E选项中的现在完成进行时为什么不好？此处的现在完成进行时不正是要表达表示从过去某时开始一直持续到现在的动作，并且还将持续下去？ 谢谢！

OA:B
idiom: combination of A and B
E doesn't make sense
it means the combination of a reliable supply and the combination

of good growing conditions ...we want to say the combination of

supply and conditions, E doesn't make sense
i don't think it's a tense problem..although E is abundant , the

tense is OK

thanks

OG 13 lists the reasons why E is incorrect. It mentioned the tense issue.
The use of the present perfect progressive "have been enduring "is not grammatically incorrect,but it is rhetorically inappropriate and sounds exaggererated.

Is anybody help to explain why it is rhetorically inappropriate and sounds exaggererated. I just feel confused by this explaination.

Thanks!

traditions have endured sth. 是说traditions对这个东西的影响效果从过去持续到现在。
traditions have been enduring sth. 这里enduring是V-ing，更有强调endure这个动词一直在发生的意味，并不好。因为，V-ing一般用于描述的是一个瞬间正在发生的事情，比如I am playing soccer right now.

以后再回述，就会成为I played soccer yesterday. 所以have been enduring就更强调endure这个动作，一直发生啊发生啊发生啊，但不同于have endured的意味是【这个动作过去发生过啊，然后影响一直持续啊持续啊持续啊】

首先CDE看开头of是直接被淘汰的，我不想去纠结这个问题，正确答案应该是B。之所以不用现在完成进行时没有这个必要，这里endure对应的是一种状态，而不是一个持续性的动作，并没有人一直逼迫你离开而你死活要坚持。

endure本来就有就有持久的意思：它在字典中有一种解释是：to remain alive or continue to exist for a long time
　例：friendships which endure over many years
所以不用现在完成进行时就能表达一直持续并可能继续下去的意思

同意楼上，因为endure的意思已经有一种持续意味，所以不需要用进行时。
