选项分析:

A选项:Correct. 本选项在语法上和逻辑上均是正确的。连词but身后省略了主语sunspots。

B选项:that never have been sighted是限定性定语从句,其就近修饰名词dark spots,即,have been sighted的主语是dark spots,但是,在逻辑上,从来不在太阳的极点和赤道上被看见的(have never been sighted on the Sun’s poles or equator)应该是太阳黑子(sunspots)而不是黑子(dark spots)。

C选项:本选项措辞有误。appear是“出现”的意思。在逻辑上,是在地球上看Sunspots时,它们长成黑点(dark spots)的样子,即,可视为黑子(are visible as dark spots)。如果用appear as dark spots,则好像是在说,Sunspots自己就出现为黑点的模样。这显然是不合逻辑的,在太阳上看,Sunspots可不是黑点,而是各种太阳的运动。

D选项:
本选项错误同(C)。

E选项:
which never have been sighted是非限定性定语从句,其应该就近修饰复数名词dark spots,逻辑主语错误同(B)。
