OG-10th #77

[jungtsu]

77.Though the term “graphic design” may suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging work, from package designs and company logotypes to signs, book jackets, computer graphics, and film titles.

(A) suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging

(B) suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, it has come to signify a wide range of

(C) suggest corporate brochure and annual report layout, it has signified widely ranging
(D) have suggested corporate brochure and annual report layout, it has signified a wide range of
(E) have suggested laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging


兩個問題請問
1. D跟E中的have suggested, OG說indicate recently completed rather than onging action是什麼意思。 但是後面也說 it has come to signify 阿

2. 為什麼corporate brochure and annual report layout不可以?後面不是用 "package designs and company logotypes to signs, book jackets, computer graphics, and film titles" 。我想說都是名詞應該要對稱才對。

先謝謝大家的好心解答啦!!

1. 原本的句意是說， the term “graphic design” may suggest laying out ,這個lay out 的動作，還在進行中。但是如果改成have suggested ...，句意會變成lay out 或是corporate最近已經完成了。句意不同。

2. lay out原題中作動詞使用，如果變成layout就變成名詞，動詞改名詞盡量不選，會改變句意。
原本是說the term“graphic design” may suggest laying out ..., 表示視覺設計指的是lay out一些小冊或是月報。
如果變名詞the term“graphic design” may suggest ....layout , 表示視覺設計指的是小冊或是月報的layout。

個人淺見。請笑納。
