问题 Many states, in search of industries that are clean, fast-growing, and pay good wages to skilled workers, are trying to attract high-technology industries.
选项 A、clean, fast-growing, and pay
B、clean, grow fast, and that pay
C、clean and fast-growing and that pay
D、clean and grow fast, paying
E、clean, fast-growing, and paying
答案 C
解析 The sentence lists three characteristics of the industries that many states most desire to attract. The answer choices each provide ways to conjoin these characteristics within the sentence.
Normally, a series of three nouns or adjectives would have a comma following each one, with and preceding the third. Note that this method requires adequate parallelism among the three items.
As written, the third of these characteristics is conveyed by a verb form, either pay or paying. However, the first of the three items is the adjective clean, which is of course not parallel with the verb pay.
A    This choice is incorrect for the reasons stated above.
B    The adjective clean is not parallel with pay.
C    Correct. Both clean and fast-growing are adjectives and are therefore parallel; they can correctly be conjoined by and. This choice creates a sentence with the relative clause that pay ... workers. Notice that the sentence has another relative clause that are clean and fast-growing. This relative clause parallels the other one. Using and to conjoin these two clauses, each modifying industries, is logical and correct.
D    The adjective clean is not parallel with the verb grow.
E    The adjective clean is not parallel with the verb form paying.
The correct answer is C.
