问题 The following questions present a sentence, part of which or all of which is underlined. Beneath the sentence you will find five ways of phrasing the underlined part. The first of these repeats the original; the other four are different. If you think the original is best, choose the first answer; otherwise choose one of the others.
   These questions test correctness and effectiveness of expression. In choosing your answer, follow the requirements of standard written English; that is, pay attention to grammar, choice of words, and sentence construction. Choose the answer that produces the most effective sentence; this answer should be clear and exact, without awkwardness, ambiguity, redundancy, or grammatical error.
His opponent having sprained his wrist, Andrew could have won by exploiting this weakness, but he chose not to do it.
选项 A、His opponent having sprained his wrist, Andrew could have won by exploiting this weakness, but he chose not to do it.
B、Andrew could have won by exploiting this weakness after his opponent sprained his wrist, but he chose not to do so.
C、Choosing not to do so, Andrew could have won after his opponent sprained his wrist by exploiting this weakness.
D、After his opponent sprained his wrist, Andrew could have won by exploiting this weakness, but he chose not to do so.
E、After his opponent sprained his wrist, Andrew could have, but chose not to do it, won by exploiting this weakness.
答案D
解析 The problem with A is that it is unclear what the "it" at the end applies to: winning or exploiting the weakness. E has the same problem. The statements in B and C are presented in an illogical order, so it is more difficult to understand the meaning of the sentence. Of the choices, D is the clearest and conforms best to standards of written English.
