这个应该是B吧

B的 so mormon不对  A, E的so many people放在句首来形容有点怪, A lot of people, or A large population会好点!而且many已经足够形容人多的意思了!

 

A, C, 句尾的 it 显然不能在那个位置!

 

 

其实E比D好的地方, 就是now only account for half 和now account for only half.    第一个是现在只算以前的一半了, 和后者现在算来只有以前的一半了。

答案当然是E了

为什么这道题争议呀

这个题目肯定是选择E的 所以不能算争议题

这里有几个概念多说两句,用系动词连接的结构 即 主 系 表 结构 如果主语和表语都是名词 那么这两个名词必须要“可比”,或者说要能联系在一起

 

A选项里面 Mormons were 75% population这个主系表结构就是不对的,因为Mormons应该是一种人 它不能是人口,而E选项的表达则是正确的 它采用了represent和account for来连接两个名词 A的另外一个错误是so ... such that,这种表达是不符合习惯表达的,so 和such that里面有重复的意思,所以such 应该去掉

 

B选项里面将原句的so that从句(这个是状语从句)改为了so引导的并列句,这个是不好的,或者说文章并没有明确的标志要表达两者的并列意思,应该是that 从句所引导的意思是为了强调前面的 so many people have been moving这个动作的,所以就应该使用状语 而不应该使用并列句;同时so后面的句子也很奇怪,Mormons 75% of population 这两个名词性词汇放在一起可以有两种解释,一种是Mormons的75%人口,另一种是75%那个结构最为插入语,但是插入语通常需要用逗号隔开。

 

C这个选项句子结构不完整,前面是一个that引导的主语从句 后面such that作为状语从句,整个句子没有谓语动词 ,其他的毛病就不说了

 

D这个选项的错误不明显,或许真正的争议在D和E之间,在我看来呢D是没有任何语法错误的 但是:

首先原句中的so manny结构被打破 成为了 many such that这个结构,这个结构语法正确,意思却稍微有点改变,原句中强调了many 但是现在这个句子是把整个主句都作为原因,

其次only的位置从only account 变成了only half这个结构上的变化也是很蹊跷的,简单说之前的only修饰动词account 但是D中的only则修饰half

 

由此 E是最佳答案 希望这样的解释能够帮到你
