[問題]考古題p79.#19

[Behemoth]

19. Although it claims to delve into political issues, television can be superficial such as when each of the three major networks broadcast exactly the same statement from a political candidate.
(A) superficial such as when each of the three major networks
(B) superficial, as can sometimes occur if all of the three major networks
(C) superficial if the three major networks all
(D) superficial whenever each of the three major networks
(E) superficial, as when the three major networks each

想請問為何答案是e
e中有each了為什麼後面是用broadcast呢?

選c怎麼樣...我覺得沒有哪裡錯啊...

[misa]

我問過美加助教
答案是

這題題目打錯了

[Behemoth]

這個答案 夠爽快

一解我心頭之恨

[polarbear]

有點晚了,
先講為什麼E.答案的each對.
光看這答案我不覺得有錯.
其他部分再討論.

each在這是當emphasizing pronoun.
查Collins字典可得如下例句:
We each have different needs and interests.
所以each是強調前面的three....,
因此後面用複數動詞broadcast是沒錯的.
each不是真正的主詞.不影響後面動詞單複數的判斷.

先這樣啦. :)

In Manhattan GMAT Sentence Correction Strategy Guide:

"Note, however, that when each or every follows a subject, it has no bearing
on the verb form.

They each are great tennis players.

Here, the plural subject they requires the plural verb form are."

Also in American Heritage :

"Usage Note:
The traditional rule holds that the subject of a sentence beginning with each
is grammatically singular, and the verb and following pronouns must be
singular accordingly: Each of the apartments has (not have) its (not their)
own private entrance (not entrances).
When each follows a plural subject, however, the verb and subsequent pronouns
remain in the plural: The apartments each have their own private entrances
(not has its own private entrance)."

(A)&(D): agreement
(B): fragment(no subject)如果主詞是前句的television，則改變原句意且句意怪異
(C): 改變句意，原題為when，選項if成為條件子句

以上僅提供參考，歡迎指教。

as是連接詞

請參考cd的解釋



susanyaki

in fact, according to OG, "as" is used to compare something, and when so, it is used as conj. so "as when" can be explained as "就和當---------的時候一樣"

隨便上網查

Words that name people , places or things are called nouns. In Klamath nouns often end in, as when they are the object in a sentence.

Kayser's grammatical terminology, though basically that of traditional European grammar, is occasionally quaint, as when he uses subjective clause to mean a relative clause construction where the head noun is subject of the main clause

In poetry, especially dramatic poetry, the form in -s was a licence borrowed from colloquial speech, and helpful for metre or euphony, as when Shakespeare has in The Merchant of Venice

These old usages have been revived in recent times in poetry and historical fiction; but, unless skilfully and sparingly employed, they are apt to offend, as when Stevenson overdoes the ethic dative in The Black Arrow.

大家參考一下

選 C 改變句意 IF.... 跟原題題意不符

[peche]

我問過美加助教
答案是

這題題目打錯了

正確的題目應該是如何呢?
害我想了很久~原來是打錯.....

[yentzu]

題目沒錯，應該是莫大看錯了。

Although it claims to delve into political issues, television can be superficial such as when each of the three major networks broadcast exactly the same statement from a political candidate.
(C) superficial if the three major networks all
(E) superficial, as when the three major networks each

一般正常的寫法是這樣的：
television can be superficial when the three major networks all broadcast exactly the same statement from a political candidate.
when 在這裡不能改用if，因為指的是「實例」而非「假設情況」；E的寫法是加進了不算錯誤文語法的干擾贅語，as在這裡是as is the case 的省略句法。
