The department defines a private passenger vehicle as one registered to an individual with a gross weight of less than 8,000 pounds. (A) as one registered to an individual with a gross weight of less than 8,000 pounds (B) to be one that is registered to an individual with a gross weight of less than 8,000 pounds (C) as one that is registered to an individual and that has a gross weight of less than 8,000 pounds (D) to have a gross weight less than 8,000 pounds and being registered to an individual (E) as having a gross weight of less than 8,000 pounds and registered to an individual Choices A and B say that the individual, not the vehicle, has a gross weight of less than 8000 pounds, and defines…to be in B is incorrect. Choice C, the best answer, produces the correct phrase (defines…as) and clarifies the statement with a parallel construction (one that is … and that has…). In choice d, defines…to have is faulty, of is missing between weight and less, and being is not parallel with to have. In choice E, the verb forms having and registered are not parallel. The question is a little more difficult than the average. 答案没问题,但不明白In choice E, the verb forms having and registered are not parallel. 记得有过去分词与现在分词平行的情况. 作者: z520m 时间: 2005-8-26 23:02
请楼主标出题号，以便后人查询。这里E当然不平衡，因为registered不能修饰vehicle,只能修饰one,所以E错
