Due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, researchers have determined that there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, and that these leopards are thus many times as rare as
                China's giant pandas.

 

(A) Due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, researchers have determined that there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, and that these leopards are thus many times as rare as

(B) Due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, researchers have determined, making them many times more rare than

(C) There are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, researchers have determined, which makes the leopards many times more rare compared to

(D) Researchers have determined that, because of being poached and increased cultivation in their native habitats, there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, thus making them many more times as rare as

(E) Researchers have determined that, because of poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, and that these leopards are thus many times more rare than

E

不会有歧义么？B为什么不对呢？

B的意思变了,因为插入语修饰的是前面部分的 fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild,而不是整个句子,而句子的意思是想表达research determine了两个方面

其实你可以看到每个选项的they都是这样的,B也有them,所以考点不在这,个人觉得指代这个东西ETS自己都没说明白过

还有,个人觉得Due to用在句首一般都不是优选选项

对于,B的making,不知道对不对

(A) Due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, researchers have determined that there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, and that these leopards are thus many times as rare as

E) Researchers have determined that, because of poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, and that these leopards are thus many times more rare than

我的疑惑是：A 和E那个更好的问题。

我感觉考点好像是：many times 后面应该+ more than ，加as 。。as好像是语义不通。

我当时做的时候，觉得既然ETS把线就化到了as rare as，后面的china什么的那么几个单词为什么不弄个全化线，估计就是想这个考点的。

除了这个以外，我觉得A也没什么问题。

请NN指教。

...times as...as...的结构没有问题的

A选项错在句子的逻辑关系,Due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats是there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild的原因,不是researchers have determined that 的原因

Due to这里使用没有问题

至于指代歧意,我说过多次,参考一条:当一个单词可以指代多个名词时,优先指代离它近的那个

请问:E中的这个their有没有歧义呢？就近指代的话，应该指代researchers.

解释说B的researchers have determined导致了后面making的修饰歧义.

我不明白这部分不是做插入语吗？那怎么会导致歧义呢？

B C 答案中的 researchers have determined做什么成分？

D答案中的making能不能看作伴随状语，就像有道题将鸟的迁徙（伴随状好像是这样），用bringing做伴随状语
