[討論] 大全 504

[hwatai]

504. Marketing researchers have found that, because many residents of the Southeast do not share the same ethnic heritage as Northeasterners, the two varieties of commercially prepared coleslaw most popular in New York City and Boston are virtually ignored by consumers in Richmond and Raleigh.

(A) because many residents of the Southeast do not share the same ethnic heritage as
(B) because many residents of the Southeast do not share the same ethnic heritage with
(C) because many residents of the Southeast do not have the same ethnic heritage as
(D) due to many residents of the Southeast not sharing the same ethnic heritage with
(E) whereas many residents of the Southeast do not share the same ethnic heritage as







the answer is (C)

這題CD上還討論到B上去了(執著於片語share with?)

從主要子句說明南北城市的差異上來推斷，從屬子句要引導出差異的原因，因此句意上應該不是南方居民不與北方居民share東西，而是南方居民不share(have)東西，但是北方居民會share，行為不同，所以有了南北差異；所以不考慮with的答案

(A)(C)一個share / 一個 have，實在很難下手選五個答案中只是一個是have的(C)...

the same... as
我以為 as 後面跟的名詞要和 the same 後面的名詞比較. 這樣 as 後面應該是 that (= heritage) 而不是 Northeasterners.
但是 share... with Sb 是合理的用法.
