问题 Because the collagen fibers in skin line up in the direction of tension, surgical cuts made along these so-called Langer’s lines sever fewer fibers and is less likely to leave an unsightly scar.

选项 A、Because the collagen fibers in skin line up in the direction of tension, surgical cuts made along these so-called Langer’s lines sever fewer
B、Because the collagen fibers in skin line up in the direction of tension, a surgical cut having been made along these so-called Langer’s lines severs less
C、Because the collagen fibers in skin line up in the direction of tension, a surgical cut made along these so-called Langer’s lines severs fewer
D、With the collagen fibers in skin lining up in the direction of tension, surgical cuts made along these so-called Langer’s lines sever less
E、With the collagen fibers in skin lining up in the direction of tension, a surgical cut made along these so-called Langer’s lines sever fewer

答案C

解析 Agreement; Diction
This sentence explains a causal connection between the alignment of collagen fibers and the impact of a particular type of surgical cut. Because is appropriate to express that causal relationship. The singular verb in the phrase is less likely to leave requires a singular subject (cut) and must be coordinated with another singular verb (severs). Because fibers are countable, the correct modifier is fewer rather than less.
A The plural subject cuts does not agree with the singular verb is.
B The verb form having been made is inconsistent with the present tense verb severs; less inappropriately modifies countable fibers.
C Correct. The adverbial conjunction because accurately captures the causal relationship expressed by the sentence. The singular subject cut agrees with the singular verbs severs and is, and fewer appropriately modifies countable fibers.
D The preposition with does not capture the causal relationship expressed by the sentence; the plural subject cuts does not agree with the singular verbs (severs and is); and less is an inappropriate modifier for countable fibers.
E As in (D), the preposition with fails to capture the causal relationship between alignment of fibers and scarring. The plural verb sever does not agree with the singular subject cut and the subsequent singular verb is.
The correct answer is C.
