For many revisionist historians, Christopher Columbus has come to

personify devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that

has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere.

A.     devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that

has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere

B.     devastation and enslavement in the name of progress by

which native peoples of the Western Hemisphere

decimated

C.     devastating and enslaving in the name of progress those native

peoples of the Western Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.

D.     devastating and enslaving those native peoples of the western

Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.

E.      the devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that

have decimated the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere.

前人讨论的焦点在于A,E。虽然答案选A，但我还是觉得decimated的动作发出者应该是devastation and enslavement, 不是progress. 倾向E,但是E选项中变为the native peoples特指，这个the似乎无道理

又是一道争议题，我选E, 明明是复数嘛。。。

这道题我有至少8成的把握，E是正确答案。

E中，the定冠词的使用是没有问题的。举个例子：

I like the book that you recommended.

I like book that you recommended.

哪个对？前一个吧。

即使抛开the的问题不谈，A也不对。

把A的结构简化一下，就是CC...personify devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that has decimated native peoples...

如果that从句修饰progress，来翻译一下这句话：

CC将其破坏与奴役人性化，以一种进步的名义，这种进步就是屠杀土著人。

句意荒谬。

that可以理解为定语后置。如果decimate的动作发出者是progress,那么句意是哥伦布把devastation和enslavement美化为杀人的进步，意思不通阿。我觉得句子想表达的意思是把杀人的devastation和enslavement美化为进步。

我觉得应该时A

decimate的动作发出者应该时progress

如果是你说的，那么that从句应该提前到它修饰的那个词后面
