选项
A、which, like the heavy rains that caused more than $2 billion in damages and led to flooding throughout the state of California,
B、which, like the heavy rains that throughout the state of California caused more than $2 billion in damages and led to flooding,
C、like the heavy flooding that, because of rains throughout the state of California, caused more than $2 billion in damages,
D、such as the heavy flooding that led to rains throughout the state of California causing more than $2 billion in damages,
E、such as the heavy rains that led to flooding throughout the state of California, causing more than $2 billion in damages,
答案
E
解析
Grammatical construction: Logical predication
This sentence introduces the claim that global warming is considered to be the cause of extreme weather changes and then illustrates these changes with two examples introduced by the phrase such as. The correct causal sequence of events in the first example is heavy rain, which caused significant damage and flooding. The relative pronoun which, referring to changes, is lacking a verb to complete the relative clause.
A The relative pronoun, which, is without a verb. The phrase which, like the heavy rains incorrectly suggests that the extreme weather is something different from the heavy rains and the heat wave, and that each of these three phenomena separately caused damage and destruction.
B As in (A), the relative pronoun has no verb to complete the phrase, and the sequence of events in the first example positions costly destruction and flooding as two separate or unrelated results of the rain.
C The causal sequence in the first example is confusing, suggesting, somewhat implausibly, that heavy flooding occurred on its own but caused damage only because of the rain.
D The sequential logic of the first example is confused—indicating, implausibly, that flooding caused heavy rain and that the rain, but not the flooding, caused more than $2 billion in damages.
E Correct. This version of the sentence correctly uses the phrase such as to introduce the two examples of extreme weather changes, and it correctly identifies the sequence of events in the first example.
The correct answer is E.
