正确答案:
D:Barbara McClintock discovered a new class of mutant genes, a discovery that led
A. While studying状语从句的省略在句首,studying的逻辑主语为句子主语,执行studying动作的应该是人,a new class of mutant genes错误;要用that引导限制性定语从句。
B. 逻辑主语错误同A。leading在句尾做伴随结果,逻辑主语Barbara McClintock错误。
C. it无法指代前面整句因此无指代对象,最好用同位语。
D. correct。A discovery作为同位语指代前句,that指代a discovery,并且同位语从句里的that不省略。
E. studying的逻辑主语正确,who…genes作为插入语出现;整个句子缺少谓语动词
