GWD8-Q11

[林小馬]

There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.

A) There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.

B) There are no legal limits on the size of monkfish that can be caught, unlike cod or haddock, a circumstance that contributes to depleting them because they are being overfished.

C) There are legal limits on the size of cod and haddock that can be caught, but not for monkfish, which contributes to its depletion through overfishing.

D) Unlike cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, which contributes to its depletion by being overfished.

E) Unlike catching cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, contributing to their depletion because they are overfished.

在大家爭議的A和C中
我覺得A比較好耶

有前輩指教說是三種於都沒有legal limit
可是我想如果仔細看五個答案的話
應該題目還是指
monkfish沒有limit,其他兩種魚有,而monkfish快滅絕了

我是常常都用句意重點來判斷耶
在文法搞不定的時候
因為我覺得重點是"monkfish沒有limit所以快滅絕了"
另外兩種魚只是補充一下 做一個參考和比較
所以主要子句會是no legal limit for monkfish的句意
另外兩種魚的比較只是插入句

而以C來講的話它把主要子句放在"另外兩種魚有limit"上
我覺得根本句意重點就偏離掉了呢
另一個判斷了參考囉

我自己做到後來常常都用句意重點對不對
主要子句的內容到底是不是重點來判斷
在文法救不了我的時候試了好幾次都滿OK的呢
因為要考的是要最清楚最能抓住重點的表達法啊

當然其他的判斷點就是大家提到的
fish是單複同型所以不用覺得their不妥
C的contributes加S大有問題
這些囉

昨天晚上上了莫老師的最後一堂課，讓同學提問GWD的題目，
這題他昨天晚上給的答案是A。
(A)的their指的是monkfish(單複數同型)
原句應為There are no lega limits, as there are (legal limits) for cod and haddock....另外，老師說這裡的as是like的意思
(C)修飾與誤置...which 代替monkfish意思怪！

提供給大家參考參考！

我當時也在，他是說A
而且他還說可以參考考古題的p.18 #20 :~

[faireform]

看了上述大家意見,認為"句意"較重要,所以因為只有MONKFISH因為無立法限制獵捕尺寸,所以造成數量大減,故用代名詞"IT"為思考重點的話,答案馬上出來,即是C..小小淺見

[Penny Lee]

我支持C

which, Ving 在OG解釋中皆可代全句, 所以which 是說因為cod and haddock都有限制, 可是monkfish沒有限制所以才導致於monkfish數量大減

請指教

另外, 請問(A)中a circumstance所指代前面的整個事件, 這樣說的過去嗎?

[kliao302]

很疑惑? 為什麼我選E呢?
同樣是比較legal limits on catching two different kinds of fish, 應該是可以比較的。而且用contributing 是指代前面那一整句話一定沒有錯，不能用which 代前面一整件事，在OG中，which 只用在補述其前面最近的名詞，另外，they 也沒錯，因為fish 單複數同型，最後，because 比起其他選項的through, by 都來的清楚而且是OG中偏好用來解釋原因的字，所以我選E
不知道大家的想法是如何?

[antimissle]

恩...OG是說it不可只帶全句,
可是which or this可以喔...
其實遇過好幾題用which指代全句的例子

E的話應該脫節了吧
而且附上一個常規..
Unlike ~~, there are (is) 必錯
考古題 GWD OG 均試用

可以告訴我哪一題說可以用which指代全句的嗎？
謝謝！

[dibert8]

不僅 which 不可以指代全句,並且覺得 (C) 已經改變句意
原句意的重心是 There are no legal limits, ..., on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.
(C) 的重心是 There are legal limits on the size of cod and haddock that can be caught, ..., which contributes to its depletion through overfishing.
豆號中間是插句,去掉不影響主軸句意.如此,句意完全改掉(相反)了. which 也不知要指代誰才合乎邏輯!

[小花]

There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.

粗體字這一句是不是同位語?
和誰同位?

[阿琪]

There are no legal limits on the size of monkfish that can be caught==>是在表達一種circumstance

所以用 a circumstance就是整句的同位語

附帶一提，同位語在GMAT的考題中佔有很強悍的地位滴！

[小花]

恩 我同意 ETS 的確很愛同位語

[CherrieLi]

不好意思, 想請問一下, (A)選項中說明 their 是指3種魚類, 但這樣句意好像怪怪的...

a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing ==> 如果 cod and haddock 的 legal limition 的話,

怎麼這個 limitation 會造成 depletion 呢? 應該是沒有 limitation 才會造成 depletion 吧? 這樣解釋是否有什麼不恰當的地方呢?

還請指教...

我支持C選項, which 代整個沒有limitation 的的事件...

[阿琪]

針對CherrieLi大大提出的問題~說明一下~

從句意分析…認為： "應該是沒有 limitation 才會造成 depletion 吧?" 完全正確！！
但(c)好像不是這個句意(如果認同which代整句的話，反而句意是： limitation 會造成 depletion )

(a)的句意正好符合你所說的 "沒有 limitation 才會造成 depletion"

分享一下想法囉！
(c)的問題在於：
1. that can be caught 中的that 是指cod 、haddock 還是 cod and haddock呢？(模糊指代)
2. but not for monkfish 中的 but 主詞指的是什麼呢？有對稱到嗎？ ( 用no for 還是not for) (不對稱)
3. which 代前面整句 × (指代錯誤)
4. its 指的是哪一個呢？ cod、haddock、monkfish？如果認同which代整句 ，那應該是cod and haddock…但居然用"its" (cod and haddock非同一種)！！ (指代錯誤) 如果which非代整句，則是代monkfish，那句意完全不通 ( monkfish不會去depletion) (不符邏輯)
5. its 指的是一隻魚呢？還是一群魚呢？(數量指代)
6. 句意 (不符邏輯)

附註：
1. 魚這個單字很特別…單數、複數都可以通(可以指一隻魚->monkfish is ，也可以是一群魚->monkfish are )，就視作者想要表達什麼~
2. 從句子結構來看，(A)中的their 只有指"monkfish"，並非包含cod和haddock
