考题讲解

题目分析:
不同选项mass的所有者不同,在(A)(B)(E)中,mass的所有者是their;在(C)(D)中,mass的所有者是its。请注意,all the other planets身前是否加of对于本题影响不大,加上或者不加均可。

选项分析:

A选项:each contributing according to their需改为 each contributing according to its。代词each是单数,their的指代对象是all the other planets,每一个行星只能由于自己的质量(mass)和距离(distance)决定,不能说是由于所有其他行星的质量和距离决定。

B选项:their应改为its错误同选项(A)。

C选项:each of which contributing according to its mass and distance from the others是非限定性定语从句,其中缺少谓语动词。

D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

E选项:their应改为its错误同选项(A);定语从句中的谓语动词contribute主谓一致有误。
