OG85 倒装句不明

85. Out of America's fascination with all things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.

(A)  things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing

(B)  things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing

(C)  things that are antiques has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring

(D)  antique things have grown a market for bygone
                styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing

(E)   antique things has grown a market for bygone
                styles of furniture and fixtures that bring

Choice B is best. In A and D, have grown does not agree with the singular noun market. In addition, all of the choices except B use plural verbs after that, thus illogically stating either that bygone styles of furniture and fixtures, or fixtures alone, are reviving the particular pieces mentioned; it is instead the market for those styles that is bringing back such pieces, as B states. Furthermore, choices C and E, by using the verb form bring, fail to convey the ongoing nature of the revival properly described by the progressive verb is bringing.

这个倒装句看不明。。。为什么要用倒装呢

还有在B中 that is bring修饰a market，可以离这么远吗？that不是应该紧跟在修饰语后面吗？

没人睬我啊

用倒装，当然是为了增加考试难度;) 倒装的作用是把最想突出的成分放到句子的最前方

正过来看：a market ( for bygone styles of furniture and textures that is bringing....) has grown out of america's fascination with all things antique

你不觉得这样句子很啰嗦么？that 不一定要紧跟修饰成分阿，which/who等的w词，一般是紧跟修饰成分的，因为有限定性

estherpeter

that是限定性的啊 which可以做非限定性成分 不是吗

按照GMAT的考试规则，应该是就近修饰没错。但是，这句话的定从“that is bringing back ... bathtub”是修饰“market”的；之前的“bygone styles of furniture and fixtures”不是动词“bring”的动作发出者。
