Since 后面主句应该用现在完成时而不是过去完成时
B选项 since… 逻辑主语是their descendents 语义错误
补充:B选项since releasing里面出现了releasing 这个动词,它需要有主语,而划线部分后面句子的主语是“他们的后代”,这个主语不能发出releasing这个动作,杀B。
C选项里出现了一个跟别人都不一样的东西,就是35年之前加了the, 加the 的名词是特指的,这个名词要带了修饰语,就可以加the。比如说,in the short 35 years since, in the 35 years that surprised many scientists, 就应该有the, 而在C选项中这35年是没有加修饰语的,不应该加the。Since后面用的是过去完成时,释放发生在迁徙之前,迁徙已经是过去完成时,释放用过去完成时,时态上可以接受,但是语义上,since应该接的是一个单点的时间点,自从是自从一个时间点,而不是自从一个阶段性时间区间,而过去完成时的语义表达的是“已完成”,作为since的起点时间,是无法实现精准的。C选项可以放弃。
