[問題]GMATPre Practice Test2

[Stanley168]

As it is with traditional pharmacies, on-line drugstores rely on prescriptions to be successful, since it is primarily prescriptions that attract the customers, who then also buy other health-related items.

a)As it is with traditional pharmacies, on-line drugstores rely on prescriptions to be successful

b)As with the case of traditional pharmacies, on-line drugstores rely on prescriptions to have success

c)As is the case with traditional pharmacies, prescriptions are the cornerstone of a successful on-line drugstore

d)As traditional pharmacies, so on-line drugstores rely on prescriptions to be successful

e)Like traditional pharmacies, the cornerstone of a successful on-line drugstore is prescriptions

答案是C
實在有點難懂!!

個人公式..
(a)不平衡,it is ~跟 drugstores rely ~,一個是be動詞,一個是一般動詞
ex.As I do ,John studies everyday.
it 指代不清
(b) as 介詞,介詞後不能直接接介詞(with)
(c)as 是連接詞,the case =prescriptions are the cornerstone
is 跟are 平衡....正確不已
(d)so 錯
(e)traditional pharmacies不可跟cornerstone 比...違反"硬梆梆"比較原則

<本題為PP test2 #39>
我想請問的是
如果用"As be the case with.... "時
後面被比較的部分是不是不用管脫節的問題?
還是說the case =prescriptions呢?
一開始我沒有選C是因為我覺得他拿traditional pharmacies跟prescriptions比,
以為他是考脫節,就秒殺了....
請高人指點!!

As is the case with traditional pharmacies = As the case is with traditional pharmacies (i.e. 倒裝)

在PP詳解中說D是As A do, so B do結構, 缺少do
請問As A do, so B do怎麼翻譯呢??

[dibert8]

d)As traditional pharmacies, so on-line drugstores rely on prescriptions to be successful

As 是連接詞,要看到完整的句子.

應該是 As 'A' +do, so 'B' +V. "如同 'A', 'B' 也..."
