答案是A,这个没有问题,但是问题在于OG解释C:
C The participial growing might refer to the 32 species; the introduction of being is unnecessarily wordy and adds nothing in terms of meaning. 为什么说being在这里是多余的呢,不是固定短语be famous for吗,想了好久都想不通啊,苦恼ing。。。。作者: windows10 时间: 2010-9-16 20:10
lz误会了它说的多余的意思了,它只是说这么表达比较累赘而不是说BE动词或者其变形多余。BE动词是需要的。所以你的BE FAMOUS FOR固定搭配没有错。只是首先除了PARALLEL,此题还靠考从句的表达。如果用--ING,那么修饰的是什么就很模糊,而用WHICH,就清晰通畅的多。WHICH是非限定性定语从句的标志,但一般来说是就近。
