Q24:
For the last five years the Dutch economy has grown faster than Britain, France, or Germany, with the unemployment rate having remained well below that of the other three countries.
A. Britain, France, or Germany, with the unemployment rate having remained
B. have those of Britain, France, or Germany, and the unemployment rate remaining
C. have Britain, France, and Germany, and the unemployment rate has remained
D. the economy of Britain, France, and Germany, with the unemployment rate that has remained
E. the economies of Britain, France, and Germany, and the unemployment rate has remained
答案是E...我選D,疑問如下
(1)我覺得D的句意比E好...D中的with=in spite of(表示儘管在失業率維持的情況下)...E變成講兩件事!!另外,請問一下with這樣的用法妥當嗎?
(2)economy為什麼要變成複數(常用單數)...若是要用複數的話,為什麼題目中後面that of the other three countries中的that(替代unemployment rate)不用寫成those...
