我该怎麽办呢，我听说LZM的语法书个别题目有错，特意搞了一本白勇的，前面已经发现一道题的答案与大全不一致，这道题也不一样，

Byron possessed powers of observation that would have made him a great anthropologist and that makes his letters as a group the rival of the best novels of the time.

可是D的确会让人有歧义产生, 第一感觉就是make sth as, ETS的最高原则不是意思表达清楚吗

另外，这里的make 是would make 的省略还是就是一般现在时，不是要求平行结构对仗要工整吗

大全答案是D, 可是白勇的书上E

Byron possessed powers of observation that would have made him a great anthropologist and that makes his letters as a group the rival of the best novels of the time.

(A) makes his letters as a group the rival of

(B) makes his letters as a group one to rival

(D) make his letters as a group the rival of（D）

(E) make his letters a group which is the rival of

请高人指点一下, E有什么错吗, 是不是which指代的问题

可是D的确会让人有歧义产生, 第一感觉就是make sth as, ETS的最高原则不是意思表达清楚吗

horsefish: D 对. make sth sth. (D) make his letters as a group the rival of; as a group 是指信件一起是个group; E的意思是把他的信弄成一个group, 这个group是...对手, 而原题的意思是信件是..对手; that修饰powers(中心词),反正这5个里面只能挑D.

thanks, 看来研读白勇的书也得批判的来学，我一开始选的也是D,看了他的解释一直就很晕

我做补充教材的时候对此题没印象,但现在做大全才发现D项很VAGUE,想请教各位NN,你们在做这道题时,是一开始就知道as a group这个语法点哪,还是看了正确选项后得到的?

我反正是不看答案不会知道是这么一回事的。不知道是否有牛牛能一眼就看出letter是和rival有关系的。

为什么这里make是would make的省略呢？有这样的习惯用法吗：因为之前用了一个would, 所以后面就可以省掉？

今天又看这道题,as a group是总体而言的意思么?我怎么没查到,哪位好心人再帮忙给查查~~

因此，(D) ...power that make his letter as a group the rival of the best novels of the time. 根据前面有位仁兄/mm 讲的 his letter as a goup 作为一个整体，也就是讲 power 使Byron的作为一个整体的信成为那个时代所有优秀小说的
对手

E 中 powers make letters a group,逻辑上有点牵强, 因为一个人所有的信本来就可以作为一个整体，不需要power, 排除.

只省 D，障眼法， make his letter as a group the rival of... //as 故意蒙人，

因为没有make sth. as... 所以你说是错误或者是歧义都不行，因为后面有个rival 满足make sth. sth. 的要求，实际上它是对的。
