(B) Despite no foods having been proved to reverse hardening of the arteries when consumed, studies indicate that refraining from eating certain foods can
(C) Although the consumption of no particular foods have been proved to reverse hardening of the arteries, studies indicate that to refrain from eating certain foods could

(E) Although it has not been proved that the consumption of any particular food will reverse hardening of the arteries, studies indicate that refraining from eating certain foods can

答案E。这题我最初做是对了。但直到现在，觉得自己做这题的思路不清晰，时而情态动词，时而句子结构。想请问，这题最清晰有效的解题思路？

A、DESPITE NO PROOF THAT是模糊的表达，感觉应该是depite on evidence to prove that...，因为句子意思是没有证据表明BLABLA，而THAT从句使得BLABLA变成了证据本身。
B、Despite no foods having been proved to reverse 是立即排除的选项，WORDY
C、错误明显，the consumption... have been，而且the comsumption of no particular foods是比较模糊的表达，不是句子想表达的意思。
D、从句的逻辑主语STUDIES带入后不合理。

从ETS的PREFER来看：
1、当DESPITE和ALTHOUGH同时出现时，ETS倾向于ALTHOUGH，因为它认为这种表达要比DESPITE+NOUN表达要清晰，事实也是如此。
2、尽量先把握句子意思，带着这个意思去判断有时比个别语法点判断更有效

认为此题象实战题目，需要认真体会。
个人意见

brunhild

五个选项读下来，E最顺，且：
A，the consumtion…………reverse?? 动词应该单数
B，foods having been proved??   分词的完成时态修饰作定语不合语法
C，D主要毛病同A

just my opinion.

从哪点判断这种表达是wordy

请教一个问题,indicate  与 could 时态冲突,是不是可以排除a , c  呢?

还是could  表示可能性,上句用could 和can 都可以?
