E、Most of Port Royal sank into the Caribbean because of an earthquake, the effect of which was
答案
D
解析
The sentence is meant to indicate that an earthquake caused most of Port Royal to sink into the Caribbean. However, the sentence as stated has two major flaws:
First, as the sentence is worded, the phrase that caused most of Port Royal to sink into the Caribbean modifies The effect of the earthquake. This implies that the effect is what caused most of Port Royal to sink, whereas it was the earthquake itself that caused most of Port Royal to sink.
Second, the comparison is faulty: the effect is compared to the eruption. Presumably, the earthquake itself is what is meant to be compared to the eruption.
A This choice suffers from the two major flaws discussed above.
B This choice attaches the modifier as the
result of an earthquake to most of Port Royal. This implies, confusingly, that most of Port Royal was the result of an earthquake. Furthermore, the sentence improperly compares the effect to the eruption, whereas the earthquake itself is what should be compared to the eruption.
C This choice places the modifying phrase in its effects immediately before the sinking, suggesting that we are discussing the effects of the sinking rather than the effects of the earthquake.
D Correct. This choice properly compares the earthquake to the eruption that buried Pompeii.
E This choice improperly compares an effect of the earthquake to the eruption that buried Pompeii.
The correct answer is D.
