Q55. With a new park, stadium, and entertainment complex along the Delaware River, Trenton, New Jersey, is but one of a large number of communities that is looking to use its waterfront as a way for it to improve the quality of urban life and attract new businesses.

A. is looking to use its waterfront as a way for it to improve the quality of urban life and attract

B. is looking at using its waterfront to improve the quality of urban life and attract

C. are looking to use their waterfronts to improve the quality of urban life and attract

D. are looking to use its waterfront as a way of improving the quality of urban life and attracting

E. are looking at using their waterfronts as a way of improving the quality of urban life and attract

Ans:C

我以為主詞是one of a large number of communities, 那既然是"one" 應該是單數吧, 為什麼要選are呢??
請各位大大明示

這題可以參考GWD4-Q31

that子句是一個限定形容詞子句 , 應該往前修飾一個名詞 (communities), 不太可能拿來修飾一個不定代名詞(one)


--
A restrictive clause is one that limits, or restricts, the scope of the noun it is referring to.

請問答案(c)的attract為何前面不加to，這樣不會造成和前面的 to improve 不平衡嗎?

[dibert8]

提公因式: to {improve... and attract... }

[toycha]

先謝謝dibert8快速的回覆，但我想再請問一下為什麼GWD 23 Q31
http://www.formosamba.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=23283&

為什麼答案(A)的to不提供公因式呢?

是因為後面接的受詞不一樣嗎?

另外，如果介係詞(to)後面接的是動詞是不是就可以省略??

謝謝

[dibert8]

我是從省略會不會造成混淆的方向去看.
這一題如果 attract 前面有 to 會不知道要跟 to use, 還是跟 to improve 平衡; to {improve... and attract... } 解除了這個疑慮.

GWD23-31
According to some botanists, invasive plants are the second most serious threat, after habitat loss, to native species of plants and animals and to the maintenance of biologically diverse ecosystems.
to native species... and to the maintenance... 平衡,如果把後面的 to 省略(提供因式), the maintenance 就裸露在 plants and animals 之後,很可能混為要與 plants and animals 平衡(提供因式 of), 所以 to 不能省略.

I do not think so.

as mere meat scavengers, has emerged from examining tools found in Germany that includes three wooden spears that archaeologists believe to be about 400,000 years old.

That从句应该修饰复数名词tools，谓语需用include；from + doing表状态不对，应用from+名词表 <== PP破解寫的. 如果that真的被限定只能refer to the previous noun, 那麼這裡就該refer to Germany, 但邏輯不符. 事實上應該是指代tools.

也就是說不一定指代前面一個名詞, 還是要從邏輯的意思來看, 比較合理的說法是, Trenton(紐澤西的首府)不會去尋找waterfront來改善和吸引企業. communities才是合理的解釋. 致於one向前指代Trenton.


SC最高指導原則, 句意, 但也是最難的, 因為考試時間太短.

講的好,pp2-31是鐵證

Gone are the sharp edges and jutting planes of styles from former eras; instead, designers of everything from cars to computer monitors have adopted a cornerless style of smooth surfaces and curves that is more ergonomic, conforming to the shape of the body rather than flaunting shape for its own sake.
