In a blow to those who still harbored the illusion that E-mail exchanges are private, a watchdog group recently uncovered a trick for enabling an interloper to rig an E-mail message so that this person will be privy to any comments that a recipient had added as the message is forwarded to others or sent back and forth.

A: who still harbored the illusion that E-mail exchanges are private, a watchdog group recently uncovered a trick for enabling an interloper to rig an E-mail message so that this person will be privy to any comments that a recipient had added

B: who had still been harboring the illusion that E-mail exchanges are private, a watchdog group recently uncovered a trick for enabling an interloper to rig an E-mail message so that this person was privy to any comments that a recipient might have added

C: who still were harboring the illusion that E-mail exchanges are private, a watchdog group recently uncovered a trick enabling an interloper to rig an E-mail message so that this person is privy to any comments that a recipient would add

D: still harboring the illusion that E-mail exchanges are private, a watchdog group recently uncovered a trick that enable an interloper to rig an E-mail message so that this person will be privy to any comments that a recipient might add

E: still harboring the illusion that E-mail exchanges had been private, a watchdog group recently uncovered a trick that will enable an interloper to rig an E-mail message so that this person was privy to any comments that a recipient might add

Ans: D 我選A
想請問這題關鍵是否在 後面的is
套入D的答案後 句子後半段
an interloper to rig an E-mail message so that this person will be privy to any comments that a recipient might add as the message is forward to others or sent back and forth.
藍色句子是否有假設意味?? 假設當message is fw..., an interloper will....

另外，我想問一開頭的
In a blow to those who still harbored
因為a watchdog group recently uncovered .....
用的是過去式，我覺得前面應該也是過去式用still harbored
原句翻成:對那些過去一直懷著錯覺的人,最近一個團體揭露...
這樣對嗎???
D的still harboring是省略了who的原因嗎??
還是原句並非是過去式??

麻煩各位NN幫忙解答
謝謝

我講一下我的理解,
(A)(D)兩選項判斷的話, 看到.... uncovered a trick that enable ...
(D)就勝了喔, that清楚帶出解釋什麼樣trick的子句
你標示出的藍字, 你說might有無假設意味, 我不是很暸你的意思
我對might在此的意思解為"You use might to indicate that something could happen or be true in particular circumstances."



still 通常接現在式 或 現在完成式 (過去式反而說不通)
recently 通常接過去式,和現在完成式 ,因為它的意思是"it happened only a short time ago.例如something happened recently..."

↑我不知道文法是不是有這樣說, 但我看到的文章大概都是這樣。


另, 在ETS的解釋中 " those who" is a wordy intrusion ,出現幾乎都錯


縱合以上來說理解成這樣比較好=>
in a blow to 一直錯以為EMAIL是PRIVATE的人....
一個團體前不久才剛揭露....


有誤還請不吝指正:)

考時態

In a blow to those who still harbored the illusion that E-mail exchanges are private, a watchdog group recently uncovered a trick for enabling an interloper to rig an E-mail message so that this person will be privy to any comments that a recipient had added as the message is forwarded to others or sent back and forth.
A: who still harbored the illusion that E-mail exchanges are private, a watchdog group recently uncovered a trick for enabling an interloper to rig an E-mail message so that this person will be privy to any comments that a recipient had added
B: who had still been harboring the illusion that E-mail exchanges are private, a watchdog group recently uncovered a trick for enabling an interloper to rig an E-mail message so that this person was privy to any comments that a recipient might have added
C: who still were harboring the illusion that E-mail exchanges are private, a watchdog group recently uncovered a trick enabling an interloper to rig an E-mail message so that this person is privy to any comments that a recipient would add
D: still harboring the illusion that E-mail exchanges are private, a watchdog group recently uncovered a trick that enable an interloper to rig an E-mail message so that this person will be privy to any comments that a recipient might add
E: still harboring the illusion that E-mail exchanges had been private, a watchdog group recently uncovered a trick that will enable an interloper to rig an E-mail message so that this person was privy to any comments that a recipient might add

(A) (B) (C) (E) 逗點之前的時態不一致,使得句意不合理;
(A) (C) 逗點之後事情生的時間順序不合理;
(B) 出現假設語氣,使得句意更不合理.

當你了解過去完成式只能與過去式連用時, 你便很快能將錯誤的答案刪去
