173.

The widely accepted big-bang theory holds that the universe began in an explosive instant 10 to 20 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since.

A. that the universe began in an explosive instant 10 to 20 billion years ago and has been expanding

B. that the universe had begun in an explosive instant 10 to 20 billion years ago and had been expanding

C. that the beginning of the universe was an explosive instant 10 to 20 billion years ago that has expanded

D. the beginning of the universe to have been an explosive instant 10 to 20 billion years ago that is expanding

E. the universe to have begun in an explosive instant 10 to 20 billion years ago and has been expanding


题目选A，可是A的 and has been expanding 前面没有that ，不就是和holds平行了么？theory怎么能expanding？其他的选项也明显不对啊

是the universe has been expanding

stucashS

可是and前面并没有that来说明是和universe链接的呀，and后面直接是has ，不会有和前面theory链接的嫌疑吗

"has been expanding" 与 "began"平行.

If you add "that" before "has been expanding", you parallel two clauses and create a faulty parallelism, "the theory holds that the universe began in an explosive instance" and "[the theory holds]that has been expanding ever" since." Clearly the second clause lacks a subject.

明白了 谢谢！可是has仍然有跟在theory后面的歧义啊~
