答案是B，不太明白为什么FAMILY能用 WHOSE指代。


177.  (Believed to originate from a small area on their foreheads, elephants emit
low-frequency sounds that may be used ) as a 'secret language" to communicate with other members of the herd.

B  Elephants emit low-frequency sounds that are believed to originate from a small area on their foreheads, and they may use this

C  Elephants emit low-frequency sounds, believed to originate from a small area on their foreheads, that they may use

D  Originating, it is believed, from a small area on their foreheads; elephants emit low-frequency sounds they may use

E  Originating, it is believed, from a small area on their foreheads; low-frequency sounds are emitted by elephants that may be used.

答案是C，不太明白为什么B不行，C中先行词与指代词隔那么远，这样的说法会比C更
好吗？

180.  (At the invitation of) KN, Du Bois settled in Gh and became the editor of the
Encyclopedia Africana.

B  When he was invited by
C  An invitation coming from
D  An invitation that came from

答案是 A，我选的E，不明白A这是一种什么用法。

whose members作family的定语从句阿，完全没问题
第二题没把握，不过可能是b的they指带不清吧，况且c没问题阿
be太罗嗦,cd句子的重心偏移了

180.  (At the invitation of) KN, Du Bois settled in Gh and became the editor of the
Encyclopedia Africana.

B  When he was invited by
C  An invitation coming from
D  An invitation that came from
E  After having an invitation by  

我觉得E项有点复杂化了，AT THE INVITATION OF 介词短语就可以表达出“一接到邀请”的含义了。

多谢斑竹！
第一个我还是不明白，为什么没问题。
whose不是应该接在表示人的词后面吗？
如果family在这作”家人“的意思的话，
那前面为什么用into呢，into不是后只接表地点或空间的词吗？
这些问题在你们看来可能很可笑，不值得回答，
可我是真的不明白，才费很大力把题一个字一个字的敲进来，
我现在是家庭妇女，又在美国，身边一个可以讨论的人都没有，
我也是实在没有办法才提问的，对你们的帮助也非常感激，耽误你们的时间也非常抱歉。
只是希望，在方便的情况下，能否再说得详细些呢？

无论如何，很感谢你们的帮助！！

答案是C，不太明白为什么B不行，C中先行词与指代词隔那么远，这样的说法会比C更
好吗？
B的they指代不明，因为有两个复数名词在前面，ELEPHANTS & SOUNDS,而且THAT ARE BELIEVED 可以简化成BELIEVED TO BE直接跟在SOUNDS 后面指代明确。
