OG中一道语法题，求解，想了很久没想通~~~

麻布9月考gmat

OG 语法 95题。
The peaks of a mountain range, acting like rocks in a streamed, produce ripples in the air flowing over them; the resulting flow pattern, with crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are known as “standing waves.”

A.crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are
B.crests and troughs that remain stationary although they are formed by rapidly moving air, are
C.crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them in moving rapidly, is
D.stationary crests and troughs although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are
E.stationary crests and troughs although they are formed by rapidly moving air, is
这道题中A，B，D因为agreement很容易排除，可是C和E我想了很久，看了OG的解释还是不明白为什么要选C不选E。虽然说主动优于被动，但是我觉得C中的with 引导的独立主格是有问题的吧。
with +宾语+宾补，或者with +n +介词结构，可是C中其实就是with stationary crest and troughs，感觉冷怪了，不明白，期待各位解答！小女子在此谢过啦~

同问，楼主有答案了吗？

OG给的解释说E用although在主动句中引导从句阿wkward and unclear

我觉得C选项更罗嗦阿。。。还有that的定语从句呢
求解

我认为with 不是独立主格，是修饰前面的名词。 另外除了被动外，although里面的they好像指代有点问题吧。  哈哈，个人见解，欢迎拍砖

这个题我也想了很久，虽然我第一直觉认为E这种表达很奇怪，但是不知道理由是什么。
现在还是只能从表达的清楚上来理解这道题，解释如下：
1.although在这里的作用是为了表达stationary和rapid的两种相反现象的转折，即虽然山是静的，但形成山的风是动的。
2.C中although前后是remain stationary和is moving rapidly两个动词来表达了这种转折，而且“比较”本来就是一件很动态的事情，用动词结构表达更加清晰准确。
3.E中although之前的stationary直接用成形容词，则although转折的对象不明确，让人不明白这里为什么就“although”了，相比之下C更清晰一些。

希望能有所帮助

同意楼上。
我也觉得E中although前后转折不明显，不清楚在转折什么。逻辑上不连贯。

The peaks of a mountain range, acting like rocks in a streamed, produce ripples in the air flowing over them; the resulting flow pattern, with crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are known as “standing waves.”

A.crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are
B.crests and troughs that remain stationary although they are formed by rapidly moving air, are
C.crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them in moving rapidly, is
D.stationary crests and troughs although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are
E.stationary crests and troughs although they are formed by rapidly moving air, is

1，可知主语是the resulting flow pattern，所以谓语是单数，所以在CE里选
2. 2个选项有多处不同
1）C: crests and troughs that remain stationary    E: stationary crests and troughs
C修饰的好，明确知道stationary修饰的是troughs,而不是crests、 而E这边stationary 可以只修饰crests也可以同时修饰 crests and troughs
2）C: although the air that forms them in moving rapidly-----主动
E: they are formed by rapidly moving air----被动

相同的表达意思，宁可选主动不选被动，OG里一直在说被动的不好，所以GMAC不喜欢被动
所以E有两种罪

C好

个人觉得，that只带不清，可以是stationary crests也可以是troughs，还可以是二者一起

不好意思，上面打错了，是they指代不清

也是一方面，看到代词要万分当心

不好意思，上面打错了，是they指代不清

应该没有指代不清的问题吧，C中也出现的them指代同样内容。
