一道真题，大家一起探讨：

In 1852 Robert Angus Smith published a detailed report of the chemistry of rain kin a large area around the city of Manchester, England, noting that the closer one came to the town, the more the city air would become increasingly acidic.  

A: that the closer one came to the town, the more the city air would become increasingly acidic

B: that the city air became increasingly acidic the closer one came to town

C: that coming closer to town, the city air became increasingly acidic

D: that the more the city air became increasingly acidic, the closer one was to town

E: the city air becoming increasingly acidic as one would come closer to twown

我在B和C之间琢磨不定， 请问应该选什么？

adelineyao

for discussion.

我选A.

B) 因果关系错位. the closer of the rain makes the city air more acidic

C) that ONE coming closer to town, coming closer 无主语. According to the structure, "coming closer" modifies that

D) 因果关系倒置

sunnybest

选A。

只有AD结构正确，但D因果倒置，排除D，选A

A 能这么表达吗？A的下半句似乎表达有问题，应该说the closer one came to the town, the more acidic the city air would become。

increasingly 和more有意思重复之嫌，没有必要用两个吧。我选B。前人做的答案是C

支持A,该结构只能放在句首

riverhouse MM 我同意你的说法 A increasingly 和more 意思重复明显重复

adelineyao

the more the city air would become increasingly acidic

the acidity of the city air is already increasing

but because of the rain coming closer --- > more air increasing acidity
