B.        if it is
C.        if they are
D.        when
E.        when it is
答案是选C 按照单复数其实很好理解  但是有一点疑问是 it's allowed that 难道不是一个惯用的搭配么 而且句子中动作的发出者也不一定是restores呀。。。真的想不清楚

D.        of the intellectual quality of publications being diminished by the use of pictures by journalists,

关于AB选项 他的解释一直都是 indrect  我实在不是很能理解indrect 和direct  为什么the use of 就是一种direct的表达方式呢

第一题，整个句子就像是古迹恢复者在自我叙事一样“他们说.....如果他们可以......”这种一致性的表达难道不好过其他形式吗？另外从语法上说，it's allowed that 放在这里就不能硬性的理解为固定搭配了，allow谁去做什么？it指代什么？

第二题，直接的表述就是“xxx diminish xx”, 用一个句子表达最简单，而不是从句。
