我也看不太明白og上的解释~
og：D ambiguously suggests that the quasars appeared to us in the formation of the universe, that is, as though we were present to view them then.
请教了！！！！

D 的 did 对应前面的什么单词呢?换句话说  did怎么还原?
而且 D.E 中的 as 应该作 像...一样  解释吧  
那不就和 appear to 意思重复了么?

希望和你一起进步

D slightly distorts the meaning of the sentence.

"as they did", this phrase ambiguously indicate that once, long time ago, we had seen the Quasars during the formation.

While according to the A, no evidence is applied to prove that we had once seen the formation. We are seeing that for this moment, not "once".

That's why OG rules:  we were present to view them then.

我想问是不是A D中的as用法不一样或者意思不一样？D项有Q现在展现在我们面前就像形成之初时展现在我们面前一样的意思？所以与原来的句意不同？谢谢

did没法还原，那were要怎么还原呢？？还有during是有持续性的吧？？可是题干里貌似没有强调整个formation的意思呀？？
