----------------------------------

這題應該沒有po過吧...我有搜尋過哩...希望別出差錯壓

1)因為題中current-->選了留下A和B(has)

2)再來平衡關係
both for business journals and for general consumer magazines

3)我不太了解是，請問在B選項中
B. has significantly reduced advertising income both for business journals and for general consumer
magazines, especially those focusing

those是指?
為啥用fousing?以為是省略連接詞而形成，看看又不太對
此處用法小弟不太了解
煩請大家幫我解答一下^^

印象中這題也有問過.......

especially後面是插入語，
用來補充說明magazines的訊息。

those指magazines。

我只是說印象中啦 。

別叫我老大，我不當老大很久了

不會誤會those指business journals
是因為它focus在technology, business journals已經說他是business方面的, 所以不可能focus在technology

請問這樣的思路對嗎??

[dibert8]

1. those 是複數,指 journals and magazines
2. those 只能指代前面提過的名詞,不能往後指代

想請教一下，有current出現，
一定是用完成式嗎？
還是如果選項中有現在式也可以用？（表一個事實）

[lucyyeh]

樓上這個問題問的很經典，我查字典的結果，也沒有current常跟完成式連用的現象。
所以我覺的用current這個字砍掉C, D, E可能武斷了一點。仔細看的話，C, D, E除了時態以外其他地方也有錯阿！
我覺的真的會影響是否會用完成式的字，應該是downturn這個字，因為這個字有period的意涵
copy字典的一個例句給大家參考：
The world's economic downturn has triggered a rash of defaults in commercial paper and long-term debt, particularly by unrated issuers.

感謝樓上大大解惑，
的確economic downturn比較像是一段時間的事情
畢竟＂衰退＂應該不會是瞬間的動作
