PREP-T1-Q77

[ginachi]

Scientists have found signs that moving water changed the chemical makeup of the surface of Mars in recent eras, therefore concluding that its crust is harboring up to three times as much water than was previously thought.

(A) eras, therefore concluding that its crust is harboring up to three times as much water than was
(B) eras, therefore concluding that the planet's crust harbors up to three times as much water or more as was
(C) eras and have therefore concluded that the planet's crust harbors up to three times as much water as
(D) eras and they have concluded, therefore, that its crust harbors up to three times as much water, or more, than
(E) eras and concluded, therefore, that the planet's crust is harboring up to three times more water as was


答案：c
想問一下大大們這句是如何比較的呢??
thought是被previously修飾應該是動詞不是名詞那整句看下來是只有scientists會though可眼拙的我還原不出原句是怎麼做比較然後怎麼省略的??

考 1. 代名詞, 2. 時態, 3. as...as成對.

the planet's crust harbors up to three times as much water as (water that scientists) previously thought

發現後認為的 water 和發現之前認為的 water 比較

總覺得(C)的and前面要有comma.

總覺得(C)的and前面要有comma.

(奇怪! 劃不了線??)

題目應該可以分為兩個層次
一個是藍色部份的主句 一個是紅色部份的子句
逗號的功能不就是把層次跳回主句嗎??
以此題來說
如果沒有加逗號 就不知道答案要平行紅色的部份 還是藍色的部份
這也是我當初沒選(C)的原因

沒人回我(可能在投票吧!)
在頂一下!!! 我頂....!!!

此句結構: 科學家發現........所以結論................

而 紅色部份是無法與 所以結論 平行
中文唸起來可以,英文不行耶

[chencraig0227]

呵呵! 我了解了...
因為conclude根本不可能跟that..字句平行
這樣就變成moving water在conclude...根本就不通....
唉! 果然過幾天在看腦子會比較清楚。

總算這次很快有共識了
