OG12-6 关于OG上的解释

6.  In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the
Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for
cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled by
tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so
that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus
was growing on the walls.
(A)  due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which
raised its humidity to such levels so that salt
from the stone was crystallizing
(B)  due to moisture that tourists had exhaled,
thereby raising its humidity to such levels that
salt from the stone would crystallize
(C)  because tourists were exhaling moisture, which
had raised the humidity within them to levels
such that salt from the stone would crystallize
(D)  because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists
raising the humidity within them to levels so high
as to make the salt from the stone crystallize
(E)  because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised
the humidity within them to such levels that salt
from the stone was crystallizing

关于OG上的解释,C  D两项都认为them有修饰tourists的歧义存在

问题:为什么E选项不存在歧义呢?希望有人指点下

因为代词优先指代句中的主语吧

because tourists were exhaling moisture, which
had raised the humidity within them  

because 接完整句子,句中主语是tourists

楼上说的是不错的 代词指代本身有倾向性
对于E而言,them实际上书在 A, because B这句话里面,所以them优先指代了主句主语chambers
而对于D them 在一个that定于从句里面 所以这个them会去指这个从句里面的主语 指不了就去找附近的复数名词
对于C them在which从句里面 而which从句是前面because从句的从句,然后就优先指到了tourists了

Hope it helps

同意二楼和三楼

而且单从做题的角度来看,C,D在其他方面问题都很大,可以最后再考虑代词的倾向性,因为这种意义上看差别比较小。

可是D选项呢 OG说D中的them也有指代tourists的歧义,如果这样推断,那E选项也是有歧义的了

TOP

我觉得是(C)中tourists是because后面句子的主语,代词优先指代tourists

(D)中moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them 这里的raising the humidity within them紧接着tourists的发起者,them亦优先指代靠近它的主语tourists了

E)the chambers were closed because moisture (exhaled by tourists) had raised the humidity within them 这里的tourists地位极低,them应该优先指代先行词吧

我也对此题不解,谢谢ls的解释~
