看A的时候就产生了定式,认为a tool作为补语,所以就选了B,但是也的确对后半部的which很困惑。当初没有选C在于觉得C的前半部表达很繁琐,没有B来得紧凑。现在再仔细看了C,觉得的确C表达的还算清楚,但是,我的看法和jnlvo不同,我认为,that从句不是修饰a tool,他直接修饰radio,其实这个句子是一个倒装句,由于修饰radio的定语从句过长,所以被后置,原句应该是M conceived of the radio that could substitute for the telephone as a tool for private conversation; instead, it has become ...
另一方面,好像has done的时态比之is要好,因为M conceived是发生在过去。
的确是个好题目,可惜的是如果在考场上碰到,看来我是要折戟沉沙了。
C 但是我认为您想太多了。that就是修饰tool。
因为如果修饰radio就变成限定修饰,让人以为有很多种radio,而其中有一种是可以代替电话。整个句子变很怪: M认为"那种可以代替电话的radio"是一种私人对话的工具;instead,it("那种可以代替电话的radio") has become precisely..... 这样解会不会扯太远了??
原文: a tool for private conversation是修饰telephone,而C选项却用去修饰a radio.
