OG12-59.关于In that 的问题~

haileywang

59.    The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the
pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred
truce was proclaimed during the festival's month.

(A)    world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed
during the festival's month

(B)    world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the
festival's month

(0   world when they proclaimed a sacred truce for
the festival month

(D)    world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during
the month of the festival

(E)    world by proclamation of a sacred truce that
was for the month of the festival

答案是D
我的问题是，in that 有因为的意思，而后面的解释说：In that is a conjunction that means inasmuch as;
because in that has largely gone out of use, it is
considered stilted and overly formal. It also uses
two words when one would do.

那仅仅是因为in that 不常用，或者能用一个词表达清楚的不用两个词就A排除了吗？

OG给的解释也非常 猖狂。。。

为什么E不好？E怎么wordy了?

JoshwuS

proclamation名词，没有proclaim动词好吧。。。

而且我一口气读过去，发现读起来很不爽

E我觉得逻辑上也不大对啊，problaim的主语不是olympic games啊，所以用by不对

JoshwuS

同意LS.

那proclaim的主语是谁？参加战争的国家？

in that的本意是“在于”，不能表示因果，而for可以表示因果，所以选D
