这个题目也是一个传统的争议题目 我会选择C

题目的考点是倒装句型这个特定的结构 和 主谓一致

 

句子的ABE三个选项都采用了全倒装句型,即把among the ...这个介词短语前置,然后是谓语动词 are believed to be/are 然后是主语 the rate

但是在倒装句型中谓语动词的单复数形式应该是有主语决定的 这里主语是the rate也就是说它和are是不能搭配的 这是A B 选项的核心错误

D选项的错误是相对明显的,因为D选项根本就不是一个句子,缺少谓语动词

 

真正有争议的是C和E两个选项 严格上来说 C和E都没有特别严重的语法错误

我倾向于选择C的根本原因是因为在C里面 On earth作为前置状语修饰句子的谓语动词is believed,所以这里on earth强调的是 在地球上大家都相信

而在E里面on earth作为后置定语修饰surest indications 这里强调的是 在地球上的各种标志

 

而原句中 on earth是作为状语的,并且这里并没有什么特别的不妥 所以E选项将其改变为定语是不合适的

 

以上分析仅供参考

嗯嗯, 这题我做过, 嗯嗯, 同意, 不过有个问题, the rate at which trees grow, 这个at which语法上有这么用的么?

 

我又学到个新的, 原来倒装谓语是修饰后面那个主语的........这是不好学啊!

这个就是个普通的定语从句吧  介词+which引导的..
