这道题目的正确答案是B而不是A。详解如下: 1、more和increasingly不能连用,故AD错; 2、C错在that之后的宾语从句中,coming closer to the town没有主语; 3、E错在,noting之后的宾语从句不能省略that(准确的说,在GMAT语法中,一切名词性从句都不能省略that)

国外论坛上GMAT专家的解释如下:
A: THE MORE the city air would become INCREASINGLY
D: THE MORE the city air became INCREASINGLY
Here, the more and increasingly are redundant.
Eliminate A and D.
In C, coming seems to be modifying the city air, implying a nonsensical meaning: that the CITY AIR was coming closer to town. Eliminate C.
In E, noting the city air implies that Robert Angus Smith was noting the AIR itself.
Not the intended meaning.
Rather, Robert Angus Smith was noting what the air DID:
THAT the city air BECAME increasingly acidic.
Eliminate E.
但是选B的话that the city air became increasingly acidic the closer one came to town这句话是什么语法结构呢?不太懂the closer one came to twon 是什么成分。而且意思上当一个人走的离城镇越近,城市空气就变的越酸?人走进跟城市空气变酸连接起来感觉不合逻辑
然后C的话我觉得coming closer to town是做the city air became increasingly acidic的伴随状语,意思是当城市空气离市中心越来越近的时候,它会越来越酸,就像地理学的空气流 从郊区吹响市区的感觉,我觉得这样很合理,但是那个expert说扭曲意思了,不太懂,求指教
