        A controversial figure throughout most of his public life, the Black leader Marcus Garvey advocated that some Blacks return to Africa, the land that, to him, symbolized the possibility of freedom.     A

(A) that some Blacks return to Africa, the land that, to him, symbolized the possibility of freedom

(B) that some Blacks return to the African land symbolizing the possibility of freedom to him

(C) that some Blacks return to Africa which was the land which symbolized the possibility of freedom to him

(D) some Black’s returning to Africa which was the land that to him symbolized the possibility of freedom（A）

(E) some Black’s return to the land symbolizing the possibility of freedom to him, Africa

看了以前的帖子 似乎没人讨论时态的问题...

A 中的 RETURN 为什么能一般现在时... 文章其他时态 都是过去时阿

如果说RETURN的事态是对的 A中SYMBOLIIZE的时态就有问题了阿

所以 我选B避免时态问题...

请指正 谢`

(A) that some Blacks return to Africa, the land that, to him, symbolized the possibility of freedom   这里的symbolized是什么语法现象阿？ 为什么不用symbolizing呢？

FiEdo

return那个地方是省略should的虚拟语气，定语从句用一般过去时与主句时态一直
