D. since erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, putting gold literally within reach for
E. since erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach of



各位大大,本題我選到最後剩下DE,抉擇點在putting與put選不出來,

我當時的想法是,若since當preposition想,D似乎也可以,

但是根據句意,since要當因果關係解,所以只能當conjunction看,這樣正確嗎?

還是D,就算since當作preposition,也是錯?

請各位大大解惑!!!

since表原因時後面要接句子，
D不是句子。

答案是E，不過我覺得B比較好B的結構Prospecting for gold during the California gold rush was a relatively easy task, because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, and putting gold literally within reach of anybody with a pan or shovel.
跟下面這概念很像
210. Scientists have recently discovered what could be the largest and oldest living organism on Earth, a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.
(A) Extending

210中spawned.....and extending平衡,
可是這一題, and putting 找不到平衡呀

[carollai]

A: because of +名詞類，但是put是動詞
B: because of後總算沒有動詞了，可是and無法平衡thrust和putting
C: 同上，and無法平衡had thrust和putting
D: since是連接詞，後面要有動詞
E: since後有主詞動詞，and也平衡三個名詞，正確

完全同意 因為我也是這樣選答案的

[dibert8]

如果比照 OG10-Q210 的精神選 (B), 平衡 thrust 和 putting, 在 and 前面應該不加逗點吧!(i.e.平衡兩個) 而且這個選項裡的 thrust 是動詞,不是過去分詞喔!

記得有人提過"陳菱芷分析法":以介係詞片語來承擔這後面一大串字顯然太重了,所以眼尖的人開始找有連接詞的子句. (D) (E) 選一個,再以莫老的比較長短加持,選 (E). 回頭檢查 (D) 沒有動詞 => 確定答案.
