104.The diet of the ordinary Greek in classical times was largely vegetarian--vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes, (and meat rarely).
D.meat a rarity
E.with meat as a rarity
The key is E. My question is whether D can be correct if I put 'with' before 'meat'?

127.In theory, international civil servants at the United Nations are prohibited from continuing to draw salaries from their own governments; in practice,however, some governments merely substitute living allowances for the paychecks of their employees who have been assigned to the United Nations.
I don't understand the meaning of the sentence after the semicolon, interpretation please.

181.Because of the enormous research and development expenditures required of firms to survive in the electronics industry, an industry marked by rapid innovation and volatile demand, such firms tend to be very large.
Sentence structure, please.

In my opinion, for 104, "With something as something" is an English usage; so, "as" is needed here;

For 127, pay attention to the phrase "substitute A for B", which means that one uses A in the place of B. If you get to know the phrase, the sentence will be easy to understand, right?

For 181, the main stem of the sentence is that "such firms tend to be very large". Others are all modifying parts. Try to break the whole sentence into serval parts by yourself. Good luck!

晴天猪sis,

127, 分号后“实际上，某些政府用生活补助的方式代替直接给雇员发放薪水，那些雇员其实已经被指派到联合国服务”
翻的一般，见量；本题要点是who 重句的修饰关系，必须无歧义修饰EMPLOYEE，
请留意总结；

181，要点：require 用法， 代词（SUCH）指代，
不难；

104、good question.
请牛牛们指教，我也说不好。
