answner :c

我了解og上(B)(D)(E)的意義
可是og 上說(A)is faulty because its construction illogically suggests that Europeans arrived in the New World on Columbus Day 1992 and that Project SETI was initiated five centuries thereafter.
我不懂og要表達的意義??
(A)Initiated five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World on Columbus Day 1992,
(C)Initiated on Columbus Day 1992, five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World,
都是修飾Project SETI :'( 不懂A錯哪裡??
麻煩大家 :-$

(A)Initiated five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World on Columbus Day 1992

A錯在時空錯置,
解釋上變成歐洲人到新大陸是在1992年

[agk99]

關鍵就在於C把時間副詞置於句首，以同位語方式清楚點明活動是在哥倫布發現新大陸五百年後舉行

a則是扭曲句意，變成1992年的哥倫布日再五百年之後

請教一下OG對E選項的解釋：
The phrase five centuries after could modify either Pledging or the search.
要怎麼看出來呢？好難翻譯啊

盯著題目看好久 NB都快被我的目光射穿了

請教一下OG對E選項的解釋：
The phrase five centuries after could modify either Pledging or the search.
要怎麼看出來呢？好難翻譯啊

讀法一: Pledging a 100 million investment (in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence) five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World, on Columbus Day 1992,the initiation of Project SETI took place.

讀法二:Pledging a 100 million investment [in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World], on Columbus Day 1992,the initiation of Project SETI took place.

這種修飾語誤置所造成的語意怪異
莫老大說是超難題的啦~
臨場不見得看得出來
他有提供一個小技巧:
如果答案裡面的修飾語(ex:副詞片語)有出現在不同位置
就有可能是在考修飾語誤置
提攻你參考一下

[kaijen]

請問一下
為什麼(B)不對
investment 不能讓initiated 修飾嗎?
要如何知道一定要讓project被initiated修飾?
謝謝

(B) 1. 改變句意,主詞從 Project SETI 換成 a 100 million investment 2. 莫伯伯說被動少選(不簡潔)

選項裡同時出現主動和被動描述時,被動幾乎都不是答案.但有一個例外,就是非劃線部份有 by+Sb 的時候要選被動.

[dibert8]

(B) 若從句意上仔細推敲,其實有 project 才會有投資預算,投資額不會無緣故被發起(考語病)

[hwatai]

(B)還有頭重腳輕的問題，不符合優美文章的結構;

動作的主詞清楚被表達時，少選被動
動作的主詞沒有被表達時，才選被動
