structure 2: "X but Y"
this construction signifies some sort of general contrast between X and Y, but lacks the semantic sense that Y is a substitute for X.
for instance:
i am not a doctor but can fix your broken finger.
background:
structure 1: "not X but Y"
this construction signifies that "X" is expected, normal, or customary in the given situation but that "Y" is what is actually present / has happened / will happen.

E选项:overcome by pollution是过去分词短语,routinely falling from the sky above Los Angeles freeways是现在分词短语,两者在语法上可以由and连接表示平行。但是,在逻辑上,这两句并没有并列关系,该错误同(C);
prompt不应用过去进行时。
为什么我不能把conducted看成是个过去分词短语呢。答案是否定的,因为公司必须要主动发出conduct(实施)这个动作,而过去分词短语只能表示被动。
as 因为 原因状语从句
本题最重要的是需要知道each除了可以单独做代词之外,还可以做同位语,例如:
We each scored high in GMAT。
D would need 有each 也不可能是needs 有would
A选项:本选项错误在于划线部分应该用主动语态而非被动语态。未划线部分讲的是:游客被告知xxx。在逻辑上,如果是告诫某人做某事,必然是用主动语序的
B: 把签证等名词改成复数
E在选项的开头已经出现了代词they做主语,最后又出现了for each of them,这两者中有一个是赘余的。

new findings are indicative.
这是不正确的,应该是“新的发现揭示了一个事实”,而不是“新的发现是象征性的(indicative)”。
“克林顿开了一整天关于新发现的会议”不会导致“新的发现揭示一个事实”这个事件的发生或停止(不论是否开会宣布新发现,它都在那里),因此,应该用ing短语。
via(通过)+(a)ble=viable"可通过的"可行的
The first presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are being evaluated in the argument; the second is a judgment providing (主动提供)a basis for the argument's advocacy of a particular strategy.
D 怎么能无关呢? 如果有些人懂得怎么怎样繁衍野花不就值得采摘了吗
