8. The Achaemenid empire of Persia reached the Indus Valley in the fifth century B.C., bringing the Aramaic script with it, from which was derived both northern and southern Indian alphabets. (A) the Aramaic script with it, from which was derived both northern and (B) the Aramaic script with it, and from which deriving both the northern and the (C) with it the Aramaic script, from which derive both the northern and the
(D) with it the Aramaic script, from which derives both northern and (E) with it the Aramaic script, and deriving from it both the northern and
C is the correct answer, however, I think the "derive" should be "derives" because the S is "Aramaic script"...
Does it mean the "script" is a pl. ? I don't think so.
In addition, I think the "northern and southern" is 泛指, we should use "the northern and the southen" to specified refer to somebody. Thus I think D is also wrong. I don't think there is a correct answer, but according to the correct sequence, I have to correct D.
Could somebody help me? Thanks. |
