81. (28809-!-item-!-188;#058&004029)

Both the caribou and the reindeer belong to the species Rangifer tarandus, but after 7,000 years of domestication in Eurasia, reindeer have developed a tendency to circle in tight groups, while caribou tend to spread far and wide.

(A) belong to the species Rangifer tarandus, but after 7,000 years of domestication in Eurasia, reindeer have developed a tendency to circle in tight groups, while caribou tend
(B) belong to the same species, Rangifer tarandus, but about 7,000 years of domestication in Eurasia have developed reindeer's tendency to circle in tight groups, which is different from caribou that tend
(C) belong to the species Rangifer tarandus, but being domesticated in Eurasia for about 7,000 years has developed reindeer's tendency to circle in tight groups, and that is different from caribou tending
(D) are the same species, Rangifer tarandus, but about 7,000 years of domestication in Eurasia have developed reindeer's tendency to circle in tight groups, while the tendency is for caribou
(E) are the same species, Rangifer tarandus, but being domesticated in Eurasia for about 7,000 years has developed the reindeer's tendency to circle in tight groups, which differs from caribou tending
Ans: A
請問答案中,第二個reindeer為何是have developed而不是has developed
以及, 第二個caribou又為何是tend而不是tends
請指教~

哈~ 查字典得知reindeer 跟caribou都是單複數同型的名詞呢!

[Kal-El]

啊～真的是ㄟ
deer類都是單複同型
眼博士真該早點丟掉

謝囉～^_^

C跟E中的 but being...
是不是應該看成 省略了與前面的句子相同的主語 也就是Both the caribou and the reindeer
所以應該要用have而不是has ?

[dibert8]

(C) (E) 試圖以 being 當 but 子句的主詞,動詞單數,錯不在此.錯在:
1. 句子不簡潔
2. being 不會 develop

[cindychen47]

請教一下
如何看出是being做主詞
而不是省略主語呢?

[dibert8]

Both the caribou and the reindeer
(C) belong to the species Rangifer tarandus, but being {domesticated in Eurasia for about 7,000 years} has ...
如果看成省略主詞,動詞就不一致.

想請問D選項
but about 7,000 years of domestication in Eurasia have developed reindeer's tendency to circle in tight groups
詳解中提到 have應該改為has 因為主詞是7,000 years of domestication
想請問大大, 那在此的about是當時麼用途呢??
about可以放在主詞的前面阿?????

請問 about , 和 after 兩者在這邊是否有改變句意之嫌？？

[Kal-El]

語氣上是有些改變
但還不至於改變句意
