想請教大家的是，在OG解釋裡面B跟D都有一句「Each state must be compared to all other states」
他這一句話到底是在講哪一個部份阿？

[dibert8]

each state 的句意不合理: while 需要對比, each state 意思是要跟 all other states 對比, 但後半句都不是這樣寫.
(B) their => the
(D) 後半句 each state => the state (each state 跟哪個 each state 對比?)

(D) 後半句 each state => the state (each state 跟哪個 each state 對比?)

(B)大概是懂了，因為state 要跟state比較，但是在（D）中，如果是改成while each state....., ....all other states，這樣就對了嗎？怎麼感覺句義就跟原本的不一樣了？

[dibert8]

'all-each' vs 'each-all others' 對比,語意邏輯都正確,但兩者句意不相容;前者 each 細節地說明 all (大小/粗細的對比), 後者 all others 相對於 each (對等的對比).
all-each 對比以先入為主地決定了句意. each 意喻要與 all other states 對比,基本上已經扭曲了句意.所以 each 在原來的句意之下行不通.

感謝呆博特...!!!

所以是說前面有each 後面一定要有all other states嗎？

[dibert8]

不知道有沒有出現過這樣的句子,這是 OG 的說法,參考參考囉!

我想問解釋中有一段 . The regulatory environment is singular and must logically be completed by of each state rather than of the states; the point of the main clause is that all states do not share the same predominating industries and regulatory environment.

The regulatory environment要搭配each state 這是說每個洲都有自己的 the regulatory environment 用定冠詞是指定each
這樣說對嗎????

那後面all states do not share the same predominating industries and regulatory environment又是啥意思

請指教

(C)all states face a similar industrial waste problem; their predominating industries and regulatory environment obviously determines

想請問一下C,OG解釋說Using a semicolon results in a sentence fragment,
(先不管句意和agreement問題)
分號前後看起來也是完整句,請問這樣文法有錯嗎?
