(A) Because an oversupply of computer chips has sent prices plunging,
(B) Because of plunging prices for computer chips, which is due to an oversupply,
(C) Because computer chip prices have been sent plunging, which resulted from an oversupply,
(D) Due to plunging computer chip prices from an oversupply,
(E) Due to an oversupply, with the result that computer chip prices have been sent plunging,
题目是这样的,正确答案是A 我当时也选择的是A 但是针对其他几个选项我有一些疑问
C.OG上面的解释是the violation of chronological order is confusing; reference of which is ambigious 为什么会出现时间顺序的混淆呢? 它想表达的意思就是 因为价格上涨,这个是由于oversupply造成的. 我觉得时间上面是正确的啊 然后which貌似也只能修饰prices吧...
D, OG上面的解释是this backward description of the events behind the announcement of factory closings is confusing and awkward. 我没怎么看懂.. 而且我觉得D答案貌似也没错啊...
D选项首先用Due to plunging computer chip prices from an oversupply, 这里plunging 用现在进行式表示动作正在进行就不合理。然后主句是 the manufacturer has announced that it will cut production by closing its factories for two days a month.用现在完成式表明动作发生在现在以前,到现在完成了这个动作。时间混乱了,它的意思变成了the manufacturer has announced that it will cut production by closing its factories for two days a month.这个动作发生在plunging computer chip prices from an oversupply之前了,当然不对了

第二,什么是resulted from oversupply的?是前面整个情况computer chip prices have been sent plunging, 而不是prices或者plunging,而且plunging在这里也不是做名词,把语序弄成正常语序是:XX have sent prices plunging,这是一个宾语补足语,不是名词。为什么说which ambiguous?因为which在这里无所指,which在gamt中不能指代一整个句子,所以没有可指的先行词,总不能说price是由oversupply导致的吧;其实是价格的上涨是由oversupply导致的,所以说which是ambiguous的。
