Part of the following sentence is underlined; beneath the sentence are five ways of phrasing the underlined material. Select the option that produces the best sentence. If you think the original phrasing produces a better sentence than any of the alternatives, select choice A.

The gong, believed to have originated in Western Asia, reached China in the sixth century, where it continues to be used for a wide range of purposes, including as a military signal, a rhythmic accompaniment for vocal performance, and a ritual instrument.

A. including as
B. which include
C. which includes
D. including
E. they include as

答案是A,求原因
不要照抄官方的,就是看了,没弄明白
我语法不好,详细的分析下句子~~THX

典型题目,一楼的说法有道理,但是这么理解比较牵强,真正做题时不会想到这一点。其实这句话意思是“作为……的目的”AS后面用来修饰目的,所以一定要这么选,其实就是include purposes as a military signal, a rhythmic accompaniment for vocal performance, and a ritual instrument.用不着猜测出题人的意思,根据语言结构只有A是语法正确能让人理解的。
这么说能明白吗?

这道题我也做了.是今天的official question吧.
看一下这道题目,首先可以排除E.因为they放在这里会不恰当,这样会使得前半句子不完整,后半句子也不完整.
然后剩下的选项就是出题者的用意了.include这个动词要refer前面的一个名词,很显然,在这个句子中要refer的是purposes,不是THE gong.如果选B,C,D的话就会制代不清楚,终究是the gong include还是purposes include.
