题目分析：
本题将多个小句进行了主从句的变换，着重考查考生对于主从句的把握。

选项分析：

A选项：被命名为a mythological nymph（having been named for a mythological nymph who cared for the infant Jupiter）在本选项中是伴随状语，“Ida被发现（the asteroid named Ida was discovered in 1884）”是主句。这是不正确的。依据图形背景原则，“被命名为a mythological nymph”不能是“Ida先被发现”的背景。因为，在逻辑上，应是Ida先被发现，然后才是被命名，两者不具有时间轴上谁大于谁的问题。

B选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

C选项：本选项没有谓语动词（discovered和named在本选项中均是过去分词，身前需要加be动词（系动词）才能成为谓语动词（被动语态））。

D选项：句末的to do不定式（to orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter）在本选项中是asteroids的后置定语。其考查了“不定式和从句的区别”。用之于本题，主句“Ida是在小行星带中的”事件的发生对“小行星带环绕太阳”这个事件发生与否没有直接影响（你不能说，ida在小行星带后，触发了这些小行星带环绕太阳吧？这两个事件均是客观事实，不存在谁触发谁）。因此，只能用that orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter这个从句的形式。

E选项：to orbit不能做asteriods的定语错误同(D)。另外，本选项中的an asteroid discovered in 1884 和which was named for a mythological nymph who cared for the infant Jupiter不平行。这是因为，前者是同位语，后者是定语，两者的功能不同（如果两者都是定语，则可以平行），所以不能用and连接。
