Recent breakthroughs in technology have made it possible that high-definition digital video cameras are able to capture material with a degree of fidelity that nearly compares to 35-millimeter film and to project it digitally in theaters with no resulting loss of image quality.

(A) it possible that high-definition digital video cameras are able to capture material with a degree of fidelity that nearly compares to
(B) it possible to have high-definition digital video cameras that can capture material at a degree of fidelity almost like that with
(C) it possible for high-definition digital video cameras to capture material with a degree of fidelity nearly comparable to that of
(D) possible high-definition digital video cameras that can capture material at a degree of fidelity almost like
(E) possible high-definition digital video cameras able to capture material with a degree of fidelity that nearly compares to that with

ANs C.
Though make it possible for sb to do sth is ok, so that we can choose C. But, which is the "with a degree of fidelity"形容? is it capture? Also, which is the "that" stands for? "a degree"? or "a degree of fidelity"

Thanks a lot.

沒畫線的地方有and to v... 因此畫線處未出現不定式的(D)可刪
make it possible是慣用文法，(D)(E)刪；使用虛主詞時後方要接to v或that名詞子句，(A)(B)(C)全部符合此條件，繼續...
(B)有兩個地方不好，一個是possible的重心在to have，句意走味，留意ACDE的重心全在to capture；另一個是後方用了like～

(A)material... that compares to 35mm film是錯誤的比較，變成material與相機比
應該是
(C)material (that is省略) comparable to that(指material) of 35mm film

[dibert8]

(D) (E) 的意思變成 make cameras possible 句意到這裡就沒了.
(B) have "有" => 不選
(A) fidelity 和 film 比較不同類

possible that S be able to / can ... 不簡潔

[ggethan]

我想問一下

make it possible that S+can/be able to...
其中possible已經表可能,是不是再用can/be able to 就是redunancyㄋ

另外
...be likely that S+will...
其中likely已經表未來可能發生的事,在用will是不是也是redundancy

請大家幫忙想想看囉

[hey]

我第一個會先刪去(A), 因為已經made it possible了, 而其後面的子句再加上be able to實在是有點繞口且多餘了

[ggethan]

謝謝你的回答 我知道了^^

[kaijen]

請問(A)(E)compares to是正確的用法嗎? 還是一定要改為被動才對?
底下這一題(B)錯的原因就是compare沒有用被動
想問一下這裡(A)(E)是不是也犯同樣的錯誤?

A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO's now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.

(A) that CEO's now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times
(B) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times
(C) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
(D) CEO's who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
(E) CEO's now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times

Ans:(C)

[dibert8]

102 題裡 (A) 的 compares to "相當於",到這裡用法並無不妥;主要錯在 fidelity 和 film 比較不同類.
依此, (E) 的 compares to 也說得通,但是 make possible ...cameras 句意已經變了.意思是 make cameras possible, 因為 cameras 有一堆說明,所以放後面去了.這和原來要表達的 make it possible 意思有出入 (it 指 cameras 的能力,而不是 cameras)

132 題裡 (B) 的 compares to "相當於",句意不合理.用被動才合理(相較於).

[dibert8]

132. A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO's now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.
(A) that CEO's now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times
(B) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times
(C) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
(D) CEO's who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
(E) CEO's now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times

(A) in 1980 修飾歧異 (i.e. 在 1980 做的比較?); a ratio of 多餘; 冠詞應該限定
(B) in 1980 修飾歧異 (造成 compares in 1980 應該用過去式); compares to 句意不合理
(C) 正確地運用逗點,修飾清楚.
(D) (E) 改變句意: ... indicates CEO's 然後沒了.

[ivawu]

(D) (E) 的意思變成 make cameras possible 句意到這裡就沒了.
(B) have "有" => 不選
(A) fidelity 和 film 比較不同類

possible that S be able to / can ... 不簡潔

(B) have "有" => 不選
請問這是什麼規則嗎？謝謝～

另外，根據莫北北的說法，
compare是及物動詞，要接受詞後才接to，
所以如果是直接接to的話，是被動形式，
換句話說，compares to要改成compared to才對

[dibert8]

have "有"通常不簡潔 (e.g. '我去補習 GMAT' vs '我"有"去補習 GMAT'),但不一定可以依此刪除選項,要看句意.
(B) 的句意已經改變.

[阿琪]

欲表達 : 某個東西或人(此題為 high-definition digital video cameras) 使有可能 去做某事(to capture material with a degree of fidelity)

慣用的句子結構為 make it possilbe for sth or somebody to do sth

To understand the SC has made it possible for people to get a higher score in the verbal.

[Kal-El]

請問一下啊~
答案C:
Recent breakthroughs in technology have made it possible for high-definition digital video cameras to capture material with a degree of fidelity nearly comparable to that of 35-millimeter film and to project it digitally in theaters with no resulting loss of image quality.
有兩個it,
第一個是made (it) possible~: 是(虛O.) 代 to V~
第二個是to project (it)~: 是代 material
兩個不一樣ㄟ～醬子可以嗎?

謝謝指教~
