[iamdior]

39. For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment, a method to protect warriors against enemy arrows and spears.

A. a method to protect
B. as a method protecting
C. protecting
D. as a protection of
E. to protect

1.請問為何E需要+used
如果E要+used的話,那為何C不用+呢?

2.A是錯在要用a method of 媽? 為何不可以用to表目的呢?

D. as a protection of
E. to protect

1.請問為何E需要+used
改成分詞修飾

如果E要+used的話,那為何C不用+呢?
C 選項 本身已經是分詞了

2.A是錯在要用a method of 媽? 是的,他的單複數錯誤


為何不可以用to表目的呢? 因為名詞本身無法 "行動"

A 主要是錯在 前面是在說 shields 盾牌 一種裝備 後面卻用 a method 方法來跟他同位補充說明. 裝備 =/= 方法

個人看法.

同意你的看法

Choice C is best because the participle protecting begins a phrase that explains what the shields did. Choices A and B awkwardly use the singular word method to refer to items of military equipment rather than to the use of such items. Also, a method of protecting would be more idiomatic than a method to protect in A or a method protecting in B. In B and D, as is incorrect; also, a protection in D has no noun for which it can logically substitute. Choice E is incomplete; used to protect would have been acceptable.

這是OG的解釋，他的解釋並沒有指出a method不能同位的問題，而是指a method of protecting 比 a method to protect更好

而事實上，前半段animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment, 主要是指animal-hide shields with wooden frames . 用a method做同位我認為是可以接受的

其實解釋有講唷:

Choices A and B awkwardly use the singular word method to refer to items of military equipment rather than to the use of such items.

它其實是說用method去指items是怪異的....
所以用a method應該不行....

sorry 沒有留心到主謂一致，真拍謝
那用methods應該可以吧，改成複數就沒問題了

但還是protecting爽快些

可是我覺得他的解釋意思是說....
若method前面的先行詞是the use of such items...
才能用method....
但因這句的先行詞是items of equipment...
所以很奇怪....
所以顯然它是在說明equipment不等於method沒錯...

[Behemoth]

的確如不古所言

method不等於items
頂多只能等於use of the items

39. For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment, a method to protect warriors against enemy arrows and spears.

A. a method to protect
B. as a method protecting
C. protecting
D. as a protection of
E. to protect

1.請問為何E需要+used

2.A是錯在要用a method of 媽? 為何不可以用to表目的呢?

(C) items of military equipment, which protected warriors...
刪除which , protected 改成protecting
=items of military equipment, protecting
(E)+ used
=items of military equipment, which were used to protect warriors
=items of military equipment, used to protect warriors

大家可以同意這樣的觀點嘛?

[revival]

想請問這邊的protecting, 是 and protect 的省略,還是 which protect 的省略呢？ 謝謝大家 ^^

由原句意來看是which protected 的省略,
用來補充說明 items of military equipment.

[hwatai]

protecting分詞結構用來說明前面一整個子句(to modify the preceding clause)
正如OG的解釋：protecting begins a phrase that explains what the shields did
所以 a method會錯，是因為其給了一個同位語(item)的語意
這一題乍看不出是在考句意...

[brokenenglish]

這題同OG(11th)-24

The underlined part of the sentence begins a phrase describing items of military equipment. It is awkward and inaccurate to describe items as a method. Replacing the underlined phrase with the participle protecting creates a modifying phrase that clearly explains the purpose of the items of military equipment.

[lucyyeh]

關於(D) as a protection of
用protection 當然沒有 protecting 簡潔
不過 OG 11說
Begining the phrase with as is incorrect; using the noun form protection creastes wordinese.

請問
Begining the phrase with as
哪裡有錯?

因為阿，我在OG11的下兩題, 26
又看到同結構的句子

Galileo was convinced that natural phenomena, as manifiestations of the laws of physics, would appear the same to someone on the desk of a ship moving smoothly and uniformly through the water as to a person standing on land.

大家覺得OG11的意思是?
