97. Some anthropologists believe that the genetic homogeneity evident in the world's people is the result of a "population bottleneck"—at some time in the past our ancestors suffered an event, greatly reducing their numbers and thus our genetic variation.
(A) at some time in the past our ancestors suffered an event, greatly reducing their numbers
(B) that at some time in the past our ancestors suffered an event that greatly reduced their numbers
(C) that some time in the past our ancestors suffered an event so that their numbers were greatly reduced,
(D) some time in the past our ancestors suffered an event from which their numbers were greatly reduced
(E) some time in the past, that our ancestors suffered an event so as to reduce their numbers greatly,
D 选项的解释是：……The modifier of event is expressed with a wordy passive construction, which destroys the parallelism between it and what follows.
想请问的是：正确选项B的……an event that greatly reduced their numbers 和后面的非划线部分 and thus our genetic variation 又是怎么保持平行的呢？看不粗来……

greatly reduced their numbers and our genetic variation
A and B 的平行作者: bensealet 时间: 2013-7-1 06:13
D选项不对是因为 the numbers were greatly reduced and thus genetic variation
