947. Young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits caused by the desire to be as thin as possible.
(A) Young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits caused by the desire to be as thin as possible.
(B) Good eating habits sometimes fail to be maintained by young female ballet dancers and gymnasts caused by desiring to be as thin as possible.
(C) Because they desire to be as thin as possible, good eating habits are sometimes not maintained by young female ballet dancers and gymnasts.
(D) Because they desire to be as thin as possible, young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits.
(E) Young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits because they desire to be as thin as possible.

Key: (D)
我選(E)
因為覺得(D)的they在所代名詞之前出現，不是最好；且調換原句主題句，所以不選，而選清楚的(E)
請問這兩者有何差別？為什麼(D)是正確答案？

再麻煩高手回答了..3Q3Q

[fiona]

E中的they，可能會指dancers，也可能會指habits，所以不如D好囉

[jacob]

這題DE的選擇是不是也可以用"由輕到重"來解釋呢 ?
主要子句長 , 副詞子句短, 所以放在前面講
避免頭重腳輕

To Fiona:
你的講法是CD上的，但是...
我覺得恐怕是錯的。
還是感謝你的熱心!!

^+++^
因為這題偶一開始也是選E
是看到了人家用指代不清的解釋才把自己給說服
不知道該怎麼思考這一題才是正確的哩??
是jacob說的由輕到重嘛
請各位高手指教囉，謝謝

D和E長的一模一樣
只是順序顛倒
請問一下
E不好的地方在哪裡呢

[sweetymanman]

看看大全的解釋：

D is best.
E:
其一they有指代不清之嫌, 不如D清楚。
其二I do not think A, because B 的意思只有：因爲B，所以不認爲A（I don't think A and the reason is B)
I do not think A because B的意思可能是：因爲B，所以不認爲A (I don't think A and the reason is B)or 不是因爲B才認爲A(I think A and the reason is not B)，一般取後者。
逗號很關鍵,沒有逗號會引起歧義，書面語中一般取後者，口語中根據重音決定。

When because follows a negated verb phrase, it should be preceded by a comma when the because clause explains why the event did not occur.

EX: He didn't marry her, because she was frivolous means roughly, “Her frivolity was his reason for not marrying her.”

When no comma is used, the because clause is understood as part of what is being negated.

EX: He didn't marry her because she was frivolous means roughly, “His reason for marrying her was independent of her frivolity.”

套用在這一題

(D) Because they desire to be as thin as possible, young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits.

fail to maintain good eating habits, the reason is to be as thin as possible. 因為要瘦，舞者...沒有維持良好的飲食習慣----句意清楚

(E) Young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits because they desire to be as thin as possible.

fail to maintain good eating habits, the reason is to be as thin as possible. 沒有維持良好的飲食習慣，原因是要瘦
or
maintain good eating habits, the reason is not to be as thin as possible. 維持良好的飲食習慣，原因不是因為要瘦
所以E的解釋歧異

以上當作參考....其實我也有點模模糊糊的

[Ace]

(D) because they..... ,young~~
they比較清楚 可代主要子句主詞且離dancers近

(E)young..... habits..because they,they前面有兩個複數名詞,但離habits比較近
所以E相對而言不好

[pvdpvdpvd]

(E)
他們沒有因為要瘦而維持好習慣
他們因為要瘦而沒有維持好習慣 句意應該是這個
所以句意不清?
這實在很難一下比較出來
難怪人家說 副詞子句在前語氣較強 句意清楚 多選多選多選
