51. The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month.
(A) world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month
(B) world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival's month
(C) world when they proclaimed a sacred truce for the festival month
(D) world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival
(E) world by proclamation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival
选C？不能随便用during吧？
D
C的they无指代对象
festival month用法不正确
C中的they有指代对象.they指前面的the pugnacious states. 好象这个理由不太充分啊.
我认为这道题应该从前后两句的逻辑意思说来分析一下
The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world和后面a sacred truce was proclaimed的关系是什么呢?
从时间顺序上看,先有后面的truce,后有前面的help.从逻辑关系上看,因为后面的truce才导致了前面的help.所以排除B,C
A中festival's month明显错误,E中proclamation的逻辑主语不对
所以选D
C中的they有指代对象.they指前面的the pugnacious states. 好象这个理由不太充分啊.
呵呵，我的意思是指代不清，they可以指代states与Games
51. The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month.
(A) world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month
(B) world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival's month

This sentence depends on using the correct conjunction to join two independent clauses. In that is a conjunction that means inasmuch as; because in that has largely gone out of use, it is considered stilted and overly formal. It also uses two words when one would do. In this sentence, the second clause explains the first one, so the conjunction for; meaning because, is the most appropriate choice for joining the tow independent clauses of the compound sentence.
A In that is stilted and overly formal
B It is not clear who would be doing the proclaiming; a clause is preferable to a phase here
C They is ambiguous, possibly referring to either the states or the Games
D Correct. In this sentence, the conjunction for joins the two clauses correctly and economically.
E Wordy and awkward construction
The correct answer is D.
刚打出来的，有错提醒我。
for跟because差不多，但意义稍弱一点，而且because前面一般没有逗号，for引导结果状语从句一般前面加逗号。
至于说in that的because意思过时，估计是gmac的新家规了。
festive's month感觉很生硬，xuedi的说法It is more idomatic to say the month of the festival. The festival is in some month, but it does not process a month，比较有道理。
TO seasnow:
during修饰的是truce,而不是proclaimed这个动词。
for跟because差不多，但意义稍弱一点，而且because前面一般没有逗号，for引导结果状语从句一般前面加逗号。
至于说in that的because意思过时，估计是gmac的新家规了。
也是对于为什么不能用 in that 感到比较不理解，特地过来看讨论。
看来也能同意楼上的说法了。
本题答案c无异议。我排除选项b主要是因为festiva's month感觉生硬。但og排除b时居然没提到这一点，反倒说b没有说明谁宣布的协定，其实这一点在正确答案d中也同样看不出来，就是原题中也没有明确体现。另一条理由‘从句更好’也没有说服力。我觉得如果将festival's month改为month of festival，则b可以理解为现在分词作方式状语，而且比d更简洁。欢迎讨论。
TO seasnow:
during修饰的是truce,而不是proclaimed这个动词。
选项D中，a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival
我还是觉得很容易产生歧义，造成during修饰瞬间动词的感觉
记得XDF老师说 in that>because 是比较正式的书面语形式 是gmat的优选结构 这里不选A不是因为in that 我觉得是's的用法错误
记得XDF老师说 in that>because 是比较正式的书面语形式 是gmat的优选结构 这里不选A不是因为in that 我觉得是's的用法错误
但是在og-11的51题解释里面，gmat说in that的用法has largely gone out of use...
也就是说ets现在认为in that过时了。。。晕阿~~
大家可以去download OG, 大全有些答案是不對的.
Idiom + Rhetorical construction

-- 作者：linda816 TO seasnow: during修饰的是truce,而不是proclaimed这个动词。以下是引用seasnow在2006-1-19 15:11:00的发言：
可是was proclaimed 是一个瞬间动作，为什么可以用during呢？以下是引用snowfield在2006-6-26 16:37:00的发言：
TO seasnow:
during修饰的是truce,而不是proclaimed这个动词。
during the month..是沒問題的. Lonman Dictionary對於during有兩個解釋：
1. from the beginning to the end of a period of time. ex. Foxes remain hidden during the day. (during the day 都可以了 , during the month應該沒問題吧～)
2. at some point in a period of time. ex. My friend was killed during the war.
請問您如何知道是"states of Greek world proclaim a sacred truce. "? 這個題目應該根本不管是誰proclaim, 他要考生注意的是在不確定主語是誰的狀況下, 是可以將事件(或受詞)轉成主語成變成被動語態, 從這裡可知, gmac的rule不是死的(一般都是說主動優於被動) , 正確答案是必須在沒有岐意下產出, 正確答案是在五個選項裡相對找出好的, 沒有絕對的rule. 只有相對的rule.
1. as and since:
As and since are used when the reason is already known to the listener/reader, or when it is not the most important part of the sentence. As - and since - clauses often come at the beginning of sentences. often come at the beginning of sentences.
As it's raining again, we'll have to stay at home.
Since he had not paid his bill, his electricity was cut off.
As - and since - clauses are relatively formal; in an informal style, the same ideas are often expressed with so.
It's raining again, so we'll have to stay at home.
2. because:
Because puts more emphasis on the reason, and most often introduces new information which is not known to the listener/reader.
Because I was ill for six months, I lost my job.
When the reason is the most important part of the sentence, the because - clause usually comes at the end. It can also stand alone. Since and as cannot be used like this.
Why am I leaving? I'm leaving because I'm fed up ! (NOT..... I'm leaving as/since I'm fed up!)
"Why are you laughing? " "Because you look so funny".
A because - clause can be used at the end of a sentence to say how one knows something can be used at the end of a sentence to say how one knows something.
You didn't tell me the truth, because I found the money in your room. ( = .... I know because I found....)
3. for :
For introduces new information, but suggests that the reason is given as an afterthought. A for - clause could almost be in brackets. For - clauses never come at the beginning of sentences, and cannot stand alone never come at the beginning of sentences, and cannot stand alone. For, used in this sense, is most common in a formal written style.
I decided to stop and have lunch - for I was feeling hungry.
4. in that:
used after a statement to begin to explain in what way it is true
I've been lucky in that I have never had to worry about money.
5. during and in
We use both during and in to say that something happens inside a particular period of time.
We'll be on holiday during/in August.
I woke up during/in the night.
We prefer duing when we stress that we are talking about the whole of the period.
The shop's closed during the whole of August. (NOT...in the whole of August.)
We often prefer during when we say that something happens between the beginning and end of an event or activity (not a period of time).
He had some strange experiences during his military service. (NOT...in his military service.)
I'll try to phone you during the meeting. (NOT...in the meeting.)
I met them during my stay in HongKong.
6. during and for
During is used to say when something happens; for is used to say how long it lasts. Compare:
My father was in hospital during the summer.
My father was in hospital for six weeks. (NOT...during six weeks.)
It rained during the night for two or three hous.
I'll call in and see you for a few minutes during the afternoon.

