OG 85.
If I revise the choices as following, you may understand why only B is correct.
Choice A.
A market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub have grown out of America's fascination with all things antique.
①Here, in “that are bringing”, “that” is standing for which word?
②A market have grown out of … Is that right?
Choice B.
A market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub has grown out of America's fascination with all things antique.
①Here, “that” is standing for "market" only.
②A market has grown out of …That is right!
Choice C.
A market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub has grown out of America's fascination with all things that are antiques.
①Here, “that” is standing for what?
②“bring back” is not perfect because there should be “is bring back”
③“things that are antiques” obviously is wordy.
Choice D.
A market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub have grown out of America's fascination with all antique things.
①Here, “that” is standing for which word?
②A market have grown out of … Is that right?
③“antique things” obviously is awkward and wrong.
Choice E.
A market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub has grown out of America's fascination with all antique things.
①“bring back” is not perfect because there should be “is bring back”
②“antique things” obviously is awkward and wrong.作者: VICTOR_JZG 时间: 2003-1-14 13:13 标题: OG Explanation to No. 80.
Choice A, the best answer, uses the simple past tense [U]flourished[/U] to describe civilizations existing simultaneously in the past.
Choice B wrongly uses the past perfect "had flourished"; past perfect tense indicates action that was completed prior to some other event described in the simple past tense: for example, "Mayan civilization had ceased to exist by the time Europeans first reached the Americas."
Choice C lacks [U]as[/U] after [U]time[/U].
In choices C, D, and E, the plural pronoun [U]those[/U] has no plural noun to which it can refer.
In C, [U]had[/U] signals the incorrect past perfect; [U]did [/U]in D and [U]were[/U] in E are awkward and unnecessary.
D and E also incorrectly use the present participle [U]flourishing[/U] where [U]that flourished [/U]is needed.
