16. (25289-!-item-!-188;#058&002314)

The single-family house constructed by the Yana, a Native American people who lived in what is now northern California, was conical in shape, its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet.

(A) banked with dirt to a height of
(B) banked with dirt as high as that of
(C) banked them with dirt to a height of
(D) was banked with dirt as high as
(E) was banked with dirt as high as that of


答案A.
首先我刪去B和E是因為that 在這裡無法指代, 因為句子講的就是house高度堆到有3-4呎高, that不能指前面的任何名詞
C的them很詭異, 要是指slab嗎?

我在A和D中掙扎
這題and 顯然是要和前面 was conical in shape來平衡, 說明house的狀況
我不確定A 選項中的 was是否被省略, 但覺得house應該是被動被堆高的, 所以was在這裡應該不是被刪去的重點

請問D裡面 dirt as high as 3 to 4 feet 這種說法是有問題的嗎?

[hwatai]

and 後方的資訊，我認為不是與was conical in shape平衡，說明house的狀況

而是與overlaid with slabs of bark平衡，說明framework of poles的狀況

D的說法是有問題的，應該是
sth was banked with dirt as high as sth (was)

白話解釋：
我有170公分高，而非
我像170公分一樣高

[dibert8]

(D) was banked with dirt as high as three to four feet (is)
be 動詞省略(時態比主要子句晚).但是 was banked (過去分詞表被動) 跟 was conical (形容詞) 不平衡.

好個茅塞頓開.....

真害....我居然犯了兩個最基本的不平衡的錯..... Orz

問了笨問題，拍賽啦~~~

[dibert8]

感謝提問!
其實我覺得上咖啡店來看問題比自己埋頭做題目更可以藉著集思廣益釐清諸多盲點,也比較有效率.

[nemolee]

因為第一眼選(B) ><

(D)(E) 流水句
(C)就上面幾位大大說的them無指代

(A)(B)選一個，結果PP 答案是(A)

想請問(B)選項中的 that 可以指到framework ?

[dibert8]

1. 指 framework 沒有實質的句意,變成多餘了.
as high as framework of three to four feet => 直接說 as high as three to four feet 就行了.
2. 自己和自己比?

The single-family house constructed by the Yana, a Native American people who lived in what is now northern California, was conical in shape, its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet.

(A) banked with dirt to a height of
(B) banked with dirt as high as that of
that 無可指代
(C) banked them with dirt to a height of
them 無可指代
(D) was banked with dirt as high as (結構跟高度比, 錯)
不對稱, 高度跟高度比, 人跟人比, 房子跟房子比
(E) was banked with dirt as high as that of
that 無可指代

PP全破說 : was banked with dirt as high as 邏輯上不該與was conical平行, 錯, 但我覺得真的很難看出來. 儘管這題我做對.
and was banked...在语法上与主句was conical…并列，改变原句意思

不過說句實在話, 不是頂懂得完整的文法架構!!
S, 同位格, was conical ..., its framework of ... overlaied ..., and banked with 請問後面的its framework of ... overlaied ..., and banked with 似乎沒有S+V+O就這樣結束了. 可是看起來又不是shape的同位格.
應該是指The single-family house constructed by the Yana這房子, 但後補一句話, 感覺怪怪的.

[dibert8]

這結構稱為"獨立主格".
