(A) in which great ice sheets had existed in nowcurrently temperate areas

但是在有些题中 ADJ+ADJ+N 又成为了正确答案
OG13-126
The use of lie detectors is based on the assumption that lying produces emotional reactions in an individual that, in turn, create unconscious physiological responses.
A that, in turn, create unconscious physiological responses
B that creates unconscious physiological responses in turn
C creating, in turn, unconscious physiological responses
D to create, in turn, physiological responses that are unconscious
E who creates unconscious physiological responses in turn
第二题,你可以纵向比较一下,ABCE都是unconscious physiplogical response; D是physiological responses that are unconsicious,D选项明显比其他选项都冗杂一些,选项里也没有更好的表达方式,那unconcious physiological response这样的表达形式也是可以的。
用more or less修饰的词语的确要特别注意一样他们的放置位置,因为more&less 既可以做为ADJ也可以作为ADV,所以很容易造成修饰歧义。
举一个例子,less limited water access
这里因为less既可以做adj又可以做adv,所以它修饰的对象,既可以是limited water access也可以是water access,会造成歧义,所以这样子的就一定是错误的
