大家都是一開始都是新手喔 給別人方便才能給自己方便
謝謝大家

himorgan大 , 想必對於關代的用法您應該沒有疑慮 . 不過我一併用色塊標示了一下各選項的可能的修飾對象.

關於您的問題

(B) which was colder and wetter than usual in some[highlight=#00ff6e] regions,[/highlight] slowing

slowing 修飾的對象有兩個方向([highlight=#00FF6E]Analysts[/highlight] 與[highlight=#00ff6e] regions,[/highlight]) , 在文法正確的情狀下 ,如何判別則須由句意決定


這麼說或許很抽象 ,您也許還會有另一個疑問 :

老子如何在短時間內分辨 何者為修飾對象^o) =>>這個問題很簡單 , 其實 ,ETS 的錯誤選項設計都十分的有邏輯性

如本題!

如果考生明白清楚dangling的用法 (D)(E)就不見了

如果考生清楚明白 which 的用法 (A) (C) 也不見了!

253. Analysts blamed May’s sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather, wihch was colder and wetter than usual in some regions, slowing sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture.

slowing是指weather, 這個也就是莫伯伯所說的分詞代替連接詞，
原句為wihch was colder and wetter than usual in some regions and slowed sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture.
把and除去，加上「，」

而且，我覺得指analyst或是regions在句意上都不太對哦！

分詞代替連接詞 => 感覺上太技巧了。

slowing 是which slowed~的分詞結構，但若以which slowed~存在會發生錯誤指代到region(最近的名詞)，因此以分詞結構修飾weather。

我想請問一下OG 裡的解釋，答案A中除了因為wihich 指稱錯誤外，OG裡說"was" is unnecessary, 有人可以跟我指點一下嗎 ? 萬分感激喔

(A) which 指到 regions => regions 不會 slowed salse => 刪除
(B) slowing 修飾 which was colder and wetter than (it was) usual in some regions, it 同主詞省略 = which = weather, be 動詞 was 省略, 因為時態都是過去式
(C) 跟 (A) 同錯 => 刪除
(D) being 不選 (多餘), 另如 OG 所說, 分詞的主詞不見得是 weather => 刪除
(E) and slowed => slowing 才平衡, 另如 OG 所說, 分詞的主詞不明確 => 刪除
