白勇的語法第3章第16題

[lovekyoko]

Out of American's fascination with all things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge,the overstuffed sofa,and the claw-footed bathtub.

(A)things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing

(B)things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing

(C)things that are antiques has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring

(D) antique things have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing

(E) antique things has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring


我知道這題是倒裝,所以 (A)和(D)動詞都要改成has

(C)和(E)哪裡還有錯

答案是b

[dibert8]

(C) 1. 不簡潔 things that are antiques = antiques, 2. that = a market 所以主動詞不一致
(E) 1. antique things =/= things antique 改變句意, 2. that= a market 所以主動詞不一致

這題也出現在 OG10-Q85.

原句是A market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub has grown out of American's fascination while all things are antique.
將while all things are antique改成with all things (being) antique再進行倒裝以解決頭重腳輕的現象
於是句子就變成了Out of American's fasination with all things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.
至於不能選(C)及(E)是因為其都犯了同一種錯誤即後面的bring並不能知道主詞是誰, 因為前面有bygone styles及fixtures, 但如其為is bringing即沒有爭議,其修飾的主詞一定是前面的a market.
因此選擇(B)
