(A) used nor otherwise profiting
(B) had used nor otherwise did they profit
(C) have used or otherwise to have profited
(D) used or otherwise profited
(E) had used or otherwise to profit
答案为是E,请问这句话什么意思,而且这句话对吗,里面只有一个连词But,process后面直接加they?

优质解答：
译文：居里夫妇发现了镭,但是拒绝对他们使用的方法申请专利,也拒绝从商业开发镭中牟利.
but是用来连接两个动词discovered 和 refused用的,
process 后面的定语从句的关系代词that因为在从句中作宾语被省略了：the process (that) they had used
再问： 问你一下，如果把这句话拆开，前半句不要。变为 refused to patent the process，they had used or otherwise to profit from the commercial exploitation of radium. 这句话对么？
再答： 如果拆开，那么后半句话应该把or 也去掉，变成: they had used otherwise to profit from the commercial exploitation of radium. 句子本身没有问题，但是意思变成了：居里夫妇本来可以利用商业开发镭来获取利润的。
再问： 差不多明白了，再问一下，原句中or是个连词吧，那otherwise是什么意思？代词？
再答： or 是连词。otherwise是副词，“否则”的意思
