[問題]OG-Q225

[bugubugu]

Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states that still has a sizable wolf population. and
where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep.
(A) that still has a sizable wolf population, and where
(B) that still has a sizable wolf population, where
(C) that still has a sizable population of wolves, and where
(D) where the population of wolves is still sizable;
(E) where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where


Answer to Question 225
In choices A and C, the construction that still has ..., and where modifies Minnesota with clauses that are not
grammatically parallel. In choice B, the omission of and illogically makes the where ... clause modify wolf
population rather than Minnesota--that is, choice B says in effect that the wolf population is where the wolf
remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep. Choice D is grammatically constructed, but it lacks a conjunction
that establishes a logical relation between the clauses; since Minnesota as a grammatical subject is separated
from the clause following the semicolon, the statement there need not even pertain to Minnesota. In E, the best
choice, the parallel construction of where ... and where ... allows both clauses to modify Minnesota.


這裡指的

Choice D is grammatically constructed, but it lacks a conjunction
that establishes a logical relation between the clauses; since Minnesota as a grammatical subject is separated
from the clause following the semicolon, the statement there need not even pertain to Minnesota.

是啥意思呢?

(A) that still has a sizable wolf population, and where
(B) that still has a sizable wolf population, where
(C) that still has a sizable population of wolves, and where
(D) where the population of wolves is still sizable;

Choice D is grammatically constructed, but it lacks a conjunction
that establishes a logical relation between the clauses; since Minnesota as a grammatical subject is separated
from the clause following the semicolon, the statement there need not even pertain to Minnesota.

是啥意思呢?

喔 它是說 ,因為D 的句尾搞了一個分號 ,使得後面的句子this predator remains ~跟前面的句子"可以是"沒有關係的兩個獨立句子,但是,寫句子的人的本意不是醬

我想請問一下

Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states that still has

只管grammer, 是不是has 應該要用have 才對?

thanks

A of B that +V 這個V有時跟A走，有時跟B走, 視句意而定，這裡應該是跟A走
所以用has

我想問C選項

Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states that still has a sizable wolf population. and
where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep.
(A) that still has a sizable wolf population, and where
(B) that still has a sizable wolf population, where
(C) that still has a sizable population of wolves, and where
(D) where the population of wolves is still sizable;
(E) where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where

In choices A and C, the construction that still has ..., and where modifies Minnesota with clauses that are not
grammatically parallel.

想厘清的是 1.comma是否影響平行 如果改成where…,and where…是對的嗎？2.引CD上的話，"OG中的平行不是單純的看where和where一樣就一定平行的，主要還是看所做的成分，如果都是狀語從句，用的詞不一樣也可以平行的。"還是這題因為句意邏輯正確，就單純這麼看？

萬分感謝∼∼∼

AC 如果都改成where還有一個問題

have 跟 there is的差別

have是擁有(屬於某人之類)
there is 是存在
所已這裡 there is > have

像OG158 就不能說 美國have 5%的世界人口

感謝回復

我也有考慮到 there is 和 have的差異
但純就OG上的解釋

In choices A and C, the construction that still has ..., and where modifies Minnesota with clauses that are not
grammatically parallel. In choice B, the omission of and illogically makes the where ... clause modify wolf
population rather than Minnesota--that is, choice B says in effect that the wolf population is where the wolf
remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep. Choice D is grammatically constructed, but it lacks a conjunction
that establishes a logical relation between the clauses; since Minnesota as a grammatical subject is separated
from the clause following the semicolon, the statement there need not even pertain to Minnesota. In E, the best
choice, the parallel construction of where ... and where ... allows both clauses to modify Minnesota.

完全就是用平衡來做刪除錯誤選項的唯一指標
所以非常希望搞懂這題的"平衡"點在哪
照老莫講的 硬梆梆比嗎？

best555tw大哥你漏看了幾個字。
關於OG158：
AD的意思是：美國人民『擁有』5%的世界人口。
這是句意上的錯誤，正確來說應該是美國人民『組成』5%的世界人口。

無生物名詞使用have是可以的（見OGcr25, cr46, cr67, sc19...etc）。

我想問的問題是
題目原文裡沒畫線的部分最後有this predator, 這是單數
那選wolves不是就不一致了嗎
請問大家怎麼看this predator 的這個點
謝謝

[michelle610]

this predator ---- 這一類的掠奪者 所以不會和wolves不一致

[世界和平]

請教各位:

1.a sizable wolf population
2.a sizable population of wolves

上述說法有無差別?若無，是否1較簡潔?謝謝！

sizable應該放在要修飾的名詞前面,
這裡修飾的是population而不是wolves

[TonyHsieh]

印象中好像沒有wolf population的說法
好像只有population of XXXXXX 的說法
這樣子對嗎?

[田君豪]

印象中好像沒有wolf population的說法

這樣子對嗎?

的確有這樣的說法哦，
我舉collins cobuild這本字典的例句好了
(1) ...75.6 percent of the male population over sixteen.
(2) ...the elephant populations of Tanzania ans Kenya.

所以看到 XXX population的用法不一定就錯，
PS.
附帶一提， 這跟老莫說的 ：(N+of+無生物)、(生命體's+N)這個規則有點相似。
但這並不代表看到(N+of+生命體)、(無生物's+N) 這兩種用法就一定錯
例外還不少，若答案選項同時出現這兩種用法，建議千萬不要先用
(N+of+無生物)、(生命體's+N)這條規則來篩選答案
等可用的方法都用了，還無法確定答案時(就是老莫的名言：無路可走時^^")
再用這條規則找答案吧

詳解裡就有wolf population
此提是句意題
用技巧解不出來
補習班技巧不一定對
