再问prep 150，关于同位语

dogshead

150. (33009-!-item-!-188;#058&006530)
The computer company has announced that it will purchase the color-printing division of a rival

company for $950 million, which is part of a deal that will make it the largest manufacturer in the

office color-printing market.
(A) million, which is part of a deal that will make

(B) million, a part of a deal that makes

(C) million, part of a deal making

(D) million as a part of a deal to make

(E) million as part of a deal that will make

C的错误有人解释为part a deal在前面找不到对应的同位对象。但是有些总结前面句子意思的同位语不需要一定有相同的词语出现在前面句子中的（有题，记不得了）。比如这里，我认为即使前面句子没有deal这个词语，deal仍然可以做同位语。这样的话只能是making出问题了。making这里表示状态或者进行都不合适，因为说的是将来的目的。

同位语的话就是修饰主语或者宾语 这个位置并没有优先级 靠逻辑分析LZ给的题里 ABC里part/a part都是名词性 ...

翻老题，给大家提个醒：Ron对D答案的解释：if you use the infinitive "to make", then the computer company is still the subject of the sentence. therefore, in this case you have to use the reflexive pronoun: itself. as an analogy, i can't look at me in the mirror, but i can look at myself in the mirror. same deal.

借帖回复一下，之前也很疑惑这题，说一下个人的观点，希望可以给后来来查题的考友一点参考
A很明确这个million不能是deal
B、C同位语从句，a part 和part这里我记得RON说没有区别，但是！同位语从句解释的是抽象名词，并且同位语从句解释前面的意义，而这里是在说前面的作用，这个点我觉得是易于区分的
D的话参考RON 解释if you use the infinitive "to make", then the computer company is still the subject of the sentence. therefore, in this case you have to use the reflexive pronoun: itself. as an analogy, i can't look at me in the mirror, but i can look at myself in the mirror. same deal.
in choice (e), "...that will make..." shifts the role of subject to deal, so a reflexive pronoun is no longer needed. in fact, the reflexive pronoun would be absurd in this case, since a deal obviously can't make itself the largest manufacturer in the market.
就是说to do 的主语是company，company只能make itself而不是it，而我们也可以看出，明显是deal 使它怎么怎么样
E作为其一部分+定语从句则不会出现上述问题，虽然看着麻烦了一点，但语义很明确

回顾讨论一下，OG的解释写道D to make 是说deal本身make，而that will make说是一个将来式，og解释有错误，ron的回答很清晰，说D的to make的主语还是company，但是后面make it the largest 应该换为make itself the largest。所以og解释中说的as a part/as part 的区别真的是有，但是考试里不能靠这个来判断。

Ginny呀

想问一下这道题part或者是a part有什么影响吗 因为og里面有个选项解释说a part会很awkward

Ron神认为只有抽象词作为同位语时能够修饰前面的一整个句子或者idea，而如果同位语是concrete名词的时候， ...
