which removes only selected trees, along with surface fires that burn

removing only selected trees, or surface fires, burning

小雪MM，我觉得第一道的答案应该是C吧？B的IT应该去掉的。

第二道，EITHER OR，只剩B和D了。排除D是用句子结构作到的，or surface fires that burn down individual trees but do not denude the forest.红色部份互相照应。

我选c.因为前面已经说明了主语，b太过累赘。

不知道你怎么看得，我认为答案有问题。

d可能造成歧义，因为这个removing是修饰主句还是从句的呢？在这里b就没有这个问题。另外，根据没有划线的部分看，but后面是从句而非分词。but是非常讲究平行对应的。
