The thousands of volcanic islands and coral atolls of the South Seas have a total population of about four million, but the paucity of natural resources
does not permit such economic development that would be needed by them to support more population.
选项
A、does not permit such economic development that would be needed by them to support more population
B、does not permit economic development such as is needed for supporting a larger number
C、does not permit the economic development needed to support a larger population
D、do not permit the economic development needed to support a larger population
E、do not permit needed economic development for supporting a larger number of people
答案
C
解析
Diction; Agreement; Rhetorical construction
The use of that in does not permit such economic development that would be needed is incorrect. That should be replaced with as. However, even if this correction were made, the sentence would still be poorly worded. The antecedent of them (volcanic islands and coral atolls) is too far separated from the pronoun, and the use of the passive voice (would be needed by them) lacks the clarity and rhetorical force the active voice would have provided (they would need). That said, it would be preferable to avoid the such ... as form entirely. Does not permit the economic development needed to support a larger population conveys the same idea more succinctly.
A The sentence has the problems discussed above.
B Such as is needed is awkward; a larger number is unclear.
C Correct. This version clearly and concisely conveys the intended idea.
D The subject of the verb is paucity, which is singular; thus, do is incorrect and should be replaced with does.
E The subject of the verb is paucity, which is singular; thus, do is incorrect and should be replaced with does; also, needed economic development for supporting a larger number of people is awkward.
The correct answer is C.
