4. Perhaps the most significant postwar trend was the decentralization of cities throughout the United States, _________ when massive highway-building programs permitted greater suburban growth.
○and accelerated a phenomenon ○a phenomenon that accelerated ○accelerating a phenomenon which, ○the acceleration of which phenomenon
答案是b。请教: that accelerated做定语修饰phenomenon么? when-clause做什么成份呢? 全句大意是怎样子的,感觉好像很别扭?
偶认为,逗号后的成分,即phenomenon that accelerated .......在句中作主句表语的同位语,其解释作用。而accelerate 在这里是不及物动词,意思是increase or grow(大英百科全书),其主语是phenomenon。整个意思是,或许战后最重要的趋势是整个美国城市的去中心化,这种现象,在巨多的公路建设项目使得更多的郊区成长时随之也增长了。
