(C) 任何醫學測試對於某一個情況,當情況存在時常沒能偵測到,而且當情況不存在時顯示偵測到此情況.

[dibert8]

考代名詞 it vs one

(A) one = (another) condition 所以句意不合理(應該指的是同一個 condition 句子才有意義)
(B) (D) detect 及物動詞必須有受詞
(C) it = condition (就是那個 condition)
(E) 不簡潔

有點不太了解OG10對於D的解釋如下:
its presence in D leaves the it in when it is not without a logical referent:it must refer to condition, not presence.

請大大解答, 感激!!

(D) 造成非劃線部份的 it 指代不清.

[pimi]

D中的its presence的it不是指condition
when it is not中的it不是也是指condition
請問大大為何會有指代不清的情形呢？？
還是不太了解OG裡的祥解說的會誤指代presence....
通常不是代名詞不要亂移轉, 前面的it代啥, 後面的it通常都是代一致的東西
為何還會有指代不清的現象呢？？

請大大指導！！

在 it 前面的名詞都可能被指代.
雖然 its presence 的 its 指 condition, 但不保證後面的 it 也指一樣的東西.
"一句裡代名詞必需指一樣的東西"是事後的結果,不是事前的規則.
