第二题 WHY 选C 不选D[em27]

1。应该是那些RECORD REFLECT，而不是那些历史学家REFLECT。
2。D中的THAT指代不清

1、我认为是reflect历史学家的东西。C的最大错误是“数”的不一致：a historican 与 their。但我还是觉得D太复杂，且，writing 的修饰不太明确。
2、补充licheng：
作为一个研究来讲，预测应该用will。D若改成it estimates that就好点，因为 estimate的用法好象是跟that or to be的。

primefang

问题：

1   对于D,  writing about it 的逻辑主语应该是 historian, 但是则么会是 it
大家觉得E 如何？

princess

同意primefang,后半句的主语应该是historians

primefang

carolexl, can u give the correct answer?

carolexl

我也不知道 可能是ANSWER 错了 我很赞同你的观点

d is redundant. 如果E去掉 in 会更好

tongxun

另外，E 中的inevitable 应该改成副词形式。
