Over the course of the eighteenth century, the average output of ironwork tripled as a result of several improvements in blowing machinery and because coal replaced charcoal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore.

 

A.      Over the course of the eighteenth century, the average output of ironwork tripled as a result of several improvements in blowing machinery and because coal replaced charcoal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore.

B.       Over the course of the eighteenth century a tripling in the average output of ironwork was due to the replacement of charcoal by coal for the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore, in addition to several improvements in blowing machinery.

C.      With charcoal’s being replaced by coal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore and several improvements in blowing machinery, the average output of ironwork tripled over the eighteenth century.

D.      The replacement of charcoal with coal for the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore and several improvements in blowing machinery, the average output of ironwork tripled over the eighteenth century.

E.       Charcoal being replaced by coal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore, and several improvements in blowing machinery, which tripled the average output of ironwork over the course of the eighteenth century.

为啥B 不对啊
是in addition 不及and好吗？

我觉得A对

B is due to 不对  貌似due to只能做原因状语 不能做表语 

C 里面有两个错 1 being 要省 2 即使省了charcoal’s being replaced by coal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore and several improvements in blowing machinery也不对称 N1's being doing 和 N2不对称

A.      Over the course of the eighteenth century, the average output of ironwork tripled as a result of several improvements in blowing machinery and because coal replaced charcoal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore. （正确）

B.       Over the course of the eighteenth century a tripling in the average output of ironwork was due to the replacement of（啰嗦 redundant）charcoal by coal for the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore, in addition to(改变了原并列逻辑关系，改变原意) several improvements in blowing machinery.

C.      With charcoal’s being（being 出现在这种位置，必错） replaced by coal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore and several improvements in blowing machinery, the average output of ironwork tripled over the eighteenth century.

D.      The replacement of（啰嗦 redundant）charcoal with coal for the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore and several improvements in blowing machinery, the average output of ironwork tripled over the eighteenth century.（整个前半句都是乱的）

E.       Charcoal being replaced by coal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore, and several improvements in blowing machinery, which（没有指代对象 ） tripled the average output of ironwork over the course of the eighteenth century.

谢谢版主
但为啥replacement是啰嗦呢？？？呜呜

aeoluseros

我认为是因为其它选项有更加简洁的replace的用法...

a tripling，a doubling貌似也是个啰嗦的说法...

C，D里面好像不符合由轻到重的句子习惯

A中 as a result of ...and because...是不是不太平行？还是说意义的平行超越了形式的平行?

语法上我觉得应该是没有错误的，是平行的，因为他们所代表的成分平行的。

就像I eat more apples than tom eats. 和 I eat more apples than tom does.是一样的吧。不过我这也都是事后诸葛亮的想法。

当然如果选项有because...and because.更好。

我觉得B这里啰嗦不啰嗦不是焦点，关键的是整体的逻辑关系错误了。如版主说的，A中说了两点，the average output of ironwork tripled的原因，1是因为：(as a result of) several improvements in blowing machiner，2是因为： （and
because） coal replaced charcoal as the fuel used in the smelting of
iron
ore。这两个原因缺一不可，B中没有了因果关系的连接词，错。这种题不宜扣得太细，出题人主要考察逻辑关系。还有一点是时间状语，只有A把时间状语用
“，”和整句分开，放在句首，让逻辑关系清楚明白，其他的都比较含糊，也不符合英文的表达习惯。
