请教NN们,对于定语从句修饰和分词结构修饰,有什么区别吗?ETS有什么偏好吗?好像有很多地方出现选择,但没有明确说哪个优于哪个,怎么判断呢?还是说两个都可以,看其他的考点?

定语从句修饰和分词结构修饰要根据具体句子具体分析,这个句子主要就是those没有可以指代的对象。根据我的经验,Gmac一般不会直接给你定语从句修饰和分词结构修饰两种情况让你选择,一般总有一个其他错误的。不过这里用了that从句就变成限定的了,使这个句子意思很奇怪。

也就是说这两种修饰本身不能作为判断对错的依据咯?

that从句修饰的确是限定性的,那分词修饰呢?等同于非限定性吗?

分词修饰有一个作用是说这是a continuous action
我常看到OG中用动作已经完成,即非continuous来否定分词修饰
