B. It's unidiomatic. It should be "exonerated sb from sth..."
D. The logic subjuct will be Alfred Drefus

C. concise and no ambiguous (被免罪和釋放)

Alfred Drefus是真正的主语
B，用了to be 表示将来，和整个句子意思不符合。
D后面直接用名词，显得很AWKWARD。
并且忽略了其中的被动因素

同意深海的小美人鱼的两点解释。高人啊！

In D, Alfred Drefus would be logic 主语, if you use noun or active verbal. Logically, it means Alfred Drefus exonerate and free himself rather than "being exonerated and freed." As a result, distort the original meanings.

BTW, i have a feeling that you're using grammar and skills much more than logic meanings to pick up a best answer when you work on SC. Probably, you'd like to add 句意理解 (logic meanings) on your list besides 平行，比较，修饰语位置, 主谓一致，被动，同位语（修饰语）etc, at least, as you last resort.

Please correct me if i'm wrong.

cthd007,

Thank u very much.I understand what you mean in this question.

U just point out what my biggest mistake is SC .U got the key. Through the discussion these days , I became to realize that the logic meaning is essential to SC in GMAT, which I overlook in the previous study.

But cthd007, how can i achieve to set logic meanings top prioitity ? How ????? by ananlysis the sentence, or by reading through the explanation in SC of gmat again, or by summary again? Would u please give me some tips ?

Thank u in advance.

good question, but it's hard to answer.

Let's see a example first.

# A controversial figure throughout most of his public life, the Black leader Marcus Garvey advocated (that some Blacks return to Africa, the land that, to him, symbolized the possibility of freedom).
(A) that some Blacks return to Africa, the land that, to him, symbolized the possibility of freedom
(B) that some Blacks return to the African land symbolizing the possibility of freedom to him
(C) that some Blacks return to Africa which was the land which symbolized the possibility of freedom to him
(D) some Black’s returning to Africa which was the land that to him symbolized the possibility of freedom
(E) some Black’s return to the land symbolizing the possibility of freedom to him, Africa

One way, You can eliminate D & E by using gramar immediately (by " that"), then get rid of C ("which was") and comapre A to B by meaning or modifier. I think this is a typical methed.
On the other hand, you could eliminate B & E by logic meaning (In Chinese, you can say
that someone retures to 這片生他育他的沃土, but it's really awkward to say somebody retures to Chinese land, beijing land in Enlish, in terms of SC, illogically), then rule out C & D by "which", and come to the best answer A right away. But, this needs more practice.

My suggestion is that to try to get the meaning and structure at the same time as you read, then compare to each choice to figure out whether they convey the same ideas when the structure changed. Just like RC, different strucute might serve different purpose of a passage.

When you practice 947 or 845, try to use the different approach, namely, one is the fast way to get "right" answer; another is to spot the best one that conveys the sentence meaning or original meaning. The more you practice, the quicker you spot out. Ultimately, you use both unawareness in your exam.

cthd007,

Thank u for your kind response and useful suggestion.

Actually, I found that it is not easy to distinguish the exact meaning . In the case you mentioned , I cannot effectively differ A from B.

So should I first read through the explanation of SC in OG so that I can get the basic principle of modification and logic meaning in SC? And then praticse more in 885 to test those principle, as you suggested?

Thank you very much for your kind help.

作者: cthd007 时间: 2003-10-31 11:57
Way to go. You got your way already!

In this example, i really meant that the two ways are different though at first sight it looks like no difference. If you don't know how to distinguish between A and B (in this case, returns to "China that xxx, or, to China, a land that" rather than "to Chinese land that"), you probably stuck there and have to strugle with it. But, if you know it you can get the best answer right away. Not mention if you know both then.

Stick on OG's explanation, and practice what you learnt from OG. You'll be there soon.

过去分词不是可以表被动吗? 为什么这里要加being 呢? 而很多情况下, 如果加了BEING表被动,反而认为是错.

都快晕啦

作者: philikittist 时间: 2004-7-8 13:45
因为是“被免罪和被释放”所以要用被动，而before后面得加从句或名次，所以要用being得形式。

作者: wwwhahchn 时间: 2005-2-5 15:24

我覺得C的being多餘，before exonerated and freed不就可以暸嗎？與主語Alfred Dreyfus的被動關繫也沒錯啊？？

還有，B為什么不對啊？to be錶示將來，不是正好錶示暸exonerated and freed的動作髮生在imprisoned的動作之前嗎？我覺得如果要用before he was exonerated，前麵就應該改成Alfred Dreyfus had been imprisoned

不明白啊

懇請NN指點！！

同问。being done不是过去进行时的被动态吗？being表示ongoing的状态，我马上就排除了。总不能说正在被释放吧。

这题我也是错第二遍了,但仔细想想还是有线索可寻的:

B,我觉得主要的错误是意思的重复.EXONERATE WITH FREEDOM.这里,前者表示"无罪",后者名词形式表示了"自由",这两者之间隐含着ETS最痛恨之一的REDUNDANT;况且原文所要表达的意思是"释放",用FREE较好

至于,D,BEFORE加过去分词的形式固然好,可惜选项里没有另外,关于BEFORE BEING...我觉得这里关键是要把BEFORE理解为一个时间介词.

不知理解是否有道理,请各位大N继续指点

作者: ly365 时间: 2006-6-15 15:03
"befor he was exonerated with freedom " is better than original.

作者: 卡卡元 时间: 2007-1-8 07:51

After,before,since,on和in后不能直接跟过去分词，需要用“being+过去分词”
