长难句(43)
A survey of news stories in 1996 reveals that the antiscience tag has been attached to many other groups as well, from authorities who advocated the elimination of the last remaining stocks of smallpox virus to Republicans who advocated decreased funding for basic research.
02
分析
●主语是A survey of news stories in 1996attached,reveals是谓语,that引导宾语从句,其中the antiscience tag是主语, has been attached to是被动形式构成谓语,many other groups宾语结构,后面 from authorities …to Republicans…是状语,两个who分别引导定语从句修饰前面的名词。
