13og, sc6求解惑

diabetes, together with its serious complications, ranks as the nation's third leading cause of death, surpassed only by heart disease and cancer.

A ranks as the nation's third leading cause of death, surpassed only
B rank as the nation's third leading cause of death, only surpassed
C has the rank of nation's third leading cause of death, only surpassed
D are the nation's third leading causes of death, surpassed only
E have been ranked as the nation's third leading causes of death, only surpassed.

答案的思路是根据单双数可以去掉bde,剩下a和c,然后因为ranks as 简单且优于has the rank，所以选a。
本身题目搞清楚了，就想问问only surpassed 和surpassed only有没有区别，我感觉没有区别。

有区别
only surpassed中only修饰surpassed，错，这里强调的是只有心脏病和癌症，所以only应该放在surpassed后面去修饰by...这个介词短语。

个人觉得语意上差不多。但是，修饰对象不同了。

其实 only 更应该放在 by的后面  直接修饰名词  你感觉呢   只是木有这个而答案

2)        词在句中的位置
        要关注一些重点词，all, only；位置不同句子意思也不一样。
EG: ONLY the council votes on Thursdays.
The council votes ONLY on Thursdays.

这样是不对的，only在这是修饰整个介词词组by heart disease and cancer，所以要放在By前。
