Q27:
Scientists have identified an asteroid, 2000 BF19, that is about half a mile wide and, if it strikes Earth, it can do tremendous damage to part of the planet but probably not cause planetwide destruction.

D. and that, if Earth is struck by it, can do part of the planet tremendous damage, but it would
E. and that, if it strikes Earth, it could experience a tremendous amount of damage but
正确答案是E 我选A 的
E 中的 and that 是什么意思啊? if it strikes Earth, it can do tremendous damage to part of the planet but probably not cause planetwide destruction. 应该是个独立的句子吧
谢谢帮忙
Q27:
我做题的时候也选了A，但当时就觉得A没有表达出虚拟语气，好像不是很妥。但当时总觉得and后面的that不能和前面平行（也不知当时为什么这么感觉）
现在仔细分析了一下，的确C应该是对的。
Scientists have identified an asteroid, 2000 BF19, that is about half a mile wide and that, （if it were to strike Earth,） could do tremendous damage to part of the planet but would probably not cause planetwide destruction.
个人觉得，在这里if it were to strike Earth更像是一个插入语，identified an asteroid that……and that….这是一个完美的平行，在后面一个that引导的从句中，that指代an asteroid，所以任何could和would前面的it都是多余的。
