548.    On the Great Plains, nineteenth-century settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, doing it without timber and nails.
(A) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, doing it without
(B) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, did it without
(C) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, making them while not having
(D) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, making do without
(E) settlers’ homes were built of mud and grass, making do without

whis is D the answer? thanks a lot

用排除法?
A,B中it没有logical referent
C中them容易产生歧义,是指settler, mud and grass or homes???
E do与were不对称,而且the passive voice is awkward here
欢迎指教

Snazzy

thanks. completely agreed.
but what the hell is D?

这题我也会用排除法做。A和B中的it明显错误。E中making的逻辑主语变成homes,错误。c与d相比，d中without比较简洁（btw:发现ets比较喜欢without这个词，每出每中，当然并没有严格验证过）。
longman:
make do
to manage with the things that you have, even though this is not really enough
I hardly had any food in the house so I just had to make do.
make do with/without
I usually make do with a cup of coffee for breakfast.
For many people, make do and mend (=when someone manages with the things they have and does not buy anything new) was a harsh reality.

make do with -
make do without -

都是“将就“的意思，不过一个是凑和着过的将就，一个是无米之炊的将就

make do and mend修补一下对付使用

make do (with)凑合着用; 用...勉强对付

make do without在没有...的情况下, 设法应付过去
