改错题 1.Clouds are formed from the evaporation of the oceans' water that is warmed by the sun and rises high into the atmosphere, condensing in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】Rhetorical construction; Logical predication
This sentence describes a multistep process by which ocean water is transformed into clouds. These steps are most clearly presented in chronological order, with ocean water as the main subject of the sentence.
A This sentence provides no sense of steps and illogically suggests that the oceans' water evaporates after it rises high into the atmosphere.
B The antecedent for the relative pronoun which is ambiguous, again suggesting that oceans rise high.
C Correct. The sequence of steps in a cloud's formation is clear.
D The nonchronological order of the steps by which clouds are produced is confusing, suggesting that dust forms clouds.
E The relative pronoun which grammatically refers to atmosphere, creating a nonsensical claim that the atmosphere, rather than the water, condenses.
The correct answer is C.
