这里的B选项，我不可以看成主句主语为doer，从script中derive到这个alphabet吗？用sb derive sth from sth这个结构，看成与bringing并列

求求求T T

老李同志

b & e首先排除，因为有and，and前后必须接两个完整的句子或者对称的词。

可以看出 which指代的是script，所以最好which要离script近一点，排除a。

一般northern，southern前面习惯性加the


把后面倒装 换一下就变成 both the northern and southern indian alphabets derive from the script

语义很重要啊。如果将derive和bring 作为empire的谓语动词，解释起来:empire到达了Valley,（他）戴着手稿，（他）来自于字母表。这是不符合逻辑的啊。
因为后面的“来自于”是用来修饰手稿的，所以which引导的部分应该与script更接近一些，所以选择的是C\D. CD的区别是from which derive 和 derives。这里是倒装结构。 还原回来是both the northern and the southern Indian alphabets derive from script. derive应该是复数的。

LS has done a great job in respect of meaning issues.


1.LZ cannot parallel "deriving" with "bringing".
bringing is comma+ing modifier here, and it's adv. modifier, which modifies the action in the proceeding clause.
What is the action in the proceeing clause?
"reach"!
derive has nothing to do with reach.
nonsense here.
rule out B&E

2.granted that the meaning is valid, the antecedent of "from which" is suspious.
rule out A&B

3.regarding agreement issues, if nothing before the verb can be the subject, then you have a backward construction. -- Ron 大神
so D out

4. another problem with e is it has a pronoun ambiguity, by which i mean the second usage of it.
E out again

我想请问，为什么这里的正确答案C不用被用语态啊，were derived both...这里的分句的主语是both northen and the souther indian alphabets were derived from script，是不是应该是这样的。
