在英语语法当中,代词(it/this/that/which) 只能指代前文出现过的名词,而不能指代句子或者动作.
比如,Hans doesn't have breakfast everyday; this/that/it will harm his health.
或者 Hans doesn't have breakfast everyday,which will harm his health.
都是错的,(which这句话在我们高考语法中,是正确的,有特殊用法可以指代前面整句话的内容,但是SAT里是错的,因为which为关系代词,是个代词,就不能指代一句话).
只有一种情况,一个词可以概括或者指代一句话,那就是用同位语.还是上面那句话,下面这种说法就是对的:
Hans doesn't have breakfast everyday,a habit which will harm his health.
由"a habit"同位语概括前面这句话,然后which引导定语从句再修饰这个同位语名词.
在这句话中,就是同样的原因.E选项which不能指代前面整句话,在语法上which只能修饰紧跟的名词 colors,与原句义就不符了,而且后面的it更加的指代不清,简单的判断整句话都没有可数名词单数可以被这个it指代.
原本的意思是 "过去,许多著名的画家都小心翼翼的抛光他们的颜色,(这是) 一种引人注目的对细节的关注."
