Where once the union had acquiesced to the prejudices of its English-speaking members by supporting the imposition of an alien tax on immigrant workers, after 1897 the United Mine Workers made a determined effort to enlist Italians and Slavs in its ranks.
(A) Where once the union had acquiesced to the prejudices of its English-speaking members by supporting
(E) While once the union had acquiesced to the prejudices of its English-speaking members in its supporting of
      
       我觉得这里E正确，因为Aby supporting的逻辑主语可以理解为members

       这还让我想起一道机经：就是in its attempt to 和 in attempting to 那道
       那道题目我觉得应该也是in its attempt to ，因为涉及了太多对象，不能确定逻辑主语
       请牛人指点

supporting of不对，OF多余。
另外，in its supporting of也不如by supporting达意、合乎规范。

dreadpower

那么in its attempt to 和 in attempting to 那道机经呢？？

gemj

结构不一样。

这题我明白了，谢谢斑竹

     另：那斑竹认为那道机经的答案是哪个？？

gemj

我倾向于in its attempt to。

dreadpower

我也倾向于那个答案，谢谢斑竹

请讲讲where once,while once的用法区别。

donna

这里的once是修饰语，并非固定搭配。
所以主要是while从句与 where从句作状语的区别，前者一般引导时间状语从句，后者一边作为地点状语从句。

我還是不懂，為何（A）正確？ 如果where當地点状语是對的，後面的子句並沒有提到任何地點啊，請問怎解釋呢
