[問題]Prep-T1-Q1

[alva0930]

To meet the rising marketing demand for fish and seafood, suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment by nearly half and raising them on special diets.
(A) their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment
(B) their natural growth rate, their feed allotment cut
(C) growing them naturally, cutting their feed allotment
(D) they grow naturally, cutting their feed allotment
(E) they grow naturally, with their feed allotment cut

Ans: (D)

這題我只會用Parallelism刪去(B)與(E)，請問(A)與(C)錯在哪裡呢？

[dibert8]

as fast as 第一個 as 是副詞,第二個 as 是連接詞,要接句子.

[spiritostar]

(D) 從對稱的角度來看
as fast as 前後對稱的很漂亮
語意也不會出問題

[nomade]

(D) they grow naturally, cutting their feed allotment

請問D選項的they是代suppliers嗎?
所以對稱是不是 suppliers are growing fish 對 they grow naturally?
那麼為什麼前面是進行式, 後面是一般式呢?

[dibert8]

are growing 是一個假動作,句子的結構其實是這樣:
'suppliers' grow fish twice as fast as 'fish' grow

(A) fish 和 rate 比較不同類
(C) 前面沒有 Ving 當主詞或受詞可以和 growing 比較; grow fish naturally 有語病

請問~
莫老師說:代N優先代替原主詞
此題為什麼代fish而不是suppliers呢?

[阿琪]

代名詞很重要的一個關鍵是…把被代的名詞代過去之後，符合句意，邏輯通順…

代N優先代替原主詞是個快速且正確的觀念(一般我們講話的時候都是如此)，但是句子結構刻意修改…當原主詞不符合句意時("suppliers" grow naturally-->不符句意)，次優先的應當是最靠近代名詞的名詞~~(但也非每次都是如此，句意才是最優先考量)

重點在於句意的完整性是最優先，而非代替原主詞為第一優先(它是在符合一般情況下的概念)。

gmat在考代名詞的時候( it/ their/ they/ them/ there/ those...)，往往會讓考生在時間壓力下，刻意的混亂判斷

這在TOEFL的閱讀也很受用喔！

謝～^_^
但是啊~大陸那邊似乎是
就近指代原則優先於原主詞.....

請指正～

(A) fish 和 rate 比較不同類
(C) 前面沒有 Ving 當主詞或受詞可以和 growing 比較; grow fish naturally 有語病

我也覺得CD在於grow fish naturally / they grow naturally 的邏輯概念比較

(C)的被飼養就不能說是naturally

此題為什麼代fish而不是suppliers呢?

因為本題倒數第四個字 them 是代 fish，所以之前只要 they，them，their
只能代 fish
