已经是在复以前做过的了，可是这次还是选错了！偶选了E，答案是D。去语法总链接里找了，没看到有着道题的，所以就只好自己发个帖子~~嗨，快考了，可语法每次还是错很多，感觉还没有入门呢~~~250刀啊，真是不甘心把钱白白得让ETS 赚去！哪个牛牛帮我解释一下~

偶也觉得E这个样子which的位子有点怪，当时选的时候觉得D的句子重心好像变了，但是可能关键不是在这里吧，偶很菜鸟地说……  谢谢！

e：   从语法上讲，was是which从句的谓语，所以意思错，变成sloth dated 这么久。  of也不对，后面是地点inlands。e重心不好，头重脚轻，D意思对，重心好，主句在中间，后面结果状语。

谢谢楼上赐教，其实刚才找到不少相关的帖子，原来有重复地出现在其他几套题里了，有好多解释，不过还是看了楼上的，偶才清楚得比较彻底~是太感谢了

Can anybody please explain why, in D, "Have" can be used instead of were.

THanks.

而今迈步从头越

have强调对现在的影响！

现在完成时对于不可延续的动作，表示过去的动作一直影响至今，而一般现在时对于不可延续的动作，表示动作发生在过去，和现在没有任何关系。

BCE错误是否主要在于谓语动词都为单三形式？而原句中的主语中心词为Fossils，所以错误。而A选项中的IT是否指代错误，一点拙见！

这题只要抓住中心词是fossils，则A,B中it指代错，C，E中was错

D;

A-incorrect use of past tense "made" when, apparently, the sloth continues to be the earliest known mammal of the Greater Antilles; a condition which requires the progressive tense "making" to accurately relate the ongoing nature of the condition;

B-"they" has no clear referent, plus, the construction is awkward in the terminal clause;

C-subject-verb agreement error--"Fossils" is plural, "was" is singular;

E-combines the problems of A and C.

have been is suspicious anyway

Before reading the 5 options, notice the errors are:

1. “, and dated”. “dated” should refer to the fossils, but not the sloth.
2. probably “it”: has no clear referent.

 

Now start with B: “has” is wrong, same logic error.

C: “was” should be “were”

D: correct

E: same logic error.
