622.    Scientists have observed large concentrations of heavy-metal deposits in the upper twenty centimeters of Baltic Sea sediments, which are consistent with the growth of industrial activity there.
(A) Baltic Sea sediments, which are consistent with the growth of industrial activity there
(B) Baltic Sea sediments, where the growth of industrial activity is consistent with these findings
(C) Baltic Sea sediments, findings consistent with its growth of industrial activity
(D) sediments from the Baltic Sea, findings consistent with the growth of industrial activity in the area
(E) sediments from the Baltic Sea, consistent with the growth of industrial activity there
这道题我的思路不是很清楚
麻烦大家帮帮忙～
答案是D

深海的小美人鱼

在这里 A， which修饰的应该是findings， 而不是which前面的Baltic Sea sediments，这里指代不清
B用WHERE根本不对

而且Baltic Sea sediments不如 sediments from the Baltic Sea准确，前者似乎是说所有的sediments

C种its growth 中its指代不清

E同样的错误  sediments from the Baltic Sea, consistent with the growth of industrial activity there

consisitent 的主语应该是findings

有个问题还是非常地confused:  

findings consistent with...到底是同位语,还是独立主格结构???

我个人偏向于认为是同位语,相当于findings (that are) consistent with...

OG Verbal Review上说findings refers back to
   the scientists' observations. 貌似也是在暗示这是同位语从句.现在的关键就是搞清楚同位语是否能指代一句话,之前看到的例子都是有明显指代物的. 

例:OG11-72,110,114    VerbalReview-16,77

NNs,help!

首先这里一看就能排除ABC，因为Baltic  Sea是专用名词，必须加the.

在D和E中，这是独立主格结构，名词+adj, 说明consistent with 是修饰前面的那个调查结果的。

E 如果直接就是形容词那就是做伴随的状语，逻辑主语是句子的主语。
