D、cousins; they are often green and striped, or with plenty of bumps and bruises, although
E、cousins; they are often green and striped, or have plenty of bumps and bruises, but they are
答案 E
解析 Logical predication; Grammatical construction
The sentence is intended to say that, although heirloom tomatoes may appear to be less appetizing than the round, red supermarket variety, the often green and striped or bumpy and bruised heirloom tomatoes actually are more flavorful. Any version of the sentence in which green and striped, have bumps and bruises, or are more flavorful appear to modify round and red supermarket cousins is ill-formed.
A In this version of the sentence, often green and striped, have plenty of bumps and bruises, and are more flavorful all illogically appear to modify round and red supermarket cousins rather than heirloom tomatoes.
B In this version of the sentence as well, often green and striped, with plenty of bumps and bruises, and although more flavorful all illogically appear to modify round and red supermarket cousins rather than heirloom tomatoes.
C In this version of the sentence, often green and striped illogically appears to modify round and red supermarket cousins rather than heirloom tomatoes.
D Although in this version green and striped and with plenty of bumps and bruises clearly, and correctly, modify heirloom tomatoes, the or in they are often green and striped, or with plenty of bumps and bruises is unnecessary and awkward. Furthermore, the final clause is ungrammatical and should say although they are more flavorful.
E Correct. In this version of the sentence, green and striped, with plenty of bumps and bruises, and are more flavorful clearly, and correctly, modify heirloom tomatoes, and the phrases in the sentence are appropriately parallel with one another.
The correct answer is E.
