答案是B　

我想請問，若拿掉 but it also 中的 it

A的句意還正確嗎 ? 屑屑 (FF)

[illuna]

我覺得答案A把it拿掉仍然有錯....

因為and後面gave也要變成原形的give才對吧...

而且it為什麼可以拿掉?

[illuna]

在這邊我提供一題not only......but also來試試看能不能給大家做個參考....

<Ex.7>Not only is the boy honest but also a brave boy.

(A)The boy is not only honest but also a brave boy.
(B)The boy is not only honest but also brave.
(C)Not only is the boy honest but also brave.
(D)Not only is the boy honest but also he is brave.
(E)Not only is the boy honest, but he is also brave.

你們的答案是什麼? ;)

[Behemoth]

我選b---修辭高峰會

但是c也挺誘人的

[illuna]

恩...B對....不過原題否定副詞放句首的倒裝強調在B中完全不見喔...

要不要再試試其他答案?? ;)

[agk99]

A不好有很多理由
不看句意前提下

gave的過去式沒有改為現在式
但進一步看句意，

為客戶便宜房子的是誰?一定是那些farmland....但我覺得
the systematic clearing of forests in the United States 好像也講得通
是農地提供便宜房子，還是systematic alearing of forests 提供
都說的過去
A的it是指代not only的主詞，這裡還是別省，因為not only倒裝，怕修飾出問題就不要省

D嗎 ? .........肚子餓到不行 回來再請教

[agk99]

魚的這一題，加上illuna的那一題
得到一個結論
it 清楚就省，不清楚還是別省
但何謂清楚，由ETS決定

轉貼 OG #248 及 ETS 解釋給大家參考參考

248. By offering lower prices and a menu of personal communications options, such as caller identification and voice mail, the new telecommunications company has not only captured customers from other phone companies but also forced them to offer competitive prices.

(A) has not only captured customers from other phone companies but also forced them

(B) has not only captured customers from other phone companies, but it also forced them

(C) has not only captured customers from other phone companies but also forced these companies

(D) not only has captured customers from other phone companies but also these companies have been forced

(E) not only captured customers from other phone companies, but it also has forced them

C, the best choice, correctly uses the parallel construction has not only x’d but also y’d and avoids ambiguity of reference by using these companies rather than them. In A, B, and E, the referent of the pronoun them is ambiguous; because them appears to be parallel to customers, the illogical suggestion is that the new telecommunications company has forced customers to offer competitive prices. Choices B and E may also be faulted for the improper insertion of it to refer redundantly to the new company. Finally, E is not parallel in verb tense with captured... has forced. Choice D does not maintain parallelism, unnecessarily shifting from active (company not only has captured) to passive (but also these companies have been forced).

OG #125
The winds that howl across the Great Plains not only blow away valuable topsoil, thereby reducing the potential crop yield of a tract of land, and also damage or destroy young plants.

(A) and also damage or destroy
(B) as well as damaging or destroying
(C) but they also cause damage or destroy
(D) but also damage or destroy
(E) but also causing damage or destroying

Choice D, the best answer, correctly employs the correlative construction not only x but also y, where x and y are grammatically parallel and where both x and y (damage and destroy) apply to young plants. Choices A, (not only... and also), B (not only... as well as), and C (not only... but they also) violate the not only... but also paradigm. Moreover, B contains terms (blow... damaging) that are not parallel. In C and E, damage is used not as a verb with young plants as its direct object but as a noun receiving the action of cause; consequently, these choices fail to state explicitly that the damage is done to young plants. E also violates parallelism (not only blow... but also causing).

拍屑 ,我還有一個問題 (FF)
A / B 的句意其實不大相同 ∼

我想請問ｂ的句意正確嗎？　屑屑

【摘錄自旋老師的修辭高峰會 P.156~157】

這題答案是E最好....原因有二...

平衡....not only+子句, but also+子句....

第二個原因...請看原題also副詞修飾brave這個形容詞....答案E中also副詞位置不變....同樣修飾形容詞brave....因此是最好的答案.....

大家參考參考.... ;)

就像我之前回你的一樣樣
A要真有錯，恐怕就是那個gave吧
因為就句意來說，雖然AB不同，但猛一看好像都可以接受耶

[illuna]

可是答案A中的but it also的it不能省略吧?

因為子句要平衡子句阿.....
