In some species of cricket, the number of chirps per minute used by the male for attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and they can in fact serve as an approximate thermometer.

 

(A) for attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and they can in fact serve

(B) for attracting females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, which can in fact serve

(C) in attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, in fact possibly serving

(D) to attract females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and it can in fact serve

(E) to attract females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, in fact possibly serving

答案是D。但是it指代的不是the number吗？如果是the number，那主语没变，d中and前的逗号和and后的it是不是多余呢？

E 选项解释中说serving有现在分词做后置定语的歧义存在，那那么多道题里正确答案选现在分词作为修饰语的都存在歧义喽？这点一直困惑我，希望nn能帮帮忙~还有possibly和can意思不一样？这两不能互换是吗？

我记得好像说要忠实原文，情态动词最好不要换，如果有重复就可以去掉，我记得大概prep中有这种例子，比如原文中有mandate 还有must 就是语意重复可以去掉must。

那d中的伤不算硬伤是吧？就是跟不忠实原文比那个可以忽略？做题的时候老是遇见这种情况，这项这块不好，那项那块不好

"事實"不能跟"可能"一起

E 不对，如果serving做现在分词表伴随，那么语义变成“数字的变化伴随温度变化“这件事是“温度计”。而as thermometer 说明对应的应该是the number，有歧义。
