（The application of a new method for analyzing the chemistry of tooth enamel allows scientists to
examine molars of prehuman ancestors and determining） that their diets were more varied than had
been supposed.

(A) The application of a new method for analyzing the chemistry of tooth enamel allows scientists to
examine molars of prehuman ancestors and determining
(B) Through the application of a new method for analyzing the chemistry of tooth enamel, the
molars of prehuman ancestors were examined by scientists who determined
(C) When they applied a new method for analyzing the chemistry of tooth enamel, scientists
examined molars of prehuman ancestors, determining
(D) Applying a new method for analyzing the chemistry of tooth enamel, the molars of prehuman
ancestors have been examined by scientists, who determined
(E) Applying a new method for analyzing the chemistry of tooth enamel, scientists have examined
molars of prehuman ancestors and determined
答案选E。
但E中是分词applying做主句的伴随成分，应该与主句是同时发生的关系。但主句中又是完成时，那不就和前面的分词在时态上矛盾了吗？记得GWD里面ms有一道题就是因为分词和主句完成时不能伴随然后被判为错误答案的。。。待会找到的话把那道题贴上来。
麻烦NN们解答一下哦~

（What was as remarkable as the development of the compact disc ）has been the use of the new technology to revitalize，in better sound than was ever before possible，some of the classic recorded performances of the pre-LP era．
(A)  What was as remarkable as the development of the compact disc
(B)  The thing that was as remarkable as developing the compact disc
(C)  No less remarkable than the development of the compact disc
(D)  Developing the compact disc has been none the less remarkable than
(E)  Development of the compact disc has been no less remarkable as
答案选C。A  What was is awkward and unnecessary；（construction uses a verb tense that does not agree with has been．）
B  The thing that was is wordy and unnecessary, and it introduces a （verb tense that does not agree with has been．）
C  Correct．No less remarkable than、s the clearest，most concise and idiomatically correct wav for this sentence to introduce the comparison between the development and the use．
D  Developing is not parallel to the use；nonetheless followed by than is not a correct idiom for comparison．
E  Without its article，development is not parallel to the use；no less．．．as is not a correct idiom
for comparison．
AB的解释都说的是时态发生错误。感觉跟这道题有点类似

你看懂这个句子的意思么？
旧prep-part1-45中的applying引导状语表示方式，没错，可以这么用的
OG11紫皮-36，我觉得这里用的是一个倒装句，
What was as remarkable as the development of the compact disc has been the use of the new technology to revitalize--> the use of the new technology is (我觉得可以换成is，一般时态) as remarkable as the development of the compact disc to...
你光看选项，能表现出这个倒装句意思的就只有C选项，其他的选项都没有意思，联系不起来上下句，B其实可以的，但是加了一个the thing，太累赘。

个人的看法，供参考！

我觉得问题应该不是出在倒装上吧。。。B就算把the thing去掉，再把句子还原也是有问题的啊：the use of the new technology to revitalize...has been was as remarkable as...由于去掉the thing 以后that为句子的名义主语替代the use of the new technology，所以在还原后应该把that去掉，那么原句就变成一个完成时接过去时，那就还是答案解释中说的主从句时态不一致的问题不是吗？而且现在完成时是表示动作已经完成了，而过去时表示动作发生在过去（我觉得也可以理解为到现在已经完成了），这两个时态都不能并列。那么分词表示的是与主句同时发生的伴随状态（也就是说动作还在发生中），又怎么能和主句中的现在完成时（动作已结束）并列呢？
