麻煩大家解答囉^^

dependent 是形容詞，不可放在插入句的開頭來修飾tree~ B, E刪囉！

表達事實，時態用現在…could不能用，A刪吧！

depending 現在分詞，是由which is dependent較變過來，可修飾tree，所以C是OK滴！

至於because 前面可不可以有逗號：若要表達語氣轉折，用逗號是必要的，沒有限定能不能用逗號在because之前

以上參考○巴！

琪姊! (B)的 a tree, dependent on...會不會是 a tree, which is dependent on..的省略阿!!我印象中是可以的!

不過就算是可以..in that表原因的用法在OG11裡提到
是比較....(忘了怎麼形容..)不好的用法! 跟because比起來的話更是如此..

發現寫錯一個地方~~><

depending 現在分詞是由…"which depends" 所轉變過來的~
至於which …這當然可以省，只是一省就必須變成depending

in that 和because …個人不覺得哪一個優於哪一個詞…而是在於句意！！！

in that -->在於 …(在gmat中，並不會把它翻譯成"因為")
because--> 主觀的"因為"

根據句意來用哪個詞囉！如果誤認為because > in that ，那勢必會踢到鐵板！

以上參考○巴！

The yield per acre of coffee berries varies enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce enough berries to make between one and twelve pounds of dried beans a year.

(A) enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce
(B) enormously in that a single tree, dependent on its size and also on climate and altitude, is able to produce
(C) enormously, because a single tree, depending on its size and on climate and altitude, is able to produce
(D) enormously, because a single tree, being dependent on its size, climate, and altitude, is capable of producing
(E) enormously, because a single tree, dependent both on its size as well as on climate and altitude, could produce


有兩個問題 :
(i) B 選項為何錯?
(ii) because 放在句子中, 印象中前面不是不能加逗號嗎?

麻煩大家解答囉^^

B會不會是 and also 較口語 不正式 所以錯

[dibert8]

(B) enormously in that a single tree, dependent on its size and also on climate and altitude, is able to produce

tree 不能用 be able to (樹不會用力)
原句 (A) 裡 could 是"可能",現在式, be able to =/= could (改變句意)

(B) enormously in that a single tree, dependent on its size and also on climate and altitude, is able to produce

tree 不能用 be able to (樹不會用力)
原句 (A) 裡 could 是"可能",現在式, be able to =/= could (改變句意)

請問 (C) 的 is able to produce 主詞不是 tree 嗎？

(B) 可以說是用動詞 depend 比用形容詞 dependent 好嗎？

[dibert8]

不好意思,原則失準了.
想選 (A) ,但是時態錯,選不得,只有 (C) 會對了.
大概 tree 也當做有生命的吧!
