GMAT更重要的.
