Q2:
The discovery that Earth’s inner core rotates independently of and more quickly than Earth’s outer layers is responsible for advancing studies of the flow of heat from the inner through the outer planet and of the formation and periodic reversal in direction of Earth’s magnetic field.

A.core rotates independently of and more quickly than Earth’s outer layers is responsible for advancing studies of the flow of heat from the inner through the outer planet and of the formation and periodic reversal in direction of Earth’s magnetic field
B.core rotates independently of and more quickly than Earth’s outer layers is responsible for advancing studies of how heat from the inner core flows through the outer planet, and the formation and periodic reversal in direction of Earth’s magnetic field
C.core rotates independently and more quickly than Earth’s outer layers are responsible for advancing studies of how heat from the inner core flows through the outer planet, and how Earth’s magnetic field forms and the periodic reversal of its direction
D.core, rotating independently and more quickly than Earth’s outer layers, are responsible for advancing studies of the flow of heat from the inner through the outer planet, and the formation and periodic reversal in direction of Earth’s magnetic field
E.core, rotating independently of and more quickly than Earth’s outer layers, is responsible for advancing studies of the flow of heat from the inner through the outer planet and of how Earth’s magnetic field forms and the periodic reversal of its direction

答案是A，我的疑問是為什麼E不可以呢?
是因為of the flow of heat...這句話跟and後面的of how Earth's magnetic...不平衡嗎?

自己頂一下....
有人可以幫忙回答嗎~

我的想法是
E的 rotating 修釋對象不明確, 有點像是在修飾discovery

[changela]

我覺得是主要子句 the discovery...沒有動詞
is 應該是that 字句的的動詞吧
不知道我有沒有看錯

都沒有大大要來解這一題，小弟來寫一下好了，不對地方再請各位NN再幫忙看一下。

be independent of 是慣用法--> C,D 不對

(B), and 前後不平衡。前面用 how 子句，後面是名詞詞組
(E) 改變句意。這個要看懂文章在講什麼。

文章意思是"the discovery that......is responsible for"。如果選(E)變成 core is responsible for
問題是 advancing studies怎麼可歸因於"core"，不合句意。

---------------------------------------------分隔線------------------------------------------------------------------------
看看正確選項(A)

and 前後平衡兩個 of +名詞詞組，修飾advancing studies
independently of 的 of 也沒有不當省略
