OG11-18,新问题

以下是引用mian328519在2008-4-20 18:41:00的发言：

18.   Computers are becoming faster, more powerful, and more reliable, and so too are modems, they are the devices to allow two or more computers to share information over regular telephone lines.

(A)  so too are modems, they are the devices to allow

(B)   so too are modems, the devices that allow

(C)  so too modems, the devices allowing

(D)  also modems, they are the devices that allow

(E)   also modems, which are the devices to allow

答案是B，但是我的问题是关于D和E的：

 also modems——

D Use of also is awkward, ungrammatical, and confusing; the reader is initially led to think that computers are also becoming modems, but this is clearly not the intended meaning of the sentence

E Also should again be replaced by a clause

为什么D和E对于also的解释不同，E的解释是什么意思啊？是不是说，应该另起一句？

还有，D和E之后的they，和which，对于modem有没有什么影响？我觉得they有指代不清的嫌疑，which好像还可以用，对不对呢？

谢谢了

补充一下：那些正确答案的原因我也是看了之前的讨论的啊，但是我就是想问一下，OG上面的D和E的关于also的解释。。。。我不太懂

谢谢2楼的回答，其实我的意思就是想问一下，如果把B的the devices改成they，会不会有指代不清的问题？

D/E的意思就变成computers are becoming modems.而D的they不是指代清不清的问题，是sentence fragment因为没有连接词，这个和把B的devices改成they是一样的毛病哦

so too 不是一个固定搭配，这句话对吗？

这里的so too are modems,是不是也可以改为 so are modems too？
