C
解析
Grammatical construction; Parallelism
The sentence (not a properly grammatical sentence as it stands) reports that the completion of the Holland Tunnel was hailed as an engineering masterpiece. Parenthetically, it seeks to describe characteristics of the tunnel that made it useful and perhaps help explain its enthusiastic reception. Questions to consider include: what is the proper antecedent of the relative pronoun which? And how would the tunnel’s two major characteristics be best described?
A The relative pronoun which is adjacent to New Jerseys highways, but contextually, the completion of the Holland Tunnel (or perhaps the Holland Tunnel) seems to be the pronoun’s antecedent. The relative clause has two verbal phrases permitted... and was hailed... coordinated with and. However, there is no properly grammatical sentence here, since there is no independent clause.
B The participial phrases linking... highways and permitting... hour are parallel and coordinated by and. This portion is correct and describes two characteristics of the tunnel. However, the addition of the pronoun it makes what precedes it into a mere sentence fragment, so there is no properly grammatical sentence here.
C Correct. The complex phrase linking.. . hour correctly exhibits parallelism between two participial phrases and modifies the Holland Tunnel. The phrase functions parenthetically, and the sentence as a whole has a coherent grammatical structure.
D The antecedent of the relative pronoun which is unclear and makes this version fail. Is it New Jersey’s highways, the whole preceding clause, or the completion of the Holland Tunnel? The relative pronoun is the subject both of permitted and of was hailed in the complex relative clause and must have the same antecedent in both cases. As the subject of was hailed, the pronour’s antecedent is the completion of the Holland Tunnel. As the subject of permitted, the pronoun cannot grammatically have that as its antecedent.Thus the complex relative clause which permitted. . . masterpiece is grammatically incoherent.
E This version makes was hailed... masterpiece into a mere sentence fragment, not properly coordinated with the remainder of the sentence.
The correct answer is C.
