OG 251

aeoluseros

这道题目。。。我对OG10和楼上各位所说的OG11（没在OG11里看到这个题啊，是第几题啊？）关于E选项的解释都不理解。。。

OG10：

Choices D and E wrongly use a phrase introduced by now with to modify The gyrfalcon. In both choices, the phrase confusingly seems to parallel with extinction; a new clause with a present tense verb is needed to state what the gyrfalcon's numbers are now.

如ywgre所说：说是可以构成平行也不太正确吧，不需要and来连接吗，所以关于平行是可以排除的，，不知理解对不对，是不是有now就不需and了

OG11:没在OG11里看到这个题啊，是第几题啊？

如dormousedzc所说：with...结构什么时候可以修饰前面的宾语了? 不是一向都优先修饰主语么,怎么现在挑错都如此自然,和谐?

而且我还再加一点点疑问：

OG10里：Choices D and E wrongly use a phrase introduced by now with to modify The gyrfalcon.这句话什么意思啊？now with怎么就不能修饰gyrfalcon了？the gyrfalcon with the numbers这个说法很对啊？

OG11原来说的是紫本verbal...

Agreement + Structure

The original sentence contains no errors．Each alternative introduces an error or changes the meaning of the original sentence．The semicolon correctly connects the closely related ideas in the two independent clauses．The gyrfalcon is the antecedent for its in the second phrase．

A  Correct．The original sentence correctly uses a singular pronoun，its，to refer to the singular antecedent gyrfalcon，and it properly uses the construction its numbers are．．．greater than．

B  The use of more instead of greater inappropriately implies there are now more numbers，rather than more gyrfalcons．

C  The pronoun their is plural and incorrect since the antecedent gyrfalcon is singular．

D  The pronoun they is plural and incorrect since the antecedent gyrfalcon is singular；comma usage introduces a confusing phrase seeming to modify extinction．

E  Comma usage introduces a confusing phrase seeming to modify extinction．

The correct answer is A．

这里的解释就清楚多了...momo啊momo...

试着解释一下：根据白勇的语法：分号连接的是两个分句，所以，A中的its指的是主语gyrfalcon；而逗号连接的要么是插入语要么是介词短语进行修饰，如E项now前面是逗号，后面的介词短语进行修饰，如果按照就近原则的话，now就有可能修饰extinction.

期待进一步讨论。

aeoluseros斑斑，你看11对DE的解释，我不明白啊？

E  Comma usage introduces a confusing phrase seeming to modify extinction．

with...结构什么时候可以修饰前面的宾语了? 不是一向都优先修饰主语么。我一直的认为是with没有逗号修饰前面的名词或者做状语修饰主句主语都可以，所以有歧义的。但with前 面有逗号基本都是做状语，或者是独立主格结构的。这里怎么会也可以修饰前面呢？？我觉得10的解释还比较好懂，11的就完全不明白啊？：

请斑斑指点！！！

aeoluseros

前面是完成时,所以with结构是不会表示伴随状语的（with做伴随状语和独立主格是需要与前面的谓语动词同时发生）...所以只能做定语修饰前面的extinction.

sharon213

可是“，with”我在og中看几乎所有都是做状语的啊，没见过做定语的

sharon213

还有就是og10上说的到底是修饰extinction还是和他平行呢？？平行难道不要加and直接有now就可以么？

aeoluseros

with引导的介词短语始终是有做定语的功能的，只是放在逗号再加with这样子表达并不好,不如去掉逗号或改为定语从句，在GMAT里面貌似是错误的。

如果now是连接性副词那么那样的平行是可以的...可是我没有查到now可以做连接性副词，只有查到then可以。不过两者很相似，有理由相信，now可以连接两个并列成分。

OG10和11的解释应该都是对的，也就是同时存在两种歧义。

sharon213

谢谢斑斑，那是不是就是有逗号的with放在句尾也可以做定语修饰前面的名词的？

就是这样SVO,with。。。这样with也是可以修饰O的？只是这样不好，不如分词和定从来的直接？是这样理解的么？
