(A) From 1982 to 1987 sales of new small boats increased between five and ten percent annually.
(B) Five to ten percent is the annual increase in sales of new small boats in the years 1982 to 1987.

(E) Occurring from 1982 to 1987 was an annual increase of five and ten percent in the sales of new small boats.



正確答案沒問題
不過有兩個小疑點
請幫忙

1.in the years 1982 to 1987這樣的用法可以嗎?

2.關於E選項;og說"E is especially clumsy and confused."
是因為ving當主詞(occurring)然後再接bev was出問題吧???
可以幫我解釋一下
感謝

記得把答案標出來喔.這樣看帖的人會更清楚喔


而且記得要標劃線喔

(E)比較是ets不喜歡的寫法,所以OG才要說這樣寫不好
而且,(E)的答案改變了原意

主詞是occuring,改變原意


請多多指教

不好意思
我忘了

203. From 1982 to 1987 sales of new small boats increased between five and ten percent annually.
(A) From 1982 to 1987 sales of new small boats increased between five and ten percent annually.
(B) Five to ten percent is the annual increase in sales of new small boats in the years 1982 to 1987.
(C) Sales of new small boats have increased annually five and ten percent in the years 1982 to 1987.
(D) Annually an increase of five to ten percent has occurred between 1982 and 1987 in the sales of new small boats.
(E) Occurring from 1982 to 1987 was an annual increase of five and ten percent in the sales of new small boats




A, the best choice, conveys the relevant information clearly and directly. Because the focus of interest is the sales of new small boats, that should be the subject of the sentence. Since the period of time covered began and ended in the past, the verb should be in the simple past tense (increased). The adverb annually fits most logically after the amount of the increases. B, C, D, and E all distort the focus and disrupt the sensible order of ideas. In addition, B, C, and D use incorrect verb tenses to refer to the simple past (is, have increased, and has occurred). In C, the expression five and ten percent makes no sense without the word between. Finally, E is especially clumsy and confused.



E,改變原意唷...文法上呢??
有問題嗎??
我覺得怪怪的....Ving是可以當開頭
是不是後頭接了was an increase出錯?

再來,in the years 1982 to 1987這種用法可以嗎?


請指教

in the years 1982 to 1987 這我不清楚,再看看其他人說明嚕..

E.occurring .....was.... 看句意是說有事情發生在1982 to 1987就是銷售增加....
感覺說的粉怪,是誰去occur??

[dibert8]

(E) 還有一個問題: 從1982到1987銷售年增率只有兩個數值喔, 5% 跟 10%, 似乎不太合理.

[pimi]

A選項的動詞(increased)改成過去完成式 會不會比較好ㄚ??
畢竟已經設定了From 1982 to 1987
想請問
如果有另ㄧ個選項, 把increased改成過去完成式, 其他部分則與A選項都一樣
那是不是要選這個改成過去完成式的選項???

[dibert8]

From 1982 to 1987 定義了句子的時間在 1982 到 1987 年之間,應該用過去式啊!
