62. Because she knew many of the leaders of colonial America and the American Revolution personally, Mercy Otis Warren was continually at or near the center of political events from 1765 to 1789, a vantage point combining with her talent for writing to make her one of the most valuable historians of the ear

(a) a vantage point combining with her talent for writing to make

(b) a vantage point, when combined with her talent for writing, that made

(c) a vantage point that combined with her talent for writing, and it made

(d) and this vantage point, which combined with her talent for writing to make

(e) and this vantage point, combined with her talent for writing, made

 

A: combining用被动比较好, combining 表动作过程，combined表状态结果

B: when combined状语从句应该在that以内，否则没有修饰对象

C: combined用被动，it没有指代对象

D: and后面句子不完整

E: correct

 

注意：

1、             同位语从句如果想表达复杂的意思，用并列句更完整一些

2、             Combine等一些动词更适合用被动表达

我选A, 请问除了上述错误。A还有别的问题吗？

排除A，B，C因为主语是人不是point。

“a vantage point combining with her talent for writing to make” 中 “to make”的修饰歧义，可修饰writing。

排除A，B，C因为主语是人不是point。

有宾语同位语存在，不能排除
