不好意思，问个03年就被讨论过的题－SECTION-A:7

catking2003

7.     Dental caries and gingivitis can be exacerbated not only by the foods patients eat but also by when the patients eat them.

(A) not only by the foods patients eat but also by when the patients eat them

(B) by not only the foods patients eat but also by when the patients eat them

(C) not only by the foods patients eat but also by time when the foods are eaten

(D) by not only the foods that are eaten by patients but also by the times the foods are eaten（E）

(E) not only by what patients eat but also by when they eat it

虽然大家讨论了半天，我还是没有看出不能选C的理由，说它redundant就把它排除掉好像不太人道吧，毕竟redundant是相对错误，而E的it要说是指代what，能不能举个例子，实际上ETS对it的指代好像也很严格的，就算是一个名词也不是随随便便就可以被指代的，好像要是这个名词是所有格的词：名词‘s  就不行what 在这里连名词都不是，只是代词吧，代词指代词的情况可以吗？不要拿阅读的和逻辑的例子，因为ETS自己在阅读逻辑里就经常违反自己的语法规则。

C中TIME前没有定冠词THE，E的对称非常完美，IT指代没有任何问题，因为所谓代词是指代读者清楚知道的物体，即前文中出现的物体，此处如果用FOODS反而不如用IT(WHAT是单数）来得好，而且IT完全没有歧义，注意只有在有歧义滴情况下不能用代词~~

另外，C也不是很对称，也嫌啰嗦乐，C中要么前面被出WHAT，要么后面省略WHEN为好~~
