OG38?


38. Scientists have observed large concentrations of heavy-metal deposits in the upper twenty centimeters of Baltic Sea sediments, which are consistent with the growth of industrial activity there.


(A)              Baltic Sea sediments, which are consistent with the growth of industrial activity there


(B)              Baltic Sea sediments, where the growth of industrial activity is consistent with these findings


(C)             Baltic Sea sediments, findings consistent with its growth of industrial activity


(D)             sediments from the Baltic Sea, findings consistent with the growth of industrial activity in the area


(E)              sediments from the Baltic Sea, consistent with the growth of industrial activity there


All of the choices but D contain ambiguities. In A and B the words which and where appear to refer to sediments, and in E it is not clear what consistent describes. In A, C, and E, there is no logical place to which there or its could refer. In D, the best choice, the phrase sediments from the Baltic Sea tells where the sediments originate, findings provides a noun for consistent to modify, and in the area clearly identifies where the industrial activity is growing.


哪位NN能帮我解释一下吗?

the phrase sediments from the Baltic Sea tells where the sediments originate

我认为这句话告诉我们sediments from the Baltic Sea 好于Baltic Sea sediments的表示法

Baltic Sea sediments和sediments from the Baltic Sea虽然意思上有微小的不同,我觉得,the phrase sediments from the Baltic Sea tells where the sediments originate 不应该作为判据。因为Baltic Sea sediments also tells where the sediments originate


判据应该是:后面分句的in the area需要指代的对象。Baltic Sea sediments不能,Baltic Sea可以。


请NN指正。这一题OG的解释困扰我很长时间了,和楼主的疑惑一样。我觉得OG里的有些解释有问题。

Baltic Sea sediments为什么没有sediments from the Baltic Sea好啊?不是前者更简洁吗?还有OG的解释,实在不明白,谁能再解释一下啊?

可能是:sediments from the Baltic Sea,研究的时候这个sediments来自Baltic Sea但已经在实验室了。Baltic Sea sediments可能给人误解,在研究的时候科学家dive into Baltic Sea with scuba and analyze the sediments on site.

og说from很明白的表示了sediments的来源,不会产生歧义。Baltic Sea sediments并不能说明sediments是Baltic Sea产生的,还是其他来源。

支持二位的解释。

欧觉得已经事情已经比较清楚了。

我的理解是:

修饰成份要尽量靠近被修饰部分

(C)              Baltic Sea sediments, findings consistent with its growth of industrial activity

(D)              sediments from the Baltic Sea, findings consistent with the growth of industrial activity in the area

这里in the upper twenty centimeters of 显然要修饰不是B海而是sediments, C可能会造成歧义
