Re: [問題] PP1-SC-54
※ 引述《A2GMAT (A兔GMAT)》之銘言:
: ※ 引述《chenemily (天天保持好心情)》之銘言:
: : Unlike using spices for cooking, in medicinal usage they are taken in large
: : quantities in order to treat particular maladies.
: : (A) Unlike using spices for cooking, in medicinal usage they are taken
: : (B) Unlike spices that are used in cooking, in using spices for medicine,
: : they are taken
: : (C) Unlike cooking with spices, taking spices for medicinal use is done
: : (D) In cooking, small quantities of spices are used, whereas in medicinal
: : usage spices are taken
: : (E) In cooking, the usage of spices is in small quantities, whereas in
: : medicinal usage they are taken
: : 請問正解D 我可以說whereas表對比&轉折 所以他的句型是
: : 1.In cooking V.S in medicinal
: : 2.small quantities V.S in large quantities
: : 這樣說可以嗎?!!! @@
: whereas在官方版的解釋上是說副詞子句和主要子句盡量對稱(但不強迫), 不過這邊給你
: 一個技巧, 通常考對比時whereas常當正確答案!
: : 然後C錯是因為taking spices的taking是動名詞
: : 但是cooking是動詞變來的(尤其他相對選項得知)
: : 所以比較詞性不對等
: : 這題我真的覺得考試我C就會很果決選下去阿@@
: : 謝
: 這題我會先刪掉c, 因為c的cooking with spices是表動作的動名詞(working verb),
: 不過like/unlike後面接的名詞通常是一般性名詞, 表動作動名詞重點是在表動作, 在
: gmat的標準英文中, 想表動作請用子句, 也就是whereas/although/but S+V+O
補充一下:
這也就是我們通常看到because of + N + Ving會是GMAT較不偏好用法的原因
比如此OG題:
In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza
were closed to visitors for cleaning and repair [due to moisture exhaled bv
tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the
stone was crystallizing] and fungus was growing on the walls.
(D) because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity
within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize
(E) because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them
to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing
D選項的Ving有修飾tourists的歧義,
就算是because of moisture raising ...
也會形成句意斷裂:because of moisture (which raised...)
「因為濕氣」(升高濕度變成了只修飾moisture的成份)
而完整的意思應該是「因為潮濕升高濕氣(這個動作)」
OG解釋:
the entire construction is awkward, wordy, and ambiguous
正確選項E則用because子句,完整的「潮濕升高溼氣」的動作表原因。
同理Prep題目供你參考:
[Because of wireless service costs plummeting in the last year, and as mobile
phones are increasingly common, many people] now using their mobile phones to
make calls across a wide region at night and on weekends, when numerous
wireless companies provide unlimited airtime for a relatively small monthly
fee.
錯誤選項
A. Because of wireless service costs plummeting in the last year, and as
mobile phones are increasingly common, many people
正解
D. With the cost of wireless service plummeting in the last year and mobile
phones becoming increasingly common, many people are
不過有一個地方要小心:
(GWD-19-Q18)
[On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by
imprisonment that a United States citizen hold] gold in the form of bullion or
coins, immigrants found that on arrival in the United States they had to
surrender all of the gold they had brought with them.
正確選項D:
Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by imprisonment
for a United States citizen to hold
這裡的law本身是核心原因,因此making就算修飾law也不會有句意斷裂的問題。
供您參考。
