Q20: TTGWD4-Q30:

Under high pressure and intense heat, graphite, the most stable form of pure carbon, changes into the substance commonly referred to as diamond and remaining this way whether or not the heat and pressure are removed.



A.remaining this way whether or not

B.remaining like that even as

C.remaining as such whether or not

D.remains in this way although

E.remains thus even when

为什么D错呢？我不理解，读读也通的啊。
对于 正确答案E，我不能理解thus是什么成分，when是不是引导条件状语从句而非时间有大牛可以解释一下嘛？跪谢~~

非常感谢楼上！

D项although改变了原文意思，原文是不管heat and pressure是否移开。但although似乎在陈述一个事实仿佛heat and pressure一定会被移开。因此改变了原文的意思。
E项中的thus可以代替 this way, like that, as such, in this way. 在题中应该代替this way。

关于even when我个人觉得是引导条件状语从句。
