求助~ 一道语法题

Q17: GWD-11-30

Socially and environmentally responsible investing is on the rise:  last year in the United States, over $2 trillion was invested in funds(名词)that screen companies according to a variety of criteria such as adherence to labor standards, protection of the environment, and observance of human rights.



A. according to a variety of criteria such as

B. according to a variety of such criteria, as by

C. according to such a variety of criteria as by

D. in accordance with such a variety of criteria as

E. in accordance with a variety of criteria, such as by



(1) according to vs. in accordance with 两者都有按照的意思,但是in accordance with后面一般跟随一个有权威性的条例,如规矩、惯例、标准等,强调要严格遵守。比如in accordance with the requirement that students must take a GMAT test to enter the graduate division of the school. according to相对就轻松的多,不是必须依从,而是做事的依据。 注意到原文句子开始部分responsibility的用法,也就是说这些criteria不是必须遵从的,而是投资者在投资时自愿考量的因素,所以Aaccording to更好一些。

(2) such X as Y vs. X such as Y X的内容清晰固定时,两者没有本质区别,但是D的问题在于,such到底在这里强调了criteria的内容,还是强调了variety的内容,根据as后紧跟的三个具体项目,应该是强调criteria,这种含混性使得D不如A好。



上题中,答案是A.我赞成,但是有个地方我没看清楚:
over $2 trillion was invested in fundsthat screen companies according to a variety of criteria such as adherence to labor standards, protection of the environment, and observance of human rights.

that从句修饰funds,但是that的句子好像不完整??  screen companies according to a variety of criteria
