B. which includes reducing employment, using new technology to be more efficient in pumping oil

D. which include the reduction of employment, their using new technology to pump oil more efficient
E. including a reduction of employment, their use of new technology to be more efficient at pumping oil
答案是C
雖然選對，但總覺得怪怪的！
為何include後面可以直接接Ving呢？ include後面不是都接
受詞嗎？ 對的很不心安...

我私人解法給你做參考
1.最後一句有...., and Ving
所以一定要挑...Ving, Ving, and Ving的句型，所以DE出局

2.ABC很明顯看到動詞include的單複數不一 → 回頭找主詞
主詞應該是指approaches, 而非a variety，所以AB出局

小建議是，現在AT比較少要求完整文法結構喔，
也就是文法是可以妥協的，何況還有美式用法，
找出自己的一套判斷準則，做題會快又準!

我覺得這題還滿有指標性的意義的
因為SC幾乎所有有include的句子
答案都會是including...
which include 通常都不夠簡潔 不會對
我做這題的時候本來看到(E)including就要秒殺的
後來瞄了一下後面才發現要平衡
所以結論是including...不是百分之百對,
有時候which include也會對
平衡的重要性大於簡潔!!

BTW 目前為止 好像有due to 跟 instead of 還維持100%錯的地位

一點心得跟大家分享!

真的嗎 那實在太好了
due to跟instead of的題目印象中都是劃線一堆的
真有這規則如有神助ㄚ!
