請教版友，在D選項中，

1. flattening是修飾" Billie Holiday used her voice in the same way that other musicians use their instruments "還是修飾" in that she ranged freely over the beat"

2. 平行對稱是used...and recomposed...還是in that she ranged....and recomposed...

謝謝

in that是表因果關係的連接詞(意同because, insumuch as) , 所以in that 後面是另外一個句子.
該句後面的分詞片語就近修飾前句 , 所這flatting是修飾" in that she ranged freely over the beat"

C, E把表因果關係的連接詞給省了 , 不僅在平衡結構出了問題 , 句意上也不如D清楚

由deliberately imitating....可以知道主句subject是Billie Holiday而不是Billie Holiday's approach 因為只有人會模仿、aproach不會模仿=> 刪去A, B

C ) like+N, 這裡接了完整子句, 應改成as; 沒有表達因果關係, 這裡ranging不知是誰做的動作或是產生的狀態, 是Billie Holiday還是instrument?

E) 句意改變, 把她的聲音拿來和樂器比; 沒有表達因果關係, 這裡ranging不知是誰做的動作或是產生的狀態

(C), (E)兩個選項也犯了 "贅詞" 大忌.

OG10-Q264 莫伯伯可能沒看清楚 by the use of 和 by using 的區別,前者的確語意重複,後者的用法 (by+Ving "藉由...方法")在 GMAT 還蠻常見.

264. Scientists believe that unlike the males of most species of moth, the male whistling moths of Nambung, Australia, call female moths to them by the use of acoustical signals, but not olfactory ones, and they attract their mates during the day, rather than at night.
(A) by the use of acoustical signals, but not olfactory ones, and they attract
(B) by the use of acoustical signals instead of using olfactory ones, and attracting
(C) by using acoustical signals, not using olfactory ones, and by attracting
(D) using acoustical signals, rather than olfactory ones, and attract
(E) using acoustical signals, but not olfactory ones, and attracting

OG 解釋: In A, the phrase by the use of is unnecessarily wordy, and the insertion of they is not required. ... Choice C distorts the meaning of the original with its suggestion that male whistling moths call female moths to them both by using acoustical signals and by attracting their mates during the day. The insertion of using in not using olfactory ones is unnecessary.
