In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus was growing on the walls.
A. due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing
B. due to moisture that tourists had exhaled, thereby raising its humidity to such levels that salt from the stone would crystallize
C. because tourists were exhaling moisture, which had raised the humidity within them to levels such that salt from the stone would crystallize
D. because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize
E. because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing


og上解释说CD两个选项中的 them指代tourists，那么E为什么不是指代tourists？

我觉得OG的解释也不一定能全信，这道题就解释的很牵强搞笑，不用在意。这道题只需要看"was growing"，要平行就只有A和E了。A的such so that显然不对。

我也在为这个纠结~~

答案是C吗?

WHICH 是修饰moisture的

LEDGIRL

C，D 从句中的TOURISTS 是主语，所以THEM 可以指代它； 而E中不是， 只能这样理解了，呵呵


C. because tourists were exhaling moisture, which had raised the humidity within them to levels such that salt from the stone would crystallize

were exhaling 时态不对
LEVELS SUCH THAT 不对  应该为 SUCH LEVELS THAT
stone would crystallize  和AND后面的部分不平行

在E中的tourists是位于moisture修饰语中的介词BY的宾语，them就不可能指代tourists

我想问的是D中的raising是修饰tourists的吗？
