(A) overtime that has the potential of causing
(B) overtime that has the potential to cause
(C) overtime that potentially can cause
(D) overtime, a practice that has the potential for causing
(E) overtime, a practice that can, potentially, cause

ans:(E)

想問一下,這題ABC的錯誤

是在於企圖用that來指代NASA工作人員超時工作整件事嗎?

請大家賜教

沒錯，而且the potential of(to) V比potential V還囉唆。

puthing明天考試加油，
有問題的話今晚盡量post上來，大家一起討論討論囉~

can 與potentially 可以連用嗎?在OG159題裡

159. While depressed property values can hurt some large investors, they are potentially devastating for home-owners. whose equity--in many cases representing a life's savings--can plunge or even disappear.
(A)they are potentially devastating for homeowners, whose
(B)they can potentially devastate homeowners in i. that their
(C)for homeowners they are potentially devastating, because their
(D)for homeowners, it is potentially devastating in that their
(E)it can potentially devastate homeowners,whose

OG上的解釋:Furthermore, can potentially is redundant in B and E.

怎麼會這樣???

另外我support answer (D)裡的potential for 的用法由大全391

391.In large doses, analgesics that work in the brain as antagonists to certain chemicals have caused psychological disturbances in patients, which may limit their potential to relieve severe pain.
(A) which may limit their potential to relieve
(B) which may limit their potential for relieving
(C) which may limit such analgesics’ potential to relieve
(D) an effect that may limit their potential to relieve
(E) an effect that may limit the potential of such analgesics for relieving

[yutsang_0611]

在OG159 can potential 同時修飾devastate，所以是redundancy
，大全300的can,potentially,cause裡，potentially是修飾can，所以沒有redundancy的問題

[Jen-Cheng]

想了好久，我還是不懂？= =
can, potentially, cause
it can potentially devastate
這兩句的potentially的用法到底是怎樣啊？？

overtime 不會 cause errors => 刪除 (A) (B) (C)
剩下 (D) (E), 比較長短 => (E)

OG10-Q159:

(A)they are potentially devastating for homeowners, whose
(B)they can potentially devastate homeowners in that their
(C)for homeowners they are potentially devastating, because their
(D)for homeowners, it is potentially devastating in that their
(E)it can potentially devastate homeowners,whose


Answer: (A)
property values 複數 => (D) (E) 不選 (it <> values);
(B) devastating (adj.) 改成 devastate (v.) => 改變句意
(C) they = home owners? => 改變句意

大全391
391. In large doses, analgesics that work in the brain as antagonists to certain chemicals have caused psychological disturbances in patients, which may limit their potential to relieve severe pain.
(A) which may limit their potential to relieve
(B) which may limit their potential for relieving
(C) which may limit such analgesics’ potential to relieve
(D) an effect that may limit their potential to relieve
(E) an effect that may limit the potential of such analgesics for relieving


Answer : (E)
(A) (B) (D) 裡 their 不明確指誰 (patients?), 不選;
=> (C) (E) 選一個
1. to +V 有具體動作; (C) to relieve 的主詞是 which = 前面那句話(analgesics that ... in patients); 句子不會做動作.
2. (E) potential 不會做動作 => 用 for + Ving; for relieving 修飾 potential.
