问题 From the bark of the paper birch tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons or eight hundred pounds of baggage so light that a person could easily portage it around impeding rapids.
选项 A、baggage so light
B、baggage being so light
C、baggage, yet being so light
D、baggage, and so light
E、baggage yet was so light
答案E
解析 A、B中错在so light的修饰对象是不明确的，如果说修饰baggage，翻译过来就是：行李很轻以致一个人都能很容易在急流中将独木舟搬上岸。这样的结果从句和主句的关系似乎不相关，或者说太牵强；但其他名词离so light太远，以致它在语法上不可能修饰其他名词；B中being是多余的；而在C、D中，由于有转折连接诃yet或并列连词and的出现，要求前面有和yet／and之后的so light相转折的含义或相并列的成分，但找不到。答案是E。was so light与could carry并列，共同修饰a canoe。这样so…that的句意也就可以理解了，即：独木舟很轻以致一个人都能容易地在急流中把它搬上陆地。
