[iamger0730]

18: According to a recent survey of municipal services, the city’s streets could be cleaner, its fire code be better enforced, and its crime rate reduced if the current administration improved its management practices.

A: be better enforced, and its crime rate reduced
B: better enforced, and its crime rate reduced
C: could be better enforced, and it could reduce its crime rate
D: better enforced, and its crime rate could reduce
E: could be better enforced, and its crime rate reduce

答案不確定 CD上最多人答 a or b

我覺得是b

A的話 不知道那個be是什麼變來的??

大大們覺得呢??

[freshmanduke]

這題我是選B 我覺得crime rate跟fire code都省略could be
anyway 不是很確定
請繼續討論

[個人意見]
考平衡法 所以街道是could be cleaner的話, fire code必定是could be better enforced, 然後crime rate必定是could be reduced
不過 連續講三次酷必 酷必 酷必不是很煩嗎?
所以... 酷必只要講一次
定睛一看 覺得(B)閃閃發光...

選B... GMAT輕鬆又愉快:P

同意b
其他選項不平行,或者亂換主被動

CD討論的答案是C
理由：
For Example, [a sentence from Bai Yong's Grammar book]

As the etched lines on computer memory chips have become thinner and the chips' circuits (have become)more complex, the power of both the chips and the electronic devices they drive has vastly increased.

(this part in the bracket can be omitted)


請注意上面例句中省略的是相同成分have become而18提中如果省略了could be的話,could be cleaner,be是系動詞,第二個第三個變成被動語態標誌詞be,功能不同,不能省略.而且and後面its crime rate reduced 該句中沒有被reduced這個動作的發出者,缺少by某個agent,這種被動語態在gmat中是多次證明錯誤的.

c正確是因為變成三個句子並列the city’s streets could be cleaner, its fire code could be better enforced, and it could reduce its crime rate

我們要選擇的是實質上的並列,而不是形式上的並列,從邏輯意思出發

耶?我文法不好~~

想請教bonus大大，

如果答案是CD上選擇的C的話，

畫線中的it應如何解釋呢?

後方if是副詞子句不可以用it指代，那it這個虛主詞應該指什麼呢?

非常感謝~~~~~

代名詞不能代替所有格,所以 (C) 應該不會對的.

A: be better enforced, and its crime rate reduced
B: better enforced, and its crime rate reduced
C: could be better enforced, and it could reduce its crime rate
D: better enforced, and its crime rate could reduce
E: could be better enforced, and its crime rate reduce

the city’s streets could be cleaner, its fire code (could be) better enforced, and its crime rate (could be) reduced 省略用法, 阿陸宰說的, 請猜考

大陸仔, 選B

[Kal-El]

支持C

[Kal-El]

支持C
it和its是代the current administration

[Huang Hsin-Yi]

支持C
it和its是代the current administration
不太可能巴,很少看過代名詞往後代的(虛主詞除外)


而且句意讀下來, 都是在講 city's

[aqboy[origen]]

應該是B

C的it不能指代句子,句意是"the current administration improved its management practices"這個動作降低犯罪率
