[問題]大全987-700

700. The boom in agricultural exports in the early 1970’s emptied United States grain bins and many were led to thinking that overproduction was now a problem of the past.


(A) many were led to thinking that overproduction was now
(B) many had been led to thinking of overproduction as if it were
(C) the thought this led to was that overproduction had become
(D) led many to the thought of overproduction as if it were
(E) led many to think that overproduction had become

ans:(E)

had + Ved 形態不是應該說明在過去先發生的事嗎?

按照句意來翻譯:

"1970年的出口增加清空了美國的穀倉,也使很多人認為產量過剩變成過去的問題了"

用had become

總覺得有點怪怪的

(應該是出口增加先,變成後)

(而且become過去式不是became嗎?! )

請大家幫忙一下

had Ved
是站在過去某一時點說明更早之前的事情。

題目裡的pronlems在emptied與led這些動作發生的那一時點才消失。
在這之前problems一直存在著。

(A) was now 時態衝突
(B) 1. many 的想法應該是 boom 之後的事, 用過去完成式不對; 2. 假設語氣 if it were 改變句意
(C) this = ?
(D) 假設語氣 if it were 改變句意
=> (E) : overproduction 是在 boom 之前存在的事,所以用過去完成式.

補充：
and 前方沒有逗號，表示為 S V1 and V2句型 → (A)(B)(C)刪

(rules from OG 135)

這樣這題簡單很多

good point!

1. and 前面沒有豆號表示在同一句,主詞相同. 有豆號表示另起一句,主詞各異.

2. and 前面沒有豆號平衡兩個.
(A) The boom ... emptied (主動) ... and many were led (被動) ... => 不對稱

提醒了我: 一個句子不能有兩個主詞.
