A will be Ok if it does not contain "the"

tense doesn't agree with "has" in A

二楼:

有没有the,有什么区别啊?

三楼:

正确答案C,也是一样的时态

请指教

为什么Prep笔记中说,A选项中,the other结构不完整 ?细读了一下,只是感觉意思上稍有些不对。因为在先前认为的不可能中怎么就把smallpox给排除了呢。

还望NN指点。多谢。

我也认为是the other不正确,other与the连用,后面如果跟单复名词,意思表示的是两个中的“另一个”;如果后面跟复数名词,则表示“其余所有的”,这个意思在这里显然不通。即使把the去掉,也不太好,从逻辑意思上看。

一家之言。

C 的sth后面不用加that引导吗?

THAT修饰的词为从句的宾语时,可省略
作者: s7s7    时间: 2007-6-9 16:15
这题主要问题是:尽量避免使用名词性从句,名词性从句如果能够用一个名词替代上善之选。

E: the possibility of what 用法不对-----为什么不对?

a中的 such ...like 觉得也不对 like不可以用来举例的

 今天无意又看到这题,看看以前的理解真是。。唉。。不提了

现在的想法是这样的

12. The success of the program to eradicate smallpox has stimulated experts to
pursue what they had not previously considered possible -- better control, if not eradication, of the other infections such as measles and yaws.

A. what they had not previously considered possible -- better control, if not eradication, of the other infections such as ,这里the other infection 或者 other infections才对由于后面是measles和yaws,所以the不对,one... the other....这里,theother的使用有问题

B. what they had not previously considered a possibility -- better control, if not
eradication, of such infections like 这里such as,like不能做举例

C. something they had not previously considered possible -- better control, if not
eradication, of such infections as

D. something not considered a previous possibility -- better control and perhaps
eradication, of other infections such as 这里possiblility的使用错误,something considered a previous possiblity,应改为something someone consider possible,of的修饰对象不存在了

E. the possibility of what they had not previously considered possible -- better
control and possibly eradication of infections like这里possiblity和possible重复意思,like不能做举例,of应该跟在control后

标题: Mahattan GMAT 上面看到的神回答,一下就懂了,太佩服那个叫Ron的了!
There are 2 problems with A.
- Major problem is "THE other infections." THE is too definitive here, carrying the connotation of "every single one of the other infections."
* THE is also incompatible with "such as":
- Correct: I never read this book, but I read the other books on the shelf.
- Correct: I never read this book, but I read other books on the shelf, such as "Right Hand, Left Hand" and "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich."
- Incorrect: I never read this book, but I read the other books on the shelf, such as "Right Hand, Left Hand" and "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich."
- Minor problem is "what they had not..." vs. "something they had not..." The "what" construction is awfully strong, suggesting that this was THE ONE THING they hadn't thought possible.
* As an analogy, compare the meanings of "I want to do what I love for a living" and "I want to do something I love for a living." The first suggests that the speaker has one particular field in mind; the second doesn't.
