Grammatical construction
Th is sentence fails to convey its meaning
because its construction is faulty. It begins with
a subordinate clause, whose subject is a baby; the
subject of the main clause, it appears to refer back
to baby. However, reading the main clause reveals
that it is intended to refer to the sense of vision the
first time it is used and to the baby the second
time. Th e whole sentence must be revised, and the
relationships between the two parts of the
sentence must be clarified.
A Repeated use of it creates confusion because
the referent is not clear.
B Th e final phrase is awkwardly and
ambiguously attached to the sentence.
C Th e use of a semicolon instead of a comma
creates a sentence fragment.
D Correct. One independent clause describes
a baby’s vision, the other an adult’s; the two
independent but linked main clauses are
correctly separated with a semicolon in this
version of the sentence.
E Subordinate clause beginning with which is
awkward and ambiguous. E这个解释让我觉得很勉强，因为从句用which 开头是很正常的，像OG上紧挨着它的题目，正确答案选C，就可以看出这一点。
