41. Under a provision of the Constitution that was never applied. Congress has been required to call a conven­tion for considering possible amendments to the document when formally asked to do it by the legisla­tures of two-thirds of the states.

(A)  was never applied, Congress has been required to call a convention for considering possible amendments to the document when formally asked to do it

(B)   was never applied, there has been a requirement that Congress call a convention for consider­ation of possible amendments to the document when asked to do it formally

(C)  was never applied, whereby Congress is required to call a convention for considering possible amendments to the document when asked to do it formally

(D)  has never been applied, whereby Congress is required to call a convention to consider possible amendments to the document when formally asked to do so

(E)   has never been applied. Congress is required to call a convention to consider possible amend­ments to the document when formally asked to do so

Choices A, B, C, and D contain tense errors (the use of was never applied with has been required in A, for example), unidiomatic expressions (call... for considering), and uses of a pronoun (it) with no noun referent. By introducing the subordinating conjunction whereby, C and D produce sentence fragments. Only E, the best choice, corrects all of these problems. The predicate has never been applied refers to a span of time, from the writing of the Constitution to the present, rather than to a past event (as was does), and the

phrase is required indicates that the provision still applies. The phrase call... to consider is idiomatic, and to do so can substitute grammatically for it.

不知道是不是我的电子版本的错误,E选项里has never been applied后面是句号,怎么可能对呢!!!!还有ets给的解释说D有时态错误,可明明D和E的区别就是逗号,句号,还有D里面多了一个WHEREBY啊!FT!@!#$#

望大虾指点一下的说

多谢哦！

我明白D的whereby用的不对，我的问题是为什么ets的解释里说d选项里的时态不对呢Choices A, B, C, and D contain tense errors

我是不是太专牛角尖拉，晕
