[問題]請教OG-17

Official Guide
P.700
No.17
正確答案是(A)
但我想問為什麼the residents of Maine可以等於part of a widespread culture ?
were是be動詞,所以應該人=人,非人=非人
residents是人,但culture不是呀?

No.19
我知道(C)和(D)錯
因為主詞應該要接rice
but他下面的解釋說這樣的話變成有"rice protein contains wheat" 的意思
是為什麼呢?

念在粉紅妹子第一次貼題，版僕小弟我就不計較啦

[Behemoth]

我想是因為有 "of "

這麼一來就避免掉be動詞平衡的句意怪異~

hi,魚:
你的意思是說,
其實residents是等於最後面的people是嗎?
可是還是覺得有點怪怪的,
因為"of 什麼"不是通常都是形容of前的那個nouns嗎?
這樣的話,感覺還是等於culture阿?(Algonquian-speaking people的culture)
還是,因為有part,所以不用完全相等?
可以再說清楚一滴滴嗎?Thanks..... :-$

從句意看來residents 對應 part of Algonquian-speaking people，
在中間插入的of a widespread culture 是修飾 Algonquian-speaking people，
直接翻譯下去的確會覺得不太順口，但是語敘排列不一定都要照順序翻吧，ets最
喜歡搞一些插入句混淆我門。

小弟第一次發言，有錯誤請盡量指證，謝謝 :) !!

[cocaine]

句意是說part of a widespread culture of Algonquian-speaking people
就是說那各xx人是一各大文化下的部分人種....

針對這題，我有另一個疑問是：
og裡有一段這樣的解釋：
All of the choices but A are wordy, and in C, D, and E the word people redundantly describes the residents rather than the larger group to which the residents belonged.

意思是說，CDE選項：
the residents of Maine at that time were people 是 redundant
但是A選項，不是也是同CDE的意思：residents were ..... people 嗎？

不太了解有什麼區別？

[cheyen]

我覺得這題讓我想到A of B of C到底該如何解釋
(part of a widespread culture of Algonquian-speaking people.) 中心詞到底該是哪個?

the residents of Maine （at that time） were part of a widespread culture of (Algonquian-speaking people.)
是culture?

the residents of Maine （at that time） were part of （a widespread culture of Algonquian-speaking） people.
是people?

----------------------------
後來想說還是用最明顯的排除方式來刪選項
B,D用了過去完成式改變了句子原意,首先排除(at that time可以看出)
E的話people which看到就知道錯
再來就剩A和C
但是到這邊我就選到C嚕

[nexxt0722]

首先Algonquian-speaking people得people是當人種來解釋 不是人們--->講亞爾岡京語的人 eg: Chinese-speaking people Japeness-speaking people
因此OG才會說 CDE選項的people是多餘的

此外 B選項用完成式所表達的意思與原句意不合 應用簡單式表達一個事實即可

本句句意是說 一個5000年前的北美遺址指出在那時期的緬因州居民是廣大的Algonquian-speaking people文化的一部份

個人淺見 有錯請指教

應是part已可代表Algonquian-speaking people的一部份，所以再提一次people就是redundant。

Collins Cobulid English Dictionary:
part: N-UNCOUNT: If something or someone is part of a group or organization, they belong to it or are included in it.

[dibert8]

不知這樣解好嗎? (i.e. 風險性)
完成式 had 沒有時間參考點 (i.e. 過去的過去), 刪除 (B) (D) (E), 剩下 (A) (C) 比較長短 => (A)
