[問題] 天山 3-Q14

[FionaV]

A scrub jay can remember when it cashed a particular piece of food in a particular place,
researchers have discovered, and tend not to bother to recover a perishable treat if stored long enough to have rotted.

A. tend not to bother to recover a perishable treat if
B. they tend not to bother recovering a perishable treat
C. tending not to bother to recover a perishable treat it
D. tends not to bother recovering a perishable treat
E. tends not bothering to recover a perishable treat it

Ans: D

當我看到題目有", and"時我就開始confuse了 因為我不曉得該用什麼規則 但是我還是先刪去了C和E因為"it"
後來選A是覺得"if stored long enough to have rotted"感覺上還滿通順的 我對D還有另外一個問題就是為什麼是"tends"而不是"tend"呢?

[wanderlust]

and要和can remember 平衡
但是can tend句意上很奇怪
(個人認為有點redundant)
而主詞是A scrub jay 單數
所以DE選一個
tend to V.應該是慣用語吧
(E) tends not bothering to語感上就覺得不順

這個解法給大家參考囉
有錯請指正

[yellowten]

A scrub jay can remember when it cashed a particular piece of food in a particular place,
(researchers have discovered,) and tends not to bother recovering a perishable treat.


請問一下()裡面的researchers have discovered 是插入句不用管他嗎?就這樣插在那邊可以喔><
怎麼覺得會有流水句呢??

[envily]

插入句
還原放句首以that 連結

A scrub can remember .. and tends not to ll

[positivegal]

請問一下～
D.　tends not to bother recovering a perishable treat
E.　tends not bothering to recover a perishable treat if

有沒有加 if 有差別嗎? 我選E, 覺得D好像少了什麼...
另外 not bothering to 是不合文法的句型嗎? 謝謝!

[nomade]

from longman:

tend / tend /
1
tend to do something
if something tends to happen, it happens often and is likely to happen again
People tend to need less sleep as they get older. My car tends to overheat in the summer.

似乎慣用法就是tend to v

另外我覺得stored就直接形容treat了
加了if似乎改變了句意??(不是很確定)

[dibert8]

(A) 1. 主動詞不一致; 2. if 的主詞是 it (= scrub jay), 句意不合理

(D) = ... treat (that is)
(E) = ... treat (that) it ; it 指代不清

這個版本的題目比較對，讓大家參考。

A scrub jay can remember when it cached a particular piece of food in a particular place,
researchers have discovered, and tend not to bother to recover a perishable treat if stored long enough to have rotted.

A. tend not to bother to recover a perishable treat if
B. they tend not to bother recovering a perishable treat
C. tending not to bother to recover a perishable treat if
D. tends not to bother recovering a perishable treat
E. tends not bothering to recover a perishable treat if

不過答案一樣是(D)

[cindychen47]

(A) 1. 主動詞不一致; 2. if 的主詞是 it (= scrub jay), 句意不合理

(D) = ... treat (that is)
(E) = ... treat (that) it ; it 指代不清

請問
為什麼if的主詞不能是a perishable treat
if既然那麼靠近a perishable treat 為什麼不是修飾他呢?

[alexma]

我覺得if的主詞可以是a perishable treat
不過這樣的話if後面應該要有個be動詞表被動
但是這個be動詞應該是什麼時態呢??

if為連接詞 所以接完整句子，所以要有主詞動詞。
主詞只有在與前句主詞相同 也就是 "舊資訊重複"下可省略!..
所以if省略的主詞只能是 jay
能夠最近修飾的只有關代...
