28-24: Until the passage of the Piracy and Counterfeiting Amendments Act in 1982, a first-time charge of copyright infringement was merely a misdemeanor charge, federal prosecutors being unlikely in pursuing criminal copyright infringers, while offenders were subject to relatively small penalties.

A: charge, federal prosecutors being unlikely in pursuing criminal copyright infringers, while offenders were

B: charge, with federal prosecutors who were unlikely to pursue criminal copyright infringers, offenders being

C: charge, federal prosecutors unlikely to pursue criminal copyright infringers, while offenders were

D: charge; therefore, federal prosecutors were unlikely in pursuing criminal copyright infringers and offenders being

E: charge; therefore, federal prosecutors were unlikely to pursue criminal copyright infringers, and offenders were

我选了E,但总觉得C也对，大家都选了什么？

what's wrong with C?  missing "were"?

c的问题：

（1）在整个句子中，federal prosecutors unlikely to pursue criminal copyright infringers是什么成份？

（2）while在此作何解释？表对比转折还是什么呢？逻辑意思和词的位置都有问题。

应该是C。从语法角度讲C和E都是正确的。从逻辑意思上看C合理的多：在法案实施以前，违反版权法的罚款也是不过是轻描淡写，

C：原告不究而被告轻判。说明怎样的轻描淡写。

E：因此，原告不究而被告轻判。逻辑上并没有因果关系。

原句:...charge, and federal prosecutors are unlikely to pursue criminal copyright infringers, while offenders were subject to relatively small penalties.

獨立主格: ...charge, federal prosecutors being unlikely to pursue criminal copyright infringers, while offenders were subject to relatively small penalties.

being省略: ...charge, federal prosecutors unlikely to pursue criminal copyright infringers, while offenders were subject to relatively small penalties.

在句意中，表示對比的連接詞應該用while or whereas (or but), 不用and...

因此，C比E好...

独立主格修饰句子表原因或伴随，这里行不通。
