og12 70题 E选项为什么错了

bobchowz

His studies of ice-polished rocks in his Alpine homeland, far outside the range of present-day glaciers, led Louis Agassiz in 1837 to propose the concept of an age in which great ice sheets had existed in now currently temperate areas.

(A) in which great ice sheets had existed in now currently temperate areas

(B) in which great ice sheets existed in what are now temperate areas

(C) when great ice sheets existed where there were areas now temperate

(D) when great ice sheets had existed in current temperate areas

(E) when great ice sheets existed in areas now that are temperate
看那波妞的注释说是因为NOW是副词位置错误，可是副词在句子中不是可以放在任意位置么？？？

areas now that are temperate 这个areas是现在的，不是过去的。过去的东西不能存在于现在的areas。
表达比较混乱。og、prep上应该有好几道类似的

when可以用，E是个挺迷惑的选项,主要有两个原因不对:
首先,now的位置不合适。OG里说了,now is an adverb and should be placed just after the verb are.
此外, temperate area表温度适度的地区。最好连起来用，比说成：areas that are temperate要简洁、明了。
       即：能说delicious cake ，就不要说成cake that is delicious，后者显得很wordy
拙见

when后接一个完整句。。。

trackofheart

now that。。。一看就是有歧义。。。

楼上的一语点醒我了！

now 是用来修饰temperate，如果放在E处，就产生了歧义
