争议题GWD25-Q24，之前的讨论贴不能说服我

24. GWD25-Q24

Although improved efficiency in converting harvested trees into wood products may reduce harvest rates, it will stimulate demand by increasing supply and lowering prices, thereby boosting consumption.

 

A.      in converting harvested trees into wood products may reduce harvest
        rates, it will stimulate demand by increasing supply and lowering prices, thereby boosting

B.       in converting harvested trees into wood products may reduce harvest
        rates, demand will be stimulated because of increasing supply and
        lowering prices, which boost

C.      of converting harvested trees into wood products may reduce harvest rates, it will stimulate demand by increasing supply and lowering prices,
        which boosts

D.      of harvested trees being converted into wood products may reduce
        harvest rates, it will stimulate demand, because it will increase supply
        and lower prices, thereby boosting

E.       when harvested trees are converted into wood products may reduce harvest rates, demand will be stimulated because of increasing supply
        and lowering prices, which boost

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A B 讨论贴的答案都倾向于选A

虽然讨论贴中大家都倾向选A，但是我反而对B有点偏向，我认为关键是，我觉得boost consumption只需要lower price就可以引起了呀，增加supply与boost consumption无关呀，所以我觉得因该用which boost去修饰lowering prices, 而不该用分词伴随整个句子。请NN帮忙再看看，就要考试了，感激不尽。。。

BOOSTING的逻辑主语可不是 INCREASING SUPPLY AND LOWERING PRICE， 而是 IT ， 也就是 efficiency

S.V.O,DOING  ,    the logic subject of doing must be S(or a full sentence), otherwise we prefer attribute clause to modify O.

in addition, B is not appropriate, because main clause has no obvious relationship with adverbial clause. but, in A, the word "it" in the main clause represent a close relationship with previous part

which 不好。。。

increase  supply===》lower price，如果lz认为只有price导致boosting的话，supply也应该是因素。

被动语态不好。

支持B，根据语意，应该是increasing supply and lowering prices 导致的consumption提高，所以B中which更好地表达这个意思：

而A中表达的意思是demand stimulate这件事导致的consumption提高，所以是错误的

选B A里面BOOSTING做it的伴随   逻辑上不成立  应该是DEMAND提高了CONSUMPTION而不是IT

不大贊同選B.理由是整個句子的意思是improved efficiency雖然可能降低砍伐率，但improved efficiency將透過降低價格和提升供應，刺激消費。

當然B的文法是正確的，但是卻無法凸顯出前後句子的對比關係，亦即improved efficiency雖然能夠

降低harvest rate,達到環保目的，但因為更好的效率導致用同樣多的樹木可以致更多產品，所以價格會下降且產量會上升，因而導致消費的上升。所以要說improved efficiency能夠boosting是合乎邏輯的。

这道题争议蛮大的，我最开始做题的时候也选得A。现在也倾向选B，理由跟楼主一样。

不过我也不sure，是否有定论啊？
