OG(11TH)#134

Recently implemented " shift-work equations" based on studies of the human sleep cycle have reduced sickness, sleeping on the job, fatigue among shif workers, and have raised production efficiently in various industries.

(A) fatigue among shif workers, and have raised
(B) fatigue among shif workers, and raised
(C) and fatigue among shif workers while raising
(D) lowered fatigue among shif workers, and raised
(E) and fatigue among shift workers was lowered while raising

我對於ETS針對(D)的選項解釋有些疑問.ETS說在(D)的選項中" inserting"lowered" before fastigue liiogically suggests that fatigue actually increased".怎麼說fatigue 會increased??

你要把OG完整的解釋一起看就會比較清楚了
它說"the verb reduced applies to all three parallel elements, so inserting lowered before fatigue illogically suggest that fatigue actually increased"

簡單的說就是負負得正的概念
reduced(-) lowered(-) fatigue → increased(+) fatigue

有錯請指教

1.請樓主將題目底線也標上,這樣也方便大家看囉:)
2.同意eiswein的解釋

3.另想請問在(A)(B)選項的解釋中說
" The omission of and before fatique creates an unclear sentence"
是會造成什麼樣的unclear啊?

前面是三個都是動名詞, 逗點之後加and raised形成第二個動詞不是也挺好的嗎?
不知道這邊指得是什麼樣的sentence unclear,還請指教 ^^

sickness....N,sleeping ...動名詞當名詞用,fatigue...N

have reduced N1,N2,N3,N4...., and Ni（固定形式，最後一個就是要加and,讓讀者知道在此結束)
A,B中，fatique前沒有and，就是讓讀者expect還有第四個名詞，在B中，若是將raised production efficiently 看成第四個名詞，句意完全錯錯錯
