27. L,C (一个人名) is one of the writers who turned to … materials for topic objectives.

Stick to B; here "topic objectives" parallel to "materials", and both refer to "the writers who", not  the "L,C".

btw, the answer of the logic main point question is right.

经你这么一说，我又迷惑了。如果 who 修饰  writerS，his 肯定错。

强词夺理一下，who 有没有可能在修饰  one ？

Leeon, you brought a point here. You might be right.

Joe11, I think it's impossible that the who clause modifies the antecedent one.Here the who clause should modify the antecedent the writers.

Question comes again!

Recently discovered fossil evidence casts doubt on the evolutionary theory that dinosaurs are more closely related to reptiles than to other classes of animals. Fossils show that some dinosaurs had hollow bones—a feature found today only in warm-blooded creatures, such as birds, that have a high metabolic rate. Dinosaurs had well-developed senses of sight and hearing, which is not true of present-day cold-blooded creatures like reptiles. The highly arched mouth roof of some dinosaurs would have permitted them to breathe while eating, as fast-breathing animals, such as birds, need to do. Today, all fast-breathing animals are warm-blooded. Finally, fossils reveal that many dinosaurs had a pattern of growth typical of warm-blooded animals.

The argument in the passage proceeds by

(A) attempting to justify one position by demonstrating that an opposing position is based on erroneous information

(B) establishing a general principle that it then uses to draw a conclusion about a particular case

(C) dismissing a claim made about the present on the basis of historical evidence

(D) assuming that if all members of a category have a certain property then all things with that property belong to the category

(E) presenting evidence that a past phenomenon is more similar to one rather than the other of two present-day phenomena

The argument in the passage proceeds by （头次看见这种问法，不懂它在问什么，看看选项吧）

(A) attempting to justify one position by demonstrating that an opposing position is based on erroneous information

     错，原文是证明 opposing position 的。

(B) establishing a general principle that it then uses to draw a conclusion about a particular case

     错，既没有establishing a general principle， 也没有用 general principle 来推导出什么结论。

(C) dismissing a claim made about the present on the basis of historical evidence

     错，正相反。claim 是  made about historical evidence 的。

(D) assuming that if all members of a category have a certain property then all things with that property belong to the category

   错，原文没有区分个体与总体。

(E) presenting evidence that a past phenomenon is more similar to one rather than the other of two present-day phenomena

    就是它了。

"that" can refers to a antecedent that is not immediately ahead of it.

But, "who" cannot.  

Got it.  thanks, leeon.

Post a AWA question: .

“Public buildings reveal much about the attitudes and values of the society that builds them. Today’s new schools, courthouses, airports, and libraries, for example, reflect the attitudes and values of today’s society.”

The essay furnished by AWA 80 Essays seems not sound to me. Besides the reason that public buildings reveal values of the society in a democratic society, could anyone please provide some clues?

That's a issue question, I think u can prove evidence to agree or disagree whether public buildings reveal much about the attitudes and values of the society that builds them.
