262. Initiated five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World on Columbus Day 1992. Project SETI pledged a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

(A)  Initiated five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World on Columbus Day 1992, Project SETI pledged a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

(B)  Initiated on Columbus Day 1992, five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World, a $100 million investment in the search for -extraterrestrial intelligence was pledged by Project SETI.

(C)  Initiated on Columbus Day 1992, five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World, Project SETI pledged a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

(D)  Pledging a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, the . initiation of Project SETI five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World on Columbus Day 1992.

(E)   Pledging a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World, on Columbus Day 1992, the initiation of Project SETI took place.

Choice C, the best answer, is a complete sentence, and its (initial structures correctly modify Project SETI so that there is no ambiguity regarding when events took place. Choice A is faulty because its construction illogically suggests that Europeans arrived in the New World on Columbus Day 1992 and that Project SETI was initiated five centuries thereafter. In B, Initiated on Columbus Day ... illogically modifies a $100 million investment, suggesting that it was the investment itself, not Project SETI, that was initiated. In D and E, the initial phrase beginning with Pledging in both cases illogically modifies the initiation of Project SETI; it is not the project's initiation, but the project itself, that pledged a certain invest­ment. Furthermore, D is a sentence fragment, while E may be faulted for ambiguity. The phrase five centuries after could modify either Pledging or the search, and on Columbus Day 1992 could refer to the date of either the initiation of Project SETI or the arrival of Europeans in the New World.

答案是C，ets说逻辑主语是Project /SETI，但是B的investment我认为也可以阿，投资被开始于1992年的哥伦比亚日。。。请问那样理解可以吗？请各位指正。谢谢！

这样理解逻辑主语不对！如果逻辑主语实在不懂判断，这题排除B选项还有一个依据就是B用的是被动句式，主动优于被动，特别是当选项中有主语句式。

当然也有例外，就是在平行结构中，主动与主动平行，被动与被动平行，特别是当平行结构的两个部分中只有一部分是划线的，就可以用此条来判断。

谢谢jj，为什么我这样理解逻辑主语不对呢？我只是觉得按常理判断investment作为逻辑主语也行啊。

investment能不能作逻辑主语,我是这样看的: 原句的意思是想说,项目开始于1992年,而这个项目投资了多少多少.它并没有告诉你,项目的投资始于1992年,可能93年一下子投了那么多呢?可能最后一年才投的呢?可能项目之前就投了呢?--这是原文没有保证给你的,你不能自己做决定,说投资就是开始于92年啊.

以上是对本题逻辑主语,从句意上的理解.但是我不建议你对逻辑主语钻牛角尖.现场如果都要想这么多,哪来得及解题啊.如果你觉得B的逻辑主语实在没问题,OK,那也可以,不要紧,你就认为它可以做逻辑主语好了.我们先把DE扔掉.来看ABC.第一步,A的1992修饰对象错了,扔掉.第二步,比较BC,你说是项目开始于92年好还是投资开始于92年好??--当然是原文说什么你选什么了(只要不发生严重逻辑错误). 我建议现场甚至先做第二步再做第一步.
