I have enquiries about the following: (Sorry, I used ** to replace the underlined portion, as i don't know how to underline...)

3. A collection of 38 poems by Phillis Wheatley, a slave, was published in the 1770’s, the first book by a Black woman and *it was only the second published by an American woman*.

(A) it was only the second published by an American woman
(B) it was only the second that an American woman published
(C) the second one only published by an American woman
(D) the second one only that an American woman published
(E) only the second published by an American woman

Why E not A, is it because in word it in "A" is ambigious?

4. A common disability in test pilots is hearing impairment, *a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time*.

(A) a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
(B) a consequence from sitting for long periods of time too near to large jet engines
(C) a consequence which resulted from sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
(D) damaged from sitting too near to large jet engines for long periods of time
(E) damaged because they sat too close to large jet engines for long periods of time.

Why C not A? Is it because consequence = result from, redundancy problem?

5. A controversial figure throughout most of his public life, the Black leader Marcus Garvey advocated *that some Blacks return to Africa, the land that, to him, symbolized the possibility of freedom.*

(A) that some Blacks return to Africa, the land that, to him, symbolized the possibility of freedom
(B) that some Blacks return to the African land symbolizing the possibility of freedom to him
(C) that some Blacks return to Africa which was the land which symbolized the possibility of freedom to him
(D) some Black’s returning to Africa which was the land that to him symbolized the possibility of freedom
(E) some Black’s return to the land symbolizing the possibility of freedom to him, Africa

Answer is A, why B is wrong?

15. A new phenomena, which is visible at Managua’s major intersections, are waves of vendors and beggars, which include many children and mob cars at the stoplights.

(A) A new phenomena, which is visible at Managua’s major intersections, are waves of vendors and beggars, which include many children and
(B) Visible at Managua’s major intersections are waves of vendors and beggars with many children, new phenomena that
(C) A new phenomenon visible at Managua’s major intersections is waves of vendors and beggars, many of them children, who
(D) Phenomenally new waves of vendors, beggars, and many children are visible at Managua’s major intersections, which
(E) A wave of vendors and beggars, many of whom are children, are visible at Managua’s major intersections, where they are a new phenomenon and

Answer is C, but in C, ...many of them children... what kind of sentence structure is this? Why is not ...many of them are children...

Hi, thanks for your advise. I have checked 置頂帖, only question 5 has been raised. Please help first, thanks. I will not post more than 1 question next time.

3. A collection of 38 poems by Phillis Wheatley, a slave, was published in the 1770’s, the first book by a Black woman and *it was only the second published by an American woman*.

(A) it was only the second published by an American woman
(B) it was only the second that an American woman published
(C) the second one only published by an American woman
(D) the second one only that an American woman published
(E) only the second published by an American woman

Why E not A, is it because in word it in "A" is ambigious?

從the first book開始到最後都是修飾前面的collection(book)，所以A不應該有動詞的出現。

4. A common disability in test pilots is hearing impairment, *a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time*.

(A) a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
(B) a consequence from sitting for long periods of time too near to large jet engines
(C) a consequence which resulted from sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
(D) damaged from sitting too near to large jet engines for long periods of time
(E) damaged because they sat too close to large jet engines for long periods of time.

Why C not A? Is it because consequence = result from, redundancy problem?

這題答案是A。

15. *A new phenomena, which is visible at Managua’s major intersections, are waves of vendors and beggars, which include many children and *mob cars at the stoplights.

(A) A new phenomena, which is visible at Managua’s major intersections, are waves of vendors and beggars, which include many children and
(B) Visible at Managua’s major intersections are waves of vendors and beggars with many children, new phenomena that
(C) A new phenomenon visible at Managua’s major intersections is waves of vendors and beggars, many of them children, who
(D) Phenomenally new waves of vendors, beggars, and many children are visible at Managua’s major intersections, which
(E) A wave of vendors and beggars, many of whom are children, are visible at Managua’s major intersections, where they are a new phenomenon and

Answer is C, but in C, ...many of them children... what kind of sentence structure is this? Why is not ...many of them are children...

vendors and beggars, many of them children, who...

