我选了D
虽然时态有点问题 但是感觉which指代hundreds of monasteries 离得近
E 中them指代不明吧？可以指代The mountainous regions 也可以是hundreds of monasteries
求指导啊~~~

我们好像认识

D时态不对把，时态应该是不能妥协的问题。
然后E是同位语，其实我在CE中纠结了很久。觉得E的说法比较顺，直接就把一个事情说下来了。。
求NN~~

meaning: NE的多山地區分佈著許多修道院，它們其中的很多是n個世紀以前從堅岩中chisel出來的【語文不好，這單詞...好難翻譯耶，就是把石頭磨成修道院的感覺啦哈哈~有趣~~】

C：be dotted with表示分佈各處的意思（pls看下面例句）；如果是直接使用dot的話，應該是使用simple present tense，因為修道院的分佈應該是general truth而不是一個ongoing process。
The sky was dotted with stars. 天上繁星密佈。
D：are時態錯誤

的確，them在這裡可能可以指代regions or monasteries。但是pronoun ambiguity這個問題，Ron神同manhattan都強調過，當absolute rules都不能排除的時候才使用。官題裏面有pronoun ambiguity多的是...

另外，對於pronoun ambiguity，Ron神還提到，如果5個選項中，有部份出現pronoun ambiguity，另外一些排除了這個問題的話，一般正選就是能夠排除pronoun ambiguity的【當然是在不存在meaning和grammar問題的前提下】；如果5個選項都有pronoun ambiguity的話，那就把這個問題忽略吧【一般情況，不排除有例外】

無論有無pronoun ambiguity，D也是錯的;)
