一点个人意见：

89 A中的 that the information be published 和哪句对称？和 whether ....? D 同位语结构， information 指带前半句所说的。

92 (D) The supply of oil being finite 中心词是 supply, 作主语逻辑上有问题。（being finite 不爽）
   (E) (The fact) That the supply of oil is finite 作主语表达正确。（the fact 是我为表述清楚加的， 个人感觉the fact that 的表达罗嗦， 只that就好）

94  result from/ result in 是标准表达， 清楚简洁；C 中的resulting，D中的that 指带不清。

请问同位语结构也可以指代前面的句子么，我只有人名和气他明词的同位语结构。你能举个简单的例子么？

92明白了

94中A的as a result of 行式也是对得呀，是不是因为BURNING 用的不对，应该用名词的好一点？

94。 as a result of 的形式没错， 用在这行不大通。as a result of .. 是 adv.， 不能修饰名词。burning 不如 combustion 表达的好。可参考OG 263 destroying/destruction 的解释，有点类似， “  Although an "-ing" verb such as destroying can sometimes act as a noun, in this case the usage is strained. ”

I know noun is good for the result and _ing is good for the prosecess

885-250-127.    eople who inherit the sickle cell anemia gene from only one parent seem to be resistant to malaria, an evolutionary advantage that may explain why a genetic condition so debilitating to many individuals has survived in the human population.
