如果在题干部分看到两个复数名词在文中划线处看到they 那么是不是马上就可以断定指代不清并予以排除

NO. e.g. OG-1.

1. The Wallerstein study indicates that even after a decade young men and women still experience some of the effects of a divorce occurring when a child.

(A) occurring when a child

(B) occurring when children

(C) that occurred when a child

(D) that occurred when they were children（D）

(E) that has occurred as each was a child

如果根据文中意思完全能合理的推断出they的指代对象那么这又该怎么办呢

It depends. OG-4. they in B,C,D :

4. The only way for growers to salvage frozen citrus is to process them quickly into juice concentrate before they rot when warmer weather returns.

(A) to process them quickly into juice concentrate before they rot when warmer weather returns

(B) if they are quickly processed into juice concentrate before warmer weather returns to rot them

(C) for them to be processed quickly into juice concentrate before the fruit rots when warmer weather returns

(D) if the fruit is quickly processed into juice concentrate before they rot when warmer weather returns（E）

(E) to have it quickly processed into juice concentrate before warmer weather returns and rots the fruit

For parallelism, the linking verb is should link two infinitives: The only way to salvage... is to process. Choice A begins with an infinitive, but the plural pronouns them and they do not agree with the singular noun citrus. Choices B, C, and D do not begin with an infinitive, and all present pronoun errors: the plural pronouns cannot grammatically refer to citrus or fruit, nor can they refer to farmers without absurdity. The best choice, E, has parallel infinitives and uses fruit to refer unambiguously to citrus. E also expresses the cause-and-effect relationship between the return of warmer weather and the rotting of the fruit; A, C, and D merely describe these events as contemporaneous.

ETS的考点是如果两个名词一个代词就算错还是要对这个代词的指代对象进行分析如果分析不出来具体指代那个名词就算错到底是怎么样的呀