原句應是many of them (are) children，去掉動詞來描述攤販和乞丐中有很多都是小孩子。

對了，POST文章時，你會看到文章框格上面有許多小按鈕，滑鼠移到按鈕上就可以看到該按鈕的功能。

Thanks. But sorry, the answer of question 4 should be A, I mistyped it. So why A not C? Is it because consequence is already a result, so cannot say a consequence which results from...

Once again, thank you very much.

[Pufa]

C: a consequence which resulted from sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
你說的對，consequence已經有result from的意思在裡面了。

4. A common disability in test pilots is hearing impairment, *a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time*.

(A) a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
(B) a consequence from sitting for long periods of time too near to large jet engines
(C) a consequence which resulted from sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
(D) damaged from sitting too near to large jet engines for long periods of time
(E) damaged because they sat too close to large jet engines for long periods of time.

Why C not A? Is it because consequence = result from, redundancy problem?

為啥D不行呢？
which is 省略不好嗎？
還是會有修飾誤置的問題呢？

to vegoblack
我想 D E不選的原因
1.damaged = impairment 的意思 所以不選囉

2.ABC才是省略which is的用法 DE則是省略副詞子句的用法 若DE亦為省略形容詞
子句的用法 則會有莫老所說的 非限制形容詞子句改為分詞片語 會與分詞代替連
接詞這種用法相混淆 造成ambiguity

[nexxt0722]

狀況一:副詞子句-->省略,改成分詞構句-->",分詞..."-->O
狀況二:形容詞子句-->省略,改分詞片語-->"分詞"(沒有逗號)-->但題目中有逗號-->X
狀況三:非限定形容詞子句-->省略,改分詞片語-->",分詞"-->與狀況一的句型一模一樣,ambiguity-->X

得出DE選項應是由副詞子句省略而來的分詞構句,
並非由形容詞子句省略而來的分詞片語或同位語,
修飾對象與意義不同,有改變句意之虞,因此不選!

15. A new phenomena, which is visible at Managua’s major intersections, are waves of vendors and beggars, which include many children and mob cars at the stoplights.

(A) A new phenomena, which is visible at Managua’s major intersections, are waves of vendors and beggars, which include many children and
(B) Visible at Managua’s major intersections are waves of vendors and beggars with many children, new phenomena that
(C) A new phenomenon visible at Managua’s major intersections is waves of vendors and beggars, many of them children, who
(D) Phenomenally new waves of vendors, beggars, and many children are visible at Managua’s major intersections, which
(E) A wave of vendors and beggars, many of whom are children, are visible at Managua’s major intersections, where they are a new phenomenon and

Answer is C, but in C, ...many of them children... what kind of sentence structure is this? Why is not ...many of them are children...
[/u]

想問一下，
答案C
(C) A new phenomenon visible at Managua’s major intersections is waves of vendors and beggars, many of them children, who
首先，is waves會不會不平衡呢？
因為動詞is為單數，可是waves卻是複數。
另外， ,many of them children, who這樣很容易讓人以為who是代children~
請問各位大大怎樣破解這題呢？

感恩阿~

我也有一樣的疑惑
a phenomenon is waves of 不會不一致嗎??
究竟BE動詞的單複數是應該以前面的名詞為主還是以後面的名詞為主

請幫忙解惑 謝謝

[littlebi]

問題和前人同
請問可以幫忙解答嗎
感激不盡

又many of them children中的are為什麼可以省略呢

[pamelatsai]

頂一下~~
我的問題跟前兩樓都一樣~~is waves????
many of them children一定要省略are~不然會變成run-on sentence
這是獨立結構:名詞+名詞 修飾前面的vandors and beggars
因為many of them children是插入句
所以原句vendors and beggars who....就沒有修飾語誤置的問題~~
