E
解析
Logical predication; Rhetorical construction
The intent of the sentence is to compare seasonal rainfall patterns in the United States and Sri Lanka. There are many ways to set up such comparisons: unlike x, y; in comparison with x, y; compared to x, y; and so on. The x and y being compared must be grammatically and logically parallel. An alternative way of stating the comparison is the use of two independent clauses connected by but. The original sentence compares the United States to the rains in most parts of Sri Lanka; this illogical comparison cannot convey the writer’s intention.
A This sentence illogically compares the United States to the rains in most parts of Sri Lanka.
B Comparing United States farmers to the rains in most parts of Sri Lanka is not logical.
C The sentence awkwardly and illogically seems to be comparing most parts of the United States with most parts of Sri Lanka’s rains.
D This sentence compares the United States and the rains in most parts of Sri Lanka.
E Correct. This sentence uses two independent clauses to make the comparison. The first clause describes conditions in the United States, and the second clause describes conditions in Sri Lanka. The comparison is clear and logical.
The correct answer is E.
