11 如果用which的话，则从句修饰最近的n，即local times
43 我也选了D，一起问吧：）

11、B，local times---WAS，主谓不一致

43、D，To meet environmental regulations 没有合理的动作行使者，从句子看是the cost ，但这显然不符合逻辑

同意braveMBA 的解释。另外，by the end of the decade也有修饰is estimated 也就是作主句状语的嫌疑。

以下是引用5or6在2003-12-16 22:24:00的发言：
这道题C为什么不对WHICH指代TIMES
而用DETERMINED BY会不会产生歧义，the growth...,determined by....

C中的which were determined by ....... and differing不对称
因为有and,所以determine 和differ 的在句子中的作用就应该一致

E中的determined by and deffering都是后置定语修饰local times的
虽然一个是过去分词，一个是现在分词，但是作用是一致的

偶的理解是这样的，nn指点一下~

C) which were determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing
这里determined与differing是并列的，所以变成了“were differing”，时态错！
而E ，determined过去分词修饰最近的n.，不会产生歧意

c为which were determined by when the sun reached the observer'meridian and which were differing      and 之前为过去时，而之后为过去进行时，所以不一致。
