223 B
从句意上理解,是Amercians cost....
A中they指代离它最近的复数名词,就是workdays,意思不正确;
D和E中都用了定语从句,按照就近修饰原则,都变成修饰year了,所以也不正确;
争议可能在B与C中间,只不过,C中的so as to读上去很顺,只不过,只有so .... as to的用发,没有放在一起的。所以选B。
lost在这里修饰work time,并不是动词,lost work time是与medical expense并列的。
224 A
上来看到有Like起头,就觉得是考like句型,所以排除D与E。
B看似也是正确的,但是却少了个and,后面是两句句子,Joseph Brant was....., he also received...中间少了and连接。
C中有同样的毛病,同时,也不能用many another。
所以,选A。
