27. In the seventh century B.C., the Roman alphabet was adapted from the Etruscan
alphabet, which in turn had been adapted in the previous century from a western
Greek alphabet, which itself had been adapted earlier in the same century from the
Phoenician alphabet.
(A) which itself had been adapted earlier
(B) adapting itself earlier
(C) itself being adapted earlier
(D) having been earlier adapted itself
(E) earlier itself having been adapted


OG解释：
Rhetorical construction; Verb form; Logical predication
This sentence describes a string of adaptations of the alphabet, tracing back from
the seventh century BC through two points in the eighth century BC. Because the
latest of the three adaptations is temporally located in past tense, earlier
adaptations should be located in the past perfect tense.
A Correct. This sentence is properly constructed and uses the appropriate
verb forms for the relationships among the events that it describes.
B It is unclear what the participial phrase adapting itself earlier . . . refers to.
The present participle could be used for an event that was simultaneous
with, or part of, the event mentioned before the underlined portion.
However, it is inappropriate for describing an event that took place even
earlier than the seventh century BC, which has already been designated in
the sentence as past tense. The reflexive form adapting itself is nonsensical
in this sentence.
C The present tense of the reflexive participial phrase is inappropriate for
describing an event prior to the seventh century BC, given that the seventh
century BC has already been designated in the sentence as past tense.
D Without commas around itself, the pronoun appears to be reflexive. The
combination of passive and reflexive then makes no sense. If itself is
intended simply for emphasis, rather than as a reflexive pronoun, it would
be preferable, in this context, to set it off with commas. But if it were
intended in that way, it would seem to refer to the Roman alphabet, and the
claim made in the sentence would be confusing and nearly nonsensical. This
modifier is confusingly placed before the designation of time (in the same
century) and source (from the Phoenician alphabet).
E The adverb earlier is misplaced before the pronoun itself; it should be
immediately before the phrase in the same century.

此题里的itself是充当同位语吗？

可能是表强调的同位语？“，itself，”可删除忽略，避免了d选项adapted它自己的嫌疑，而是itself had been adapted from？

Itself. Themselves. One Another. Each Other
The Reflexive Pronouns itself and themselves are used as objects to refer directly back to the
subject: The panda groomed itself. Since you must use a reflexive pronoun to indicate when
the subject acts upon itself, another pronoun may be less ambiguous than you think.
Right: After the agreement surfaced, the commission dissolved IT.
It must refer to the agreement, because it cannot refer to the commission. If you wish to refer
to the commission, you must use itself. Note the difference in meaning below.
Right: After the agreement surfaced, the commission dissolved ITSElF.
Itself and themselves are also used to intensify a noun: The commission itself was wrong.
The Reciprocal Pronouns one another and each other are used to indicate interaction
between parties. These pronouns are not interchangeable with Themselves.
Wrong: The ~ at the party interacted with THEMSElVES.
Right: The ~ at the party interacted with ONE ANOTHER.
