[問題]OG-131

[doways]

131.The Commerce Department announced that the economy grew during the second quarter at a 7.5 percent annual rate, while inflation eased when it might have been expected for it to rise.

(A) it might have been expected for it to rise
(B) it might have been expected to rise
(C) it might have been expected that it should rise
(D) its rise might have been expected
(E) there might have been an expectation it would rise

我選會選(B)，可是當我檢討時，我覺得D的答案好像也行，根據og的講解，他是說主詞被替換了，所以錯，可是我真的不知道為什麼錯。我對(D)的想法為，"物價波動的上升被預期"跟(B)的"物價波動被預期會上升"，兩個感覺實在很像，請大大指教。

我覺得呢...
inflation應該是要被人們期待上升的...
而不是inflation自己的上升....
可是...ㄟ...我是感覺做題的典型考生...
還是請教一下其他學院派的大大吧

我認為是redundant，因為it 代 inflation(本身就是一種rise)，說 its rise 就重覆了，還有expect是及物動詞，所以一定要有受詞。

說的好！！

可是，句子裡都有to rise難道就沒有redundant?

都已經說inflation 還要 to rise?

會不會及物動詞那邊是主因阿?

↑這是我想說的~
當初我也覺得是redundant~
但正確答案中也是it might have been expected to rise
所以我把用這念頭解題的想法踢掉了

不過兩顆草梅Pufa大大說的是一針見血的致命傷~
expect是及物動詞~須要有受詞~

呵呵，難得遇到跟我一樣打破砂鍋問到底的同學。
我後來也有想過這個問題，我認為名詞表狀態，動詞表動作。
可以說inflation會上升(因為它同時可能會下降)，但是說inflation是一種上升就是多餘(因為它本來就是一種 上升)，不過暫時沒想到什麼例子可支持我的說法，等想到再補充

査了一下字典~~

發現expect可以當及物也可以當不及物~~

怎麼辦??

那agk大大~~

B位啥比較好，純粹是語意的問題媽?

我實在不知道從何分辨~

[michelle610]

剛去查了一下字典 expect當不及物動詞的時候 通常都適用做口語的懷孕之意 且多以進行式的型態出現
又D選項its rise might have been expected ----->通膨的上升可能被預期 這句話雖然看起來也可以 不過卻有一種語意不完整的感覺 預期什麼 好像沒有說完
通常我們用"expect"的時候 都會說 預期上升阿 預期考好阿 預期.....怎麼樣阿 但是很少會說 我們預期 然後就結束了吧!!!

[dibert8]

expect 在選項中的確是及物動詞, 而且以被動型式出現;及物動詞才有被動. 我想ETS是不喜歡 it 被改成 its 吧. it 指 inflation, its 硬生生地把抽象名詞變成所有格, ETS 說這樣 awkard! 理由是when前面用的主詞 inflation 是以主格呈現,後面 it 也最好用主格.
"Choice D awkardly substitues its rise for the pronoun it as the subject of might have been expected; since it refers to inflation, the subject of the verb eased, it is preferrable as the subject of might have been expected, the verb form corresponding to eased."

[lovekyoko]

請問(D) its rise might have been expected

Its rise is not parallel to inflation 這裡跟平行有什麼關係阿?????
