OG 72

[zuckzhc]

72. The number of undergraduate degrees in engineering awarded by colleges and universities in the United State increased by more than twice from 1978 to 1985.

A. increased by more than twice
B. increased more than two times
C. more than doubled
D. was more than doubled
E. had more than doubled

答案是C

我不懂的是這個句子的動詞到底是哪一個? doubled 嗎?
還是這裡有什麼省略句的句型用法

請各位高手指點

[Behemoth]

是doubled

沒有省略句用法
只是more than為adv修飾動詞

請問大家

a 如果寫成increased twice from 1978 to 1985 這樣就沒錯了吧
因為歐雞寫======>
choice a is faulty because an adverb such as "twice" cannot function as an object of the preposition "by".
B, distorts the sentence's meaning, stating that the number of engineering degrees conferred increased on more than two distinct occasions.

increased twice 可是這樣一來不就等於了increased two times 會不會讓人誤解為 the number of engineering degrees conferred increased on two occasions.

increase twice
redundancy

詞性上沒有問題
twice副詞可以修飾increased動詞

increased twice 可是這樣一來不就等於了increased two times 會不會讓人誤解為 the number of engineering degrees conferred increased on two occasions.

嗯的確twice可以當兩倍也可以當兩次
所以還是正確答案的double最精確簡潔

請問有關D 選項 OG所說
D's passive verb was...doubled suggests without warrant that some unnamed agent increased the number of engineering degrees. 有關這樣的解釋，是否有人可以在加以說明一下，不是很清楚這樣解釋的原因，謝謝！

[huihui300]

是這樣嗎...請大家指教 :)

動詞以被動出現會使人誤解 是有一個外力使得拿到學位的人加倍
有改變句意的味道~

[chrissie]

印象中double應該沒有被動~~
有錯請指正

請問A為什麼錯
OG詳解說 Choice A is faulty because an adverb such as twice cannot function as an object of the preposition by. 好像是說twice不能當by的受詞, 是為什麼呢???

[pimi]

我來自問自答好了
我想因為twice是副詞
by是介係詞
介係詞後不能只擺副詞
所以A是錯的
