不是大牛的晚輩我來獻醜
我想這題應該沒這麼複雜
those代替the reasons
其他就是硬梆梆比較
The reasons for yesterday’s sharp rise
those behind last week’s rally

A) 錯=> the reasons是複數, that 應改為those
C) 錯=> what=the things that(or which) 在這裡會redundant, 只需用those即可; 且也可用what 會引導一個名詞子句來排除這個選項; 且the reasons為複數, was-> were
D) 錯=> the reasons是複數, that 應改為those, 且for多餘
E) 錯=> they變成原來的the reasons, 變成同一組的原因, 但實際上解釋昨天上升的原因和解釋上週的原因不可能是同一組
