补充一个GWD的SC
In1713,AlexanderPopebegan｛histranslationoftheIlliad,aworkthat,takinghimsevenyearsuntilcompletion,andthatliterarycriticSamuelJohnson,Pope’scontemporary,pronounced｝thegreatesttranslationinanylanguage.
B.histranslationoftheIlliad,aworkthattookhimsevenyearstocompleteandthatliterarycriticSamuelJohnson,Pope’scontemporary,pronounced
D.translatingtheIlliad,aworkthattooksevenyearsuntilcompletionandthatliterarycriticSamuelJohnson,Pope’scontemporary,pronounceditas
OA是B,我觉得D也没什么问题啊,OA说it指代不清,可是我觉得pronounceditas当中的it明显指代上文所说的work啊,怎么会指代不清呢?
PS：看了2L的回答that...SJ,...,pronouncedas
其实就是SJ,...,pronouncedthatas
that省略可以,可以B选项连as都省略了,pronouncedthegreatesttranslationinanylanguage.感觉怪怪的.
