不是6-28

別忘了更改標題唷 :)

[agk99]

感謝micht
我幫忙改為13-28，這題確認是D

[tobosu]

D. sloth, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, have been dated at 34 million years old, making the sloth the earliest known mammal on
..想請問依下，位啥要用 "have been "哩...

[ian]

就句意來說
我認為完成式可用，可不用
但這不算是錯誤的選項
其他選項就真的不對了

收到..謝謝 ian..

D. sloth, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, have been dated at 34 million years old, making the sloth the earliest known mammal on

V1 and V2 句中有兩動詞，發生時間有先後，先發生用完成式，後發生用現在式。

句中先被查驗年齡，後才確認是最早，因此前面用現在完成，後面用現在式。
原句
sloth have been dated at 34 million years old and make the sloth the earliest known mammal on...

and make 用分詞代替連接詞 前面加"," 所以就變成答案D

請問各位

1st question
a)fossils of the arm of a sloth found in Puerto Rico
d)fossils of the arm of a sloth, found in Puerto Rico
sloth後面加上豆號會使found修飾不一樣的主詞嗎

2nd question
這題用making the sloth the earliest known mammal .....
跟歐機49題doubling的用意是一樣的嗎？　用來修飾前一句　　
那何時才會用到此用法呢　
雖然黃豐揚老師說這是動詞連續性　可是我還是不了解什麼時後該用分詞來修飾全句(previous clause) 快瘋了
OG-49
The cameras of the Voyager II spacecraft detected six small, previously unseen moons circling Uranus, doubling to twelve the number of satellites now known to orbit.
OG解釋 B uses the correct participial form, doubling, to modify the preceding clause.

d)fossils of the arm of a sloth, found in Puerto Rico

=>"found in Puerto Rico in 1991"前後有豆號，表示其為「非限定用法」(根據莫老師的說法，就是加不加你都知道他在說的是什麼)
反之，如果不加"，" 即為「限定用法」(一定要加，否則不曉得在說啥)
ex：(取自從美加修辭專題講義)
(1)The man who lives next door is 8 feet tall.(不可以用非限定用法，否則不知道是在講哪個男人啊)
(2)His father, who lives next door, is 8 feet tall.(不用知道到底是不是住在隔壁，也知道他爸是誰)
所以加不加逗號，視題意清晰與否，個人認為這裡用非限定即可

=>這裡的making 跟OG#49的doubling用法截然不同吧
OG#49的doubling 是關代省略的分辭片語用來形容 6 small moons
而這裡的making是兩句子 主辭相同 用分辭代替連接詞的用法.

有錯請指教~

謝謝你對第一個問題的回答
可是我對第二題還有疑問

關代省略的分辭片語用來形容 6 small moons=======>
你是說 which (主詞6 small moons)double 改 doubling to.....
可是歐機不是說 in A,c and e, which seems to refer to a vague concept involving the detection of moons, but there is no specific noun, such as detection, to which it can refer.

a)which doubles to twelve the number of satellites now known as orbiting
c)which doubles to twelve the number of satellite now known in orbit around
e)which doubles to twelve the number of satellite now know that orbit
所以如果是關代省略的分辭片語 那不就錯了嗎 ==> doubling =which double(s)
還有歐機說用which是用來修飾detection (不是6 small moons)
可以麻煩你在跟我解釋一下
謝謝!

ＯＧ裡的解釋前兩行不是說了，which是代先前(previously)的名詞，答案A,C,E在which前面的名詞是什麼? 是Uranus! 所以會產生Uranus doubles to 12的錯誤!
答案B的doubling的確是which double 的省略，但是就是因為不能有which啊(否則會有ACE的錯誤產生)
至於which代什麼? 我剛剛仔細看了一下，文章裡沒有detection這個名詞，但是我想題目的意思應該是有(6個)偵測器在拍6個small moons，6個偵測器double到12。

D. sloth, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, have been dated at 34 million years old, making the sloth the earliest known mammal on

原句

and make 用分詞代替連接詞 前面加"," 所以就變成答案D

完全贊成你的看法，大家要注意，當逐漸刪掉答案後有出現時態：尤其第一個V.為過去式、第二個動詞為現在完成式者，就要開使比較邏輯句意囉!!!! 蠻常見的考法!!!!!

請問兩個問題
1. 在此題最後的介詞, 用on 和of 會造成什麼差異呢
2.就是此處making的用法,因為主詞相同所以省略and連接詞的用法嗎？但是我在看CD時,他們的解釋是認為是年代使sloth成為最早的mammal而不是fossils本身,所以在這認為making是修飾前一句用的..不知道哪種說法才對呢？謝謝大家

我覺得making確實是分詞代替連接詞
句意上我覺得fossils比年帶來make會更好
事實上fossil本身也就含有古老年代的意味

作這題時我純粹用agreement先刪B、E
用代名詞刪A、C
最後才看tense和介系詞
畢竟這兩部份東方人比較難以掌握

[hcgh]

D有個很嚴重的錯誤
D. sloth, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, have been...
怎麼可以用非限定用法呢？
這樣變成了全世界的每個Fossils of the arm of a sloth都是found in Puerto Rico in 1991, 而且都是34 million years old

雖然A的it有指代不清的疑慮
fossils做為made的主詞沒有D來的好
D是前面整句話做為make的邏輯主詞

但是因為D非限定用法這個可怕的錯誤，讓我含淚選A
