1998 saw several new ventures promoting online distance learning both at the college and graduate level, but also faculty members in large numbers began questioning whether the computer screen was an adequate replacement for the classroom.
(A) 1998 saw several new ventures promoting online distance learning both at the college and graduate level, but also faculty members in large numbers began
(B) In 1998 several new ventures were promoting online distance learning for both college and for graduate level courses, but it was also a year for a large number of faculty members who began
(C) With several new ventures promoting online distance learning both for college and graduate courses in 1998, it was also a year when a large number of faculty members had begun
(D) Although 1998 saw several new ventures promoting online distance learning for college and graduate level courses, it was also a year when a large number of faculty members began
(E) Several new ventures were promoting online distance learning in 1998, at both the college level as well as the graduate, but it was also a year for faculty members to begin in large numbers

答案是D

(如果我有key錯字,麻煩以圖檔為準~~)

原題過去時間,用過去式
先山B,C,E
B.進行式
C.過去完成式
E.過去完成式,as well as

我的疑問是:
A.是錯在but also亂用嗎?
另外,D是正確答案,請問1998年可以當做主詞唷?還可以saw?....不太瞭解~~

這題用both就可以找出正確答案
both ... and ... 要對稱
(A)both at the college and graduate level (X)=> both at XXX and AT XXX
(B)for both college and for graduate level courses (X) => and 後面多了 for
(C)both for college and graduate courses (X) => 這回 and 後面又少了一個for
(E)both ... as well as ... (X)

時間當主詞是比較少見的，但文法上並沒有錯誤。

甘溫~
似乎用 both 刪真的有比較快...

[dibert8]

考 both... and... 和時態
(A) but also => 缺 not only
(B) in 1998 應該用過去式
(C) it = 1998, 應該用過去式
(E) in 1998 應該用過去式; both... and... (and =/= as well as)

[dibert8]

如果單以 both... and... 平衡來選答案,風險非常高,因為 and 是連接詞,連接相等的結構,相同的字原則上都可以省略.
e.g.
(A) both at the college and (at) graduate level --- 省略 at
(B) for both college and for graduate level courses --- both college (兩所大學, college應該用複數) 和 graduate level courses 兩個名詞平衡, "for +N and for +N" 的結構在這裡並沒有文法上的問題.
(C) both for college and (for) graduate courses --- 省略 for; 這裡 both 有雙向修飾的錯誤

這一題的句意真的是令人很煩惱：

後來查字典 (Longman)

see (verb) (time/place) [transitive]
：if a time or place has seen a particular event or situation, it happened or existed in that time or place:
這種情況下就是time /place當主詞
字典的例句：
This year has seen a big increase in road accidents.
The city has seen plenty of violence over the years.

查了一下相關新聞例句
1998 saw a transition from a strong EL NINI to a moderate La Nina.


所以分析一下這一句變成 Although 1998 saw several new ventures promoting online distance learning for both college- and graduate-level courses, it was also a year when a large number of faculty members began questioning whether the computer screen was an adequate replacement for the classroom.
Although S+V+O , S+V+O
it 代替1998

(D:)
Although 1998 saw several new ventures promoting online distance learning for college and graduate level courses,
it was also a year when a large number of faculty members began questioning whether the computer screen was an adequate replacement for the classroom.
這個it不是代1998吧
這個主句應該是分裂句喔！

[dibert8]

it = 1998 沒錯啊!

如果單以 both... and... 平衡來選答案,風險非常高,因為 and 是連接詞,連接相等的結構,相同的字原則上都可以省略.
e.g.

(B) for both college and for graduate level courses --- both college (兩所大學, college應該用複數) 和 graduate level courses 兩個名詞平衡, "for +N and for +N" 的結構在這裡並沒有文法上的問題.

請問for both college and for graduate level courses
=>for graduate level和前面的college不會不平衡嗎？

[dibert8]

college (名詞)和 for graduate level (介係詞片語)的確不平衡也!

[ivawu]

college (名詞)和 for graduate level (介係詞片語)的確不平衡也!

dibert大大您太高段了，
我只能看得出both + 名詞和and後面的for...不平衡
