include做“包括“讲，as part of the whole,类属前边的名词概念，显然，syllable和foot没有这样的关系。而consist of 做“包括“, be made up of ,与前边的名词可以不属一类。
比较：the price includes postage charges
      the committee consists of 5 members

Zyh79：谢谢！

D 中accompanied by one or two unaccented syllables有可能变成修饰that前面的主语foot?

tongxun

不会吧？foot that。 accented syllable ---accompanied。应该是这样修饰的。你看呢？

Kilroy

那D错在什么地方？

我想A和D的区别就在于限定性和非限定性关系从句。限定性定语从句限制了它所修饰的名词，而非限定性关系从句仅对名词进行补充说明，对名词不起限制作用。
本题应该用非限定性关系从句，因为省略从句，句子的含义仍然是完整的，所以选A

给个例子吧，理解起来方便一点：
Where's the money that I lent you?
He lent me 1000 dollars, which was exactly the amount I need.

princess, could you give an example that need use "that"? thanks.
