1.IDIOM:
用competition from 来自XXX的竞争 而不是competition by例句:The firm was badly hit by competition from abroad.可排除ACD
2.that 做代词
一般代指单数或不可数名词 不会代指整个句子!!!而A和C的before that的that都是想指前面整句话(发生改变之前)
3.B的结构有问题 once a XXX state一个名词作为initial modifier, RON说过following subject必须要与这个名词对应 后面的competition显然不可以应该是Pennsylvania
4. D也是漏洞百出,用了competition by;开头的代词it和先行词隔得太远
就选E,其他都太ugly了不想说
it不能指代所有格!
A. competition from sb/sth;that不能指代整个句子
B. grain-producing state无法同位修饰competition
C. that不能指代整个句子;in the mid-nineteenth century修饰了large western farms错误,应该紧跟competition。
D.competition from sb/sth;cause用过去进行时错误。Pennsylvania's在's里不能被it指代
A. it指代错误,且that用法错误,不能指代前面出现的整个句子
B. a grain-producing state做了competition的同位语,错误;且不必要用过去进行时
C. 找it的先行词,显然不能是P’s farmers,符合单复数形式、能被it指代的是livestock raising,但带入划线部分替换it发现逻辑错误,因此it用法错误;that错误同A
D. It指代错误,同A
E. 正确
