15. The Iroquois were primarily planters, but supplementing their cultivation of maize, squash, and beans with fishing and hunting.
(A) but supplementing
(B) and had supplemented
(C) and even though they supplemented
(D) although they supplemented
(E) but with supplementing
答案D
怪了, 找老半天沒找到這題, 希望沒有重複post文
可以看出題目前後有對比的意思,所以用and 當連接詞,這樣就可以刪去(B)和(C)
(E) but with的用法很奇怪, 所以也可以快速刪去
關於A和D我掙扎了許久, OG的解釋讓我很頭疼:^)
(A)OG原文居然說分詞通常是要解釋主句, 延伸主句的意思, 但這裡需要對比(所以說分詞不好?!)
接下來又說 but引導的句子讓前後兩句內容一樣重要, 只有although引導的從屬子句才能表現出補充說明主句的感覺....
想請教大家but 和although的不同
