这是道棘手的题,考点非常分散
我错选了C,看完讨论确定答案为D
A中paying不对,这个大家没有什么争议。
争议从B开始,但B中for which的which后面引出定语从句中缺少主语,如果改为for which $7 was previously paid per year才可以考虑。
下面是几个
for which 的例句供参考
Like the thorny ballooning of a frightened pufferfish or the sudden appearance of angry sapphire hoops
for which the blue-ringed octopus is named, the California newt's display of its red underbelly is a clear warning that predators ignore at their peril.
As U.S. nuclear attack submarines prowl their familiar haunts deep within the oceans of the world these days, they increasingly are engaged in missins far different from the tasks
for which they were built and
for which their crews were trained over the last forty years. (E-P65-24)
During the recession of 1973, home mortgage foreclosures resulted in tens of thousands of Americans being evicted from homes
for which they could no longer afford monthly payments.
C读上去很顺,但previously $7,副词直接加名词,确实说不过去。
当初排除D是因为“, instead of”这种用法没见过,后来找到了几个例句说明这种用法没有问题。
With Massa’s departure, House Democrats need 216 votes
, instead of 217, to pass health care legislation.
Cuomo, who is widely expected to run for governor this year, has called for putting the pension fund under the control of a board of trustees
, instead of the comptroller.
''This 'restoration' has been done in a very unprofessional way,'' Schweizer said in an e-mail message sent to the AP. ''Too many stones had been changed
, instead of restoring.
E中的contribute for用在这里不合适。
大家对比一下contribute money toward sth. 和contribute money for sth.的区别就知道了。
前者的意思是“contribute money 给(toward) sth.”,而后者的意思是“为了(for) sth. 而contribute money”
题目本意应该用contribute money toward sth.

楼主很强大,但是我有个疑问,你举的的关于instead of的例子多是可以很明显的看出来是紧邻它要修饰的对象的,但是在这道题目中,instead of要修饰的对象是不是离的有点远了啊。。
