我觉得这题从意思上去理解：商业化肥的应用和灌溉，所以只有E是合适的。我也选了D，但是og解释我觉得经典，D里面的容易歧义。如果application是主语，后面用was，那这么解释：A）商业化肥和灌溉的应用，还是B）商业化肥的应用，和灌溉？所以有歧义的。如果是A解释，那用was,如果是B解释，那就要用were了。

大家认为呢？

问个问题,that引导限制性定语从句,要求紧跟先行词,在E选项中"application of commercial fertilizer"按语法要求,that 不是应该修饰commercial fertilzer,咋么修饰了"irrigation and application",在 a and b of c结构中是否没有该要求.

caterpillar

irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer that were required by earlier high-yielding varieties
定语从句中的谓语were决定了它是修饰前面的irrigation and application, 如果仅修饰application就应该用单数了。

A of B,后面的动作可说明A也可说明B，这题中WAS用来说明application，不行吗？谢谢。

当然可以，但是就是因为“也可以“ 所以原句会造成歧义，所以不能选啊。

而且og解释说得很清楚：D, the phrase application of... fertilizer and irrigation is ambiguous in meaning: it cannot be clearly determined whether applying fertilizer and irrigating are a single operation or two distinct operations。

这句话也可以理解成application of fertilizer与irrigation(后面有that定于从句修饰）并列
也可以理解为就是你所说的那样application是由fertilizer and irrigation这两个组成的 a single operation ，所以说D答案 cannot be clearly determined 。。。。

我是这样理解的

When I was doing this question, I felt "costly requirements xxxx" very uncomfortable, so I immediately eliminated A, B, C. And then since both application of xxx + irrigation were BOTH required by the earlier high-yielding varieties, I immediately eliminated D because the right answer gotta to contain the verb "were". I didn't even bother to think of whether it's (I+A) of C or I+ (AofC)

I don't know if I did it by luck or this is the right way.

to valarie：靠感觉去做题是平时的一种积累，也是一种很好的方法，但这里的costly是形容词：（比较正式）昂贵的，损失严重的，所以如果仅凭costly requirements 就删掉答案有些运气在里面。

而你认为“And then since both application of xxx + irrigation were BOTH required by the earlier high-yielding varieties, I immediately eliminated D because the right answer gotta to contain the verb "were”。我觉得意思上的理解是一个不错的方法。

仔细又看了一下这道题感觉E也有歧异“1 灌溉与商用化肥的应用were

                                                               2商务化肥的灌溉与应用 were

谢谢NN指教

我有一個很阿Q的想法

或許是 a and b of c是老外的慣用法吧

請指教
