GMAT考试SC语法题The Glass House Mountains求解答
The Glass House Mountains in Queensland,Australia,were sighted in 1770 by the English navigator Captain James Cook,by whom they were named supposedly because its sheer wet rocks glistened like glass.（A）:by whom they were named supposedly because its（B）:by whom they were named supposedly and their（C）:naming them supposedly since their（D）:who so named them supposedly because their（E）:who so named it since supposedly their

Answer 1

A.its 无法指代mountains 故指代错误
B.被动的表达不够简洁有效,不如主动,出现被动就要特别留意一下!并且缺少可以表示出因果联系的连词.
C.since在表达因果时不如because.
E.it 错误指代,since supposedly their..表达扭曲了句意.应该是 "可能是因为" 而不是 "因为可能"
所以正确的选D喽
