看不懂什么意思，也不好判断是什么结构，看解释因为大体这题就不是很明白，所以有点一头雾水……

xuan E 吧，我觉得because of 后面要接名词，A选项的后面是个完整从句，D的话后面从句没有谓语动词~~不知道对不对哈

刚去搜了一下，摘自Manhattan论坛的解答：
Sentence structure in all but E is flawed. ( because and since are secondary issue)


Prospecting for gold during the California gold rush was a relatively easy task, because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach for anybody with a pan or shovel.

A. because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach for

After we remove fluff, the core is :

Prospecting for gold..........was ....easy task, because of x , y and z put gold literally within reach for anybody

We cant say because of x , y and z put.........hence wrong
we need a reason and , only because can work,but not because of.

One more problem is reach for is unidiomatic.

B. because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, and putting gold literally within reach of

same problem

Prospecting for gold..........was ....easy task, because of x, y and z , and putting gold within reach of...........

Both these bold face make the sentece unidiomatic




C. owing to erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that had thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, and putting gold literally within reach of

Prospecting for gold..........was ....easy task, owing to x, y and z , and putting gold within reach of...........flawed



D. since erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, putting gold literally within reach for

Prospecting for gold..........was ....easy task, since x , y and z, putting gold literally within reach for anybody..........sentence structure is just too bad........I mean there is no connection between parts.



E. since erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach of

Prospecting for gold..........was ....easy task, since x , y and z put gold literally within reach of anybody........

Perfect .....smooth sentence structure, connecting parts appropriately
the second part gives reason why prospecting for gold was easy

这句话的意思是：在加州淘金热时期，挖金子是件相对简单的事儿，因为1）侵蚀2）史前冰川运动3）因为火山活动暴露出来的古老的产金子的河床 使金子真正成为任何有锅或铲的人触手可及的东西。选E，看不懂没关系，咱不追求看懂每个字，只要知道结构就行：xxx was a relatively easy task, since/becuase（因为后面跟的是一个句子，所以不能用because of） x, y, and z（一砣修饰语） put gold literally within reach of anybody...

那为什么ancient 和 gold-bearing……之间有逗号啊

mikeandy

acient是形容词，是acient前面的erosion，movement以及acient形容的riverbed三者构成并列

lmiltamy

可以在針對這句話解釋嗎... acient..
我的想法對嗎

since erosion(n1), prehistoric glacier movement(n2) , and ancient , golod-bearing riverbeds  還是看不
懂這是什麼東西
ancient   當形容詞在這裡修飾  n1,n2, and (這裡n3平行...N3是---gold-bearning riverbeds? 中間夾一個ADJ
會不會太奇怪?
接著  ancient modifies gold-bearing riverds  是?

angzheyao

我有两个想法:
1,C中 putting及后面看作结果状语从句,但因为putting...语法上只能修饰prospecting...easy task,而逻辑上修饰erosion...to the surface,所以错
2、E中 句子结构没错，但是有歧义，因为语法上thrust to...既可修饰ancient, god-bearing riverbeds,又可以修饰erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, god-bearing riverbeds.

综上所述，这道题没有完全正确的选项，但相比起来，肯定是E为最佳选项
