220. For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788, England exiled some 160,000 criminals to Australia.
(A)For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788,
(B)Beginning in 1788 for a period of a hundred years,
(C)Beginning a period of almost a hundred years, in 1788
(D)During a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788,
(E)Over a period of a hundred years beginning in 1788,

答案是E,不過感覺好像B也可以選..
關於og對B的解釋不大理解
想請問關於B.C選項錯誤的地方...

這一題典型考應用分詞構句時,是否適當地修飾後面的主詞!!
B用beginning in...當開頭,即表示此分詞構句用來形容後面的主詞England
而這一題a period of a hundred years beginning in 1788當作時間副詞,用來說明後面整件事的發生時間...

Aside from being wordy and awkward, choice A is illogical: because its refers grammatically to England, A states nonsensically that England had its beginning in 1788. Choice B is similarly illogical, because the initial verb phrase Beginning in 1788... modifies England, the subject of the main clause. Choice C is imprecise, saying that England in 1788 was Beginning a period... but not conveying the sense that anything happened within that period. Choice D is awkward and unidiomatic, and nonsensically suggests that a hundred years is defined as a period beginning in 1788. Precise and idiomatically phrased, choice E is best.

你不妨以脫節修飾片語來看　就可排除BC

此外，這句強調的是一段期間的概念，BC沒有辦法表達這樣的概念

不好意思,要問個蠢問題,請教一下,那E為什麼沒有這樣的疑慮呢?謝謝 :^)

E前面是時間副詞
不會有修飾主詞的問題~

請問D又錯在哪呢?

OG 上的解釋是說 Choice D is awkward and unidiomatic, and nonsensically suggests that a hundred years is defined as a period beginning in 1788.

但是我還是不懂到底哪裡不對?

這個問題我也想問,除了
1.莫老師說的"during"後一定要加"the"
2.剛開始不能領悟為什麼要加"the",後來發現是因為後面同位語提到"自1788年開始"--有指定,所以要加"the"

請問有沒有另外的解釋呢?? :oo

若要選D
我直覺認為
During a period, a hundred years beginging....會比原句好

我想og的意思是不是說：
D的意思荒謬，因為用了同位語的結構..
During a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788, England...
變成了：100年就是一段從1788年開始的一段期間
所以D is nonsensically... :PP

OG對於D也是用非限定用法來加以否決
以後看到同位語的敏感度要更高了...這對於句意有關鍵性的影響

看到老莫用the來負負得正變回限定用法也是一絕

(A): its 不知指啥, (C) 改變句意. 這兩個選項容算是易排除 => (B) (D) (E) 要選一個. 知道 (E) 比較好, 但是 (B) (D) 哪裡不好倒是推敲了很久
(B) Beginning in 1788 a period of a hundred years => England began in 1788 for a period of a hundred years => 不合邏輯 (好像英國只有一百年歷史)
(D) a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788; 意思:凡一百年就是1788 到 1888. 所以 "the" hundred years 才合理. 看了半天的 OG 解釋加上前人的注解, 總算茅塞頓開.
