The Federal Reserve bond buyback program has buoyed Wall Street, (E) and helped the stock market reach record highs, but has not translated into consistent job growth across the country.
(D) and helped the stock market reach record highs, but it has yet to translate into consistent job growth across the country
D
在(E)中，不能说：the reserve has buoyed, and helped, but yet to translate or but has not translated。因为第一部分后面有 "and"，所以必须在 "but"之后创建一个新的分句。 在(B)中，"the program has buoyed, helped... but it has"--这是不正确的，因为前两个动词是并列的，不能在最后一个分句中出现it。只有(D)句子结构正确，表达了逻辑上的意思：the program has buoyed Wall Street, and helped the stock market, but it has yet to translate...." 在 "Wall Street"和 "and"之间的逗号似乎很不寻常，但它的存在是为了表明后面的内容是与第一个分句有关的额外信息：the buyback has buoyed Wall Street, and(as a result) helped the stock market reach record highs, but it has yet to do this.

Although Belize borders Guatemala and Mexico, countries in which tortillas are served with nearly every dish, (A) Belizeans typically eat their meals with rice, and tortillas are rare.
(E) Belizeans typically eat their meals with rice, with tortillas as a rarity
A- "and tortillas are rare" adds a new subject (tortilla) and description (they're rare) that doesn't link to the rest of the sentence. This isn't logical (it's as if the sentence says "Belizeans typically eat their meals with rice and penguins can't fly" - the "and" clause just doesn't relate)
