The Achaemenid empire of Persia reached the Indus Valley in the fifth century B.C., bringing the Aramaic script with it, from which was derived both northern and southern Indian alphabets.

(A) the Aramaic script with it, from which was derived both northern and

(B) the Aramaic script with it, and from which deriving both the northern and the

(C) with it the Aramaic script, from which derive both the northern and the

(D) with it the Aramaic script, from which derives both northern and

(E) with it the Aramaic script, and deriving from it both the northern and

C is the correct answer, however, I think the "derive" should be "derives" because the S is "Aramaic script"...

Does it mean the "script" is a pl. ? I don't think so.

In addition, I think the "northern and southern" is 泛指, we should use "the northern and the southen" to specified refer to somebody. Thus I think D is also wrong.

I don't think there is a correct answer, but according to the correct sequence, I have to correct D.

Could somebody help me? Thanks.

倒装句

Both the northern and the southern Indian alphabets derive from the Aramaic script.

why not answer B , deriving and bring are parelle, 这两个并列为什莫不可以？

请问一下，倒装这个玩意儿怎么看出来的？我做这道题的时候想了半天怎么没有主语？...很明显是derive alphabets from it...

但是我的疑问时，derive不需要被动么？

Both the northern and the southern Indian alphabets derive from the Aramaic script --〉就是说both南和北 印度的字母都是由script衍生出来的...

难道不应该用被动么？indian alphabets are derived from the Aramaic script....???
