OG 85——为什么倒装？

心晴

85. Out of America's fascination with all things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.

(A)              things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing

(B)              things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing

(C)             things that are antiques has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring

(D)             antique things have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing

(E)              antique things has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring

Choice B is best. In A and D, have grown does not agree with the singular noun market. In addition, all of the choices except B use plural verbs after that, thus illogically stating either that bygone styles of furniture and fixtures, or fixtures alone, are reviving the particular pieces mentioned(由于主谓一致使用不当造成的歧义); it is instead the market for those styles that is bringing back such pieces, as B states. Furthermore, choices C and E, by using the verb form bring, fail to convey the ongoing nature of the revival properly described by the progressive verb is bringing.

前面的things antique，为什么要倒装呢？不是否定词在句首才倒装吗？如果不倒装可以吗？就是把B改成antique things对吗？

修饰things一般用后置修饰, 比如something good, nothing bad, anything possible等...

I still don't understand. I know it is natural to say, like "something good", but I've never seen such expression as "things good". I only see expression like "good things".

A few more examples:

all things considered  

all things strings

all things Christmas

你可以认为 all things (are) considered, 省略了are .

形容词作为定语修饰名词时，要放在名词前面。但是如果形容词修饰以-thing为字尾的词语时，要放在这些词之后，例如：something nice;  things antique

如果不倒装可以吗？就是把B改成antique things对吗？

这个就要问问nn们了！我感觉，如果改成antique things就不地道了！当然这只是个人意见，还请那位nn来指点迷津啊！
