The commission has directed advertisers to restrict the use of the word "natural" to foods that do not contain color or flavor additives, chemical preservatives, or nothing that has been synthesized.
17. The commission has directed advertisers to
restrict the use of the word “natural” to foods that
do not contain color or flavor additives, chemical
preservatives, or nothing that has been synthesized.
(A) or nothing that has been
(B) or that has been
(C) and nothing that is
(D) or anything that has been
(E) and anything
OG的解释:
Idiom; Logical predication
The use of do not and nothing in the same sentence creates a double negative and reverses the intended meaning. Anything should be used instead of nothing. Logically, a “natural” food cannot contain any prohibited ingredient, so the list of prohibited ingredients must be connected
by or.
A The use of nothing creates a double negative.
B That has been synthesized distorts the meaning by referring to foods, rather than to something added to a food.
C The use of nothing creates a double negative; and should be or.
D Correct. Th is sentence correctly avoids a double negative and uses parallel elements.
E And distorts the meaning of the sentence. The correct answer is D.
CD上搜到的基本上都是问DE的and和or的,我的问题是:
1. ABC选项里的that的指代分别都是nothing和anything么?
2. D项that能省略么?即D项变为:or anything has been. 不能的原因是因为平行的关系么,前几项都是noun的并列,而or后面也不能变成完整的句子,has been synthesized只是一个noun modifier?
2. E选项如果把and 改成or,即or anything,那对不对呢?这时的synthesized就i是v-ed做后置定语?
1)
A, or nothing that (nothing) has been
B, to foods that do not contain color or flavor additives, chemical preservatives, or that ( foods) has been synthesized
C, and nothing that (nothing) is
2) 是的,改变之后不平行。
3)
or anything synthesized 从语法上是可以的
但or anything that has been synthesized 和 or anything (that is) synthesized 不等价,所以我认为不能这样改
(但我不是很明白作者在这里用has been的用意,看到其他讨论中有人认为两者中 is synthesized还更好)

噢噢~谢谢解答~~~
ummm, 不了解一般是要多久才有人回...
还有一些不明白的:
第三个问题你说那两个不等价是既有时态上的,也有语意上的么?第一个表示一种被合成的过程而第二个就表示那个东西的特征?
has been会不会是因为主句里也是用的has directed呢?
字典上说:If you restrict someone or their activities to one thing, they can only do, have, or deal with that thing. If you restrict them to one place, they cannot go anywhere else. 限制 (在某范围)
