急求牛人解释一道SC PREP

zlljolie

Because she knew many of the leaders of colonial America and the American Revolution personally, Mercy Otis Warren was continually at or near the center of political events from 1765 to 1789, a vantage point combining with her talent for writing to make her one of the most valuable historians of the era.

(A) a vantage point combining with her talent for writing to make

(B) a vantage point, when combined with her talent for writing, that made

(C) a vantage point that combined with her talent for writing, and it made

(D) and this vantage point, which combined with her talent for writing to make

(E) and this vantage point, combined with her talent for writing, made
大牛来解释：这题中B选项哪里错了。
不能看成是when状从的省略形式吗？
                       a vantage point, when (it is) combined with...,that made...

答案是选E 吧？B 我一看就排除了，B从语法讲一点也没错，但是when 是不能随便乱加的，会如果原意的，如果原文中没有任何信息要用when，选项加了 when 就是错的， when 是时间状语， 这里就是 a vantage point 加上her talent for writing， 不需要用when， GMAC 很喜欢 用when来迷糊我们，LZ 要注意哦~

我觉得B的错误不在于when吧。。


a vantage that.. 是个同位语， 但是前面主句里没有和他同为的东西。。 对吧？

jameshzd

a vantage point 可以与前面的 the center of political events同位啊，这个同位我不确定，但是 when 肯定是用错了的，原句不用加when 的时候 选项加了 when 就必错。
