我觉得应该选C，that后面省略了were。

that跟在passenger后面比在a rooster后面更加准确的定位了修饰的对象。

E为什么不行呢？

个人意见是C

 

A B 中that从句修饰部门与句意逻辑不合

D 缺少谓语

 

C和E的唯一差别在于C采用了定语从句修饰passengers而E采用了-ing分词 两者在语法上均没有明显错误

从句和ing分词作为定语的差别在于 -ing分词强调一个一般性的反复性的客观时间，没有具体时间和具体地点;而从句则是强调在某一特定时间特定地点的一次性事件，所以这里C更合适

我觉得这里有更强的意思再说被送上天，强调被动，但没有进行中或者持续动作的意思。

 ascending可能有连续性的意思，但这里指的是一个瞬间性的动作， 我觉得在语法上不算错，只是不如C好
