57. In astronomy the term "red shift" denotes the extent to which light from a distant galaxy has been shifted toward the red, or long-wave, end of the light spec­trum by the rapid motion of the galaxy away from the Earth.

(A)  to which light from a distant galaxy has been shifted

(B)   to which light from a distant galaxy has shifted

(C)  that light from a distant galaxy has been shifted

(D)  of light from a distant galaxy shifting

(E)of the shift of light from a distant galaxy

AnswerA)

我觉得(C)没错啊，反而是(A)我觉得不正确，因为本句已有个toward，前面怎么能再加个to呢?

to "extent", toward "end",两个介词都必不可少

In astronomy the term “red shift” denotes the extent to
    which light from a distant galaxy has been shifted toward the red, or long-wave, end of the light spectrum by the rapid motion of the galaxy away from the Earth.

which  指代 前面的extent, 在从句中做from a distant galaxy to 的介词宾语；OG多次指出，当定语从句中的指示代词which担任从句中的介词的宾语时，介词需要前置于该which前，而toward the red, or long-wave, end of the light spectrum by the rapid motion of the galaxy away from the Earth.部分是shifted的状语；此处的toward与前面的to没有联系，也就不存在语义重复的问题

此处的中文意思是：

引用前面某位仁兄的翻译：

 

dinosaure 在天文学里,”红移”一词是指一种外延,即来自遥远星系的光由于星系快速远离地球的运动而被转换向光谱的红色末端,或长波;
