548. On the Great Plains, nineteenth-century settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, doing it without timber and nails. (A) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, doing it without (B) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, did it without (C) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, making them while not having (D) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, making do without (E) settlers’ homes were built of mud and grass, making do without
这题我也会用排除法做。A和B中的it明显错误。E中making的逻辑主语变成homes,错误。c与d相比，d中without比较简洁（btw:发现ets比较喜欢without这个词，每出每中，当然并没有严格验证过）。 longman: make do to manage with the things that you have, even though this is not really enough I hardly had any food in the house so I just had to make do. make do with/without I usually make do with a cup of coffee for breakfast. For many people, make do and mend (=when someone manages with the things they have and does not buy anything new) was a harsh reality.
