Question

A new teachnique ____the yields as a whole increased by about 30 percent.

A.had applied      B.having applied      C.to have applied       D.having been applied

Answer 1

D

解析:

句意为：“由于采用了新工艺，产量总体上增加了百分之二十。”本题考查独立主格结构。a new technique在逻辑上它是非谓语动词apply 的逻辑宾语，而本句的非谓语动词的动作又发生在谓语动词之前，所以应用having been applied。句子的完整形式是：Because a new technique had been applied， the yields as a whole increased by about 30 percent.。
