The cottontail rabbit population in Orange County, California, has increased unchecked in recent years as a result of the removal of the native fox population and the clearing of surrounding woodlands.
(A) years as a result of the removal of
(B) years as a result of removing
(C) years, resulting from the removing of
(D) years, which is a result of removing
(E) years, which is a result of the removal of
原文意思:兔子数量增加是由the removal和the clearing两个原因导致的。
题目分析:原文那两个原因由and连接形成并列,A前后都是名词词组,可以用and连接,留着。
B前面用removing是动名词,和后面的the clearing名词不对应,干掉。
Cthe removing和后面the clearing对应,但是resulting from这个词的发起者是谁?这个选项没说,需要我自己填上去,不好,干掉。
Dremoving和后面不对应,干掉。
Ethe removal和后面可以对应,但是which is a result of 显然没有A直接说好,选A。
