[蛙蛙]

Puritan fanatics brought to civil and military affairs a coolness of judgment and mutability of purpose that some writers have though inconsistent with their religious zeal, but which was in fact a natural outgrowth of it.
(A) but which was in fact a natural outgrowth of it
(B) but which were in fact a natural outgrowth of it
(C) but which were in fact natural outgrowths of it
(D) but it was in fact a natural outgrowth of them
(E) which was in fact a natural outgrowth of it

答案是C

不好意思 完全不懂這題的結構

可不可以請各位大大指導一下呢???

先剖晰句子結構可知
Puritan fanatics 這是主詞
brought 動詞 其用法是 bring b to a
有時因為b本身修飾的關係 造成 舉子改寫成 bring to a "b"
以避免頭重腳輕 的結構出現
在這裡b是指a coolness of judgment and mutability of purpose
to A A就是 civil and military affairs

了解句型後就是要知道which修飾的對象
這裡which 所修飾的就是ba coolness of judgment and mutability of purpose 故用were 至於後面那個it是指religious zeal

謝謝 杜克大大

底線已經加上了

想再澄清一下 本題原來是不是寫成以下的型式呢???

Puritan fanatics brought a coolness of judgment and mutability of purpose that some writers have though inconsistent with their religious zeal to civil and military affairs, but which were in fact natural outgrowths of it.

that some writers have 是用來修飾a coolness of judgment and mutability of purpose
同時a coolness of judgment and mutability of purpose are not consistent with their religious zeal

這樣對嗎??

[freshmanduke]

是的 ^^

請問在此的結構 a coolness of judgment and mutability of purpose that .... but which ...是that與which做but連接詞的平行嗎? 有這樣的用法嗎?這不就與OG225的解釋不同了,見下:

OG225
Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states that still has a sizable wolf population, and where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep.
(A) that still has a sizable wolf population, and where
(B) that still has a sizable wolf population, where
(C) that still has a sizable population of wolves, and where
(D) where the population of wolves is still sizable;(E)
(E) where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where

OG解釋說關係代名詞的使用應該要一致, ... where ... and where...

[dibert8]

Puritan fanatics brought to civil and military affairs a coolness of judgment and mutability of purpose {that some writers have thought inconsistent with their religious zeal}, but {which were in fact natural outgrowths of it}.

兩個關係子句平衡: that(受格,限定用法)..., but which(主格,非限定用法)... ,共同的先行詞是 {a coolness of judgment} and {(a) mutability of purpose} ('判斷的冷靜'和'意欲的可變性'); it = zeal

a coolness of judgment 和 a mutability of purpose 平衡: a 加在不可數名詞所引導的片語前,片語中有其它資訊時 (i.e. judgment, purpose), 把名詞片語視為一個單位.

from Longman,
a [indefinite article]
used before nouns that are usually uncountable when other information about the quality, feeling etc is added by an adjective, phrase, or clause:
Candidates must have a good knowledge of chemistry.

[hwatai]

that, which 的在這題的指涉兩件事
感覺已經不太像現代的主流題型
