The spraying of pesticides can be carefully planned, but accidents,
weather conditions that could not be foreseen, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than they had
anticipated.
选项
A、weather conditions that could not be foreseen, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than they had
B、weather conditions that cannot be foreseen, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than
C、unforeseeable weather conditions, and pilot errors are the cause of much larger deposits of spray than they had
D、weather conditions that are not foreseeable, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than
E、unforeseeable weather conditions, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than they had
答案
B
解析
The only plural nouns that could potentially be the referent of they in this sentence are weather conditions and pilot errors. However, neither of these makes logical sense within the context of the sentence.
For the purposes of this sentence, it is clearer to use the impersonal than anticipated rather than they had anticipated. This is because it is not important who is anticipating the conditions under which the pesticides are sprayed. In other words, the statement is universal; the point is that these are unknowable conditions, rather than that some particular group failed to anticipate correctly the size of spray deposits.
A As indicated above, there is no reasonable referent for the pronoun they.
B Correct. The idea is conveyed clearly and cleanly.
C They has no reasonable referent.
D Weather conditions that are not foreseeable is an awkward construction. Either unforeseeable weather conditions or weather conditions that cannot be foreseen would be preferable.
E They has no reasonable referent.
The correct answer is B.
