detected本来是原句的谓语动词,在该选项中做修饰成分,变成了附属结构; spheres that are estimated at 5 to 15 times结构复杂,that are可以去掉; gas spheres和the mass of Jupiter不对应,无法进行比较 (D) and has detected没有能够与之平行的对象; 比较双方不对应
(E) 随意添加they改变了原句的意思,原句并没有说一定就是astronomers进行了estimated; the solar system's largest planet同位语结构无法修饰Jupiter's mass
句子结构: An international team… has detected …the mass of Jupiter, the solar system’s largest planet.
补充说明:
GMAT语法题的原句一定可以让你看得出该句子的逻辑意思,句子的重心以及动作发生的先后. 原句 中的句子重心(比如说修饰成分, 谓语动词),以及动作发生的先后跟最后正确选项是一样的. 原句的逻 辑意思会有错误,但是一定是很明显的逻辑关系错误, 整个句子的逻辑关系还是可以让考生明白的.
