38. Bengal-born writer, philosopher, and educator Rabindranath Tagore had the greatest admiration for Mohandas K. Gandhi the person and also as a politician, but Tagore had been skeptical of Gandhi’s form of nationalism and his conservative opinions about India’s cultural traditions.

(A) for Mohandas K. Gandhi the person and also as a politician, but Tagore had been

(B) for Mohandas K. Gandhi as a person and as a politician, but Tagore was also

(C) for Mohandas K. Gandhi not only as a person and as a politician, but Tagore was also

(D) of Mohandas K. Gandhi as a person and as also a politician, but Tagore was

(E) of Mohandas K. Gandhi not only as a person and as a politician, but Tagore had also been

  

答案B是可以确定的。 但OG中关于c的not only but also 竟然解释 matches the meaning of this sentence. 这是为什么呢 感觉原句就是转折不是递进啊
还有and also什么时候是冗余的，什么时候是可以一起使用的

请把OG的解释看完整了...

C The phrase not onlyXbut also Ymatches the
meaning of this sentence: Tagore hadnot
onlyadmiration but also skepticism.
However not only has to precede admiration
for this rhetorical construction to be parallel.

and 和 also 什么时候多余了？没有这样的规定啊~

我的意思是为什么这里是递进不是转折！？
关于and 和 also的问题是我自己没搞明白，og有的题目解释说多余有的没有提到

OG的解释是说，用递进not only, but also 的话，matching后面这句话的意思：“ Tagore had not only admiration but also skepticism.” T不仅有敬佩，而且还有怀疑。意思上是说得通的，但是表达的重点和用转折的but有区别。

错是错在语法上不平行。

106. Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, a technique called proton-induced X-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it, is finding uses in medicine, archaeology, and criminology.

(A) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, a technique called proton-induced X-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it,

(B) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, having the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it, a technique called proton-induced X-ray emission

(C) A technique originally developed for detecting air pollutants, called proton-induced X-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it,

(D) A technique originally developed for detecting air pollutants, called proton-induced X-ray emission, which has the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance quickly and without destroying it,

(E) A technique that was originally developed for detecting air pollutants and has the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance quickly and without destroying the substance, called proton-induced X-ray emission,

答案是A；但是og中说C,D中的which错误指代emission，为什么A中没有指代错误？

alzn2765

A中的 a technique called proton-induced X-ray emission是插入语，不做句子成分，which不可能指代一个可以随意拿掉而不影响句子意思的结构中的名词。

而CD中前面的called...不是插入语，所以which有指代歧义。

简单来说，a technique called proton-induced X-ray emission, 这个部分和名词a technique不能分开，是essential modifier, 因此which可以修饰a technique

Ron的具体解释：

A: "(opening modifier), (noun) (modified by necessary descriptive phrase), which" - in this structure, which refers to the noun. Note that the few words right after "technique" are simply the name of that technique. These words ("technique called proton-induced X-ray emission") collectively make up the extended noun phrase to which "which" refers. The single-word noun is technique but the other words are necessary to understand what technique we're talking about.

C: "(Noun) (modifier), (modifer), which" - in this structure, we've separated what had been the necessary descriptive phrase from the noun, so it is no longer a part of any extended noun phrase. As a result, the "which" in this case really does only apply to "emission" rather than to a "technique called emission" b/c "a technique called emission" as a simple noun phrase, is no longer part of the sentence.