B: OG说的"It is not clear who would be doing the proclaiming"怎么理解？
这里D的proclaimed的发起者是truce,for引导的是原因状语从句。for是连词，需要完整的主谓结构。如果for是介词则不能有完整的主谓结构。
B的proclaiming是现在分词，需要逻辑主语，也就是动作的发出者，而这里却没有。game是不能proclaim的。
in that一般被翻译为 在于... 这样一来就更好理解它的用法了，听起来也确实有些生硬，被认为过时无可厚非。但是怎么会有那么多人没见过for的用法呢？这是很常见的 而且一般可以很通俗的将其理解为 为了...
其实很多表示原因（因为）的单词很多，但不一定非要全都翻译成因为，这样是很容易混淆的，我们没有必要精确翻译一个单词的中文意思，而应理解由单词组成的整句话所表达的意思。我觉得中国考生真的实在是太强调语法本身了，这样学英文太费劲，语言本来就是一种习惯，只要符合idiom就是正确的 没有为什么！就拿festival's month来说，你们看到这样的用法不觉得别扭吗？回想一下多年来所接触的英文 有这种表示的吗？在看此帖之前我并不知道它为什么不对，只是觉得不符合语言习惯，就像上面说的，一般只有人或动物等有生命的事物才会这样用，虽然之前我没想过这点 但是在我大脑里早已形成这样的潜意识，大家学习语言应该以感觉（语感）为主，不要束缚于语法，如果你能够通过经验总结出它的语法规则，那么你就真正掌握了一门语言 而不是让语言（语法）掌握了你。本来此题是不难的，但是看了这么多的分析 我真有点晕了，我的语法其实相比之下是很差的 但是做SC部分并没感到很吃力，希望大家不要在无谓的研究语法了，建议！
OG的解释是这样说的: in that is a conjunction that means in as much as; because in that has largely gone out of use, it is considered stilted and overly formal. For, meaning because, is the most appropriate choice for joining the two independent clauses of the compound sentence.
但我觉得奇怪的是，in that为什么会out of use了呢？托福作文里都还经常出现的呀，这种理由不太充分啊。
千年破题了
我觉得关键是看动作的发起者
到底是奥林匹克还是人发起了那个动作

"the festival's month"
做题的时候我不确定是不是专有名词啊！
the month of the festival是什么意思呢？
我认为也许是in that较for表原因的语气太多正式,而原句main clause与后面的句子原因关系没有这么强烈.
讨论了这么久还是没个正确的说法阿，NN们出来指点下吧~~
看OG对IN THAT的解释：“largely gone out of use”以后见到这个，肯定不会选了
for是连词，相当于because
看OG对IN THAT的解释：“largely gone out of use”以后见到这个，肯定不会选了
for是连词，相当于because
上课居然还总结in that是优选结构
同问，upup，难道是就近指代跟逻辑指代的问题？
不是说代词优先指代主句主语么
对于B选项：
ing分词短语在句尾:
Ø 表伴随动作/状态/功能,与句子谓语动作同时发生,逻辑主语=句子主语
Ø 表伴随结果,整个句子是原因,导致分词动作产生,无逻辑主语.可以在分词前加thus/thereby/in effect等,也可以不加
都不对，如果是第一条，逻辑主语是games？？？显然不对，而且没有表达出原句应有的逻辑关系。
如果是第二条，主句是因，doing短语表伴随结果，与原文逻辑显然不同！！！
对于C选项，they指代可能是states，可能是games，有歧义
这里的they指代有问题， 前面出现了2个复数名词。 代词一般都优先指代主句的主语。这里可以指代states也可以是games.
LZM的书上直接用被动排除了A和C，A里面的in that 在现在GMAC眼里"largely gone out of use".看来老刘过时啦
这个题的C选项明显不如D选项优啊
原句中in that表示的就是因为，用for引导的原因状语从句替换比用when更能体现原句中划线部分对前一句的解释
而且they究竟是指olympic games还是the pugnacious states of the Greek world？也指代不明
至于during the month of festival，我觉得意思是说was proclaimed这个动作发生在这个月。并不是指proclaim这个瞬间动作延续。比如a thief broke the door during the night.意思是小偷在夜间破门而入，并不是说破门这个动作发生了一夜啊。
还请NN指教：）
对于B选项：
ing分词短语在句尾:
Ø 表伴随动作/状态/功能,与句子谓语动作同时发生,逻辑主语=句子主语
Ø 表伴随结果,整个句子是原因,导致分词动作产生,无逻辑主语.可以在分词前加thus/thereby/in effect等,也可以不加
