According to scientists who monitored its path, an expanding cloud of energized particles ejected from the Sun recently triggered a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds Earth, which brightened the Northern Lights and also possibly knocking out a communications satellite.

题目分析:
本题划线部分虽然很长,但是变化的内容并不多。我们可以在划线部分的后半段发现平行制造者and。其连接的两者需要在逻辑上和语形上保持一致。这一点就能排除掉不少选项。
选项分析:
A选项:首先,which brightened the Northern Lights是定语从句,also possibly knocking out a communications satellite是分词短语,应是伴随状语,两者无法保持平行。
其次,本选项真正的错误出现在which brightened the Northern Lights这个定语从句的先行词上。在语法上其先行词为最近的名词,即,Earth。但在逻辑上,真正能点亮北极光的应该是an expanding cloud of energized particles。(knocking out a communications satellite的逻辑主语错误与本选项同理)
B选项:本选项没有语法错误,干扰性较强。代词it的指代对象为an expanding cloud of energized particles,这是没有问题的。但是,此处的“点亮北极光”和“使卫星失效”应该用伴随状语的形式,不能用合句的形式。在本题中,“电子云引起了地球周围的磁场风暴”实际上是“点亮北极光”和“使卫星失效”的根本原因,因此“电子云引起了地球周围的磁场风暴”和“使卫星失效”不能是并列关系,必须是有强有弱的主从关系。即,“电子云引起了地球周围的磁场风暴”为主句,“点亮北极光”和“使卫星失效”为从句(伴随)。
C选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
D选项:brighten和knock out在本选项中的发出者为a large storm,但在逻辑上,应该是an expanding cloud of energized particles点亮了北极光和切断了信号,不是暴风雨;另外,brighten和knock out应是trigger的伴随状语错误同(B)。
E选项:brighten和knock out都应是trigger的伴随状语,两者应该保持语法上的平行。
A which brightened ... and also knocking ..., brightened和knocking不能并列
E brightening ... and it knocked不能并列
D it多余
BC语法上都对,但是B说的是”an expanding cloud导致了a large storm,这个cloud还brightened ... 和knocked out...“,C的意思是”cloud产生storm,同时还brightened ...和knocked out ...“,因为是伴随状语修饰主句,brighten和knocked out是跟着storm的形成同时出现的,不是一前一后,C的意思更准确。
