答案
C
解析
Diction; Verb form
The point of this sentence is to explain the implications of a contrary-to-fact state of affairs (Los Angeles metropolitan area as a nation). The subjunctive verb form is needed (were... would have). To attribute this proposed state of affairs to the calculations of an anonymous agent (one) causes unnecessary wordiness. The implication of the hypothetical situation is that the Los Angeles area would have the eleventh-largest gross national product (GNP) in the world, a GNP that is further described as larger than the GNP of any of three nations named. This descriptive information is most efficiently presented as a terminal adjective phrase.
A By introducing the subject one, the opening clause becomes unnecessarily wordy and indirect. The relative clause at the end of the sentence causes additional wordiness. The present indicative verb form is in the phrase that is bigger than ... is inconsistent with the conditional context established earlier in the sentence (were ... would). Since Los Angeles is not a nation, its national product is purely hypothetical and contrary to fact.
B Because the if clause introduces a situation that is contrary to fact, the verbs is counted and has should be subjunctive and conditional, respectively (were counted and would have).The relative pronoun phrase that being is awkward, wordy, and repetitive.
C Correct. The subjunctive mood of the verbs is appropriate to the contrary-to-fact situation being described, and the terminal adjective phrase without an introductory relative pronoun is an appropriate way of making the comparison among GNPs.
D Although the opening subjunctive verb is appropriate, it must be followed by a conditional verb in the main clause; the relative clause at the end of the sentence, beginning with which is, is indirect and wordy. As in (A), is is not the most appropriate verb form to express a counterfactual condition.
E The verbs is counted... has are incorrect for describing a contrary-to-fact situation. Beginning the final adjective phrase with the word thus makes the relationship of the phrase to the rest of the sentence unclear.
The correct answer is C.
