A好，虽然A很长，但是修饰关系都很清楚"regardless..."里的their，很好地对应接下来的objects，

然后是since 1788，后面紧跟着接when定语从句

而C，简单的结构是called...objects...boomerangs，可是objects前后都有修饰词，最主要的”谓语+宾语+补语“ 不清晰，另外，后面的regardless...里的their也指代不清，是指non-Australians, objects还是boomerangs? 最后，最后的from when修饰句首的1788，中间却隔着很多其他句子成分

严重感谢！

when必须紧跟在1788后面

时间的沙漏

答案虽然没有争议，但是解释我有点小小的疑问，我觉得C中，their 指代并没有不清楚，在此有两方面原则可以说明，1.就近修饰boomerangs，2，即使不就近修饰，只要逻辑上是明确的指代也没问题，比如此处form or function显然是修饰东西的不是人的，所以their的指代就没有问题，（这条是我做PREP自己总结的，请大家帮忙检验一下。）

C的主要问题，是from when的错误，应该用since代替，而且状语位置也不对，这个上面仁兄已经提了。

混乱思维

大家记好这道题，我可是在考试时遇到了哦！

还有，大家不要见到被动式就觉得不对，我已经见到好几道题的正确答案都是被动的呢。

对的，当时我的第一个反应也是，既然有主动式，就不要选被动式，

没想到错了，大家一定要引以为戒才行，嗯嗯

后面那个From是不是也是有问题的呢？

from when..好像读着不顺，但是不知道对不对？
