OG12: 14. Sunspots, vortices of gas associated with strong electromagnetic activity, are visible as dark spots on the surface of the Sun but have never been sighted on the Sun's poles or equator.
(A). are visible as dark spots on the surface of the Sun but have not been sighted on
(B). are visible as dark spots that never have been sighted on the surface od the sun
(C).appear as dark spots on the surface of the sun, although never sighted at
(D).appear as dark spots on the surface of the sun, although never having been sighted at
(E).appear as dark spots on the surface of the sun, which have never been sighted on

正解A
C,D选项错误的理由是 although通常引导一个从句, 这个从句不许有subject和verb

如果这个说法成立,那么,下面的情况又怎么解释?
158. With only 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume 28 percent of its nonrenewable resources, drive more than one-third of its automobiles, and use 21 times more water per capita than Europeans do.
(A) With
(B) As
(C) Being
(D) Despite having
(E) Although accounting for

Answer is E.

刚才我也在质疑OG解释里的这个关于although的说法,搜到这个贴子了,发现lz跟我想的一样

我觉得吧,这题选A是没问题的,只是OG说although后面必须是完整的clause,这点我不认同。
反例包括:
1. 你举的例子
158. Although accounting for only 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume 28 percent of its nonrenewable resources, drive more than one-third of its automobiles, and use 21 times more water per capita than Europeans do.

2. OG12 Q35正确句子:
35.    Along with the drop in producer prices announced yesterday, the strong retail sales figures released today seem to indicate that the economy, although growing slowly, is not nearing a recession.

3. 这里最后一个贴子有同学提到的prep的例子:
http://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/1000-sc-677-t1545.html
1#Although unhappy with the high rent her company was paying for its suburban office building, the chief executive recognized rental rates for buildings in the suburbs as far lower than it typically is for property that is located within the city limits.
2#Although eradicated in the United States, polio continues elsewhere and could be brought into the country by visitors.

4. Imagination and Heart by Cooper, James Fenimore
Although deluded, weak, and even indiscreet, Julia was not indelicate.

Usage Note: As conjunctions, although and though are generally interchangeable: Although (or though) she smiled, she was angry. Although is usually placed at the beginning of its clause (as in the preceding example), whereas though may occur elsewhere and is the more common term when used to link words or phrases, as in wiser though poorer. In certain constructions, only though is acceptable: Fond though (not although) I am of sports, I'd rather not sit through another basketball game.

我发现的规律是:在以上列举的although后面不跟complete clause但是正确的句子里
1. "although" is placed at the beginning of its "chunk" (next to comma)
2. 就算把原句的"although"去掉,所得到的句子语法上仍然是正确的。例如:
Accounting for only 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume 28 percent of its nonrenewable resources, drive more than one-third of its automobiles, and use 21 times more water per capita than Europeans do.

然后OG12 Q14 (sunspots)这道题,C和D里,如果把although去掉,句子语法不正确。所以C/D里面although用法错误。

Just my 2c. Open to discussion.

OG12: 14. Sunspots, vortices of gas associated with strong electromagnetic activity, are visible as dark spots on the surface of the Sun but have never been sighted on the Sun's poles or equator.
(A). are visible as dark spots on the surface of the Sun but have not been sighted on
(B). are visible as dark spots that never have been sighted on the surface od the sun
(C).appear as dark spots on the surface of the sun, although never sighted at
(D).appear as dark spots on the surface of the sun, although never having been sighted at
(E).appear as dark spots on the surface of the sun, which have never been sighted on

baby姐,这道题OG的C、D的解释我有不同理解~~~大家可以讨论讨论哇。

我觉得C、D这里说although这里必须要用完整句子是没错的,她的意思并不是说although必须要用完整句子,只是在在这道题目里,C、D要是要表达题目想要表达的意思的话,必须要用完整句子

读完原句之后能体会到这里有一层转折关系,要用but/although来表达。
而C、D如果不省略,即补全了句子应该是appear as dark spots on the surface of the sun, although they (Sunspots) have never been sighted on
这里的although是不能省略的,因为although作状语从句省略是必须要符合两个条件,(1)省略的主语跟主句主语一致.(2)从句的谓语是be动词。
而这里C、D的省略都不符合,所以必须得补全although从句的主谓。
(C).appear as dark spots on the surface of the sun, although never sighted at
(D).appear as dark spots on the surface of the sun, although never having been sighted at

刚看到这里Ron解释另一道题目
http://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/industrialization-and-modtern-methods-of-insect-control-have-t460-15.html

My Take-home:
1. "but" is a parallel indicator
2. usage of "although"

"even though" MUST be followed by a clause.
"although", however, can be followed by an adjective or adjective phrase: james, although bigger than many of the other players, is one of the fastest men on the team.

Although having been never sighted on the Sun's poles or equator, sunspots, vortices of gas associated with strong electromagnetic activity,  appear as dark spots on the surface of the sun.D选项这样组合的话应该对的吧。
因为“Although having been never sighted on the Sun's poles or equator” 这句话不管有没有"Although"都是作为主语sunspots的修饰语,所以touch原则,应该移到sunspots句子的左右。

这个帖子还没讨论完...
请问C/D选项中的although后面跟的可以看做是adjective or adjective phrase吗?所以说从这个角度说although用法是正确的?

题中说C/D,although需要主语,是因为离主语Sunspots太远了,所以如果用although的话,就必须再说一遍主语?

但如楼上#7所说,如果把although部分提到句首,although就不再需要添上主语了吧?

牛人,请示下
