考题讲解

题目分析:
有两个习惯表达需积累,the number of+复数名词,谓语动词用单数;a number of +复数名词,谓语动词用复数。

选项分析:

A选项:have been reduced需改为has been reduced,与主语number of wild salmon保持主谓一致;because of uncontrolled deep-sea and coastal netting需改为by uncontrolled deep-sea and coastal netting。这是因为,A, B, and C需要保证A,B,C三者平行。

B选项:A, B, and C平行错误同选项(A)。 

C选项:A, B, and C平行错误同选项(A);the numbers of错误,只有the number of和numbers of;and平行错误同(A)。 

D选项:一般现在时are reduced需改为现在完成时have reduced。一般现在时表示的是客观真理和事实,而显然这件事并非“真理”,仅仅是到现在为止的情况。

E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
