这里的大类别是修饰语，关于修饰语的规则非常严格。如果你想修饰一个名词，修饰词和被修饰者（我发明的词）必须接触。
你不可避免地看到的第一个分裂（除了前面的动词时态问题，我们还可以讨论）是 "whose"与 "with"。"whose"是一个相对代词，只能用于修饰名词。这意味着，"whose"最好紧挨着它所修饰的事物。不幸的是，在A、B和C中，它修饰的是 "shallows"。这没有任何意义，原因很明显。
"with"是一个介词，也是一个修饰短语。然而，这个短语不是修饰鳄鱼（如你所想），而是修饰 "lurking"。确定被修饰的内容的一个方法是问自己这个修饰短语所回答的是什么问题。换句话说，你不能用这个修饰语来回答一个关于鳄鱼的问题（"鳄鱼在做什么？" "With eyes and noses peeking out" -- 这没有意义）。但是你可以回答 "鳄鱼是如何潜伏的？"这个问题。"With eyes and noses peeking out"）。我们在修饰一个动词，而动词修饰语不需要接触它们所修饰的动词。
在D和E之间，D只是更简洁（没有理由引入相对代词 "that"；它只是使意思更复杂）。
另外，在这里没有理由使用除了现在时以外的任何时态。注意原来的动词 "participate"，它是现在时，然后问问自己是否有什么好的理由来改变时态。没有。答案是D。

1. D 错选A
ABC whose就近修饰的不是crocodile，而是shallow
2. B
there is和is无法排除答案
E中providing fresh water修饰beach，语义错误
5. E
In addition, it is illogical to test a lake or stream "for mercury levels": this implies that one is testing to see whether mercury levels exist，test for sth指的是测试有没有mecury level，语义不合理，无法测试一个level
6. E 错选C
没懂
7. D 错选E
未划线部分有it，只能指代runway
8. B 错选C
who只能修饰人，不能修饰动物
