标题: T-4-Q4
Turning away from literary realism to write romantic stories about the
peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, in 1909 Selma Lagerlof
was the novelist who became the first woman and was also the first
Swedish writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

A.
Turning away from literary realism to write romantic stories about the
peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, in 1909 Selma Lagerlof
was the novelist who became the first woman and was also the first
Swedish writer to win
B.   She turned away from literary realism
and wrote romantic stories about the peasant life and landscape of
northern Sweden, and novelist Selma Lagerlof in 1909 became the first
woman as well as the first Swedish writer that won
C.   Selma
Lagerlof was a novelist who turned away from literary realism to write
romantic stories about the peasant life and landscape of northern
Sweden, and in 1909 she became the first woman in addition to the first
Swedish writer winning
D.   A novelist who turned away from
literary realism to write romantic stories about the peasant life and
landscape of northern Sweden, Selma Lagerlof became in 1909 the first
woman and also the first Swedish writer to win
E.   As novelist,
Selma Lagerlof turned away from literary realism and wrote romantic
stories about the peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, in
1909 becoming the first woman and also the first Swedish writer that won

I picked C because:
- "to win" is wrong, so I eliminate A and D.
- "writer that won" is wrong too because "that" cannot refer to a person, so I eliminate B and E.

Anyone knows why "to win" is correct?

Thanks in advance.

c has a flaw in the sentence

she became the first woman in addition to the first Swedish writer winning
in addition to means along with

the two parts should be parallel

in addition to distort the meaning of the sencentence

i never heard a rule saying "to win" is wrong

作者: AlienX 时间: 2008-2-18 16:00

i thought that 'the first woman' was parallel to "the first Swedish".

also, I thought that 'to+verb' modifies the main verb in the preceding clause; in this case, "to win" modifies "became" - doesn't make much sense to me =(

also, 'verb-ing" right behind a noun usually modifies that noun; so C seems more approipate to me .

do I misunderstand???

thanks in advance.

A 中的第二个was显得wordy

作者: rockmax 时间: 2008-10-5 12:02

E. As novelist, Selma Lagerlof turned away from literary realism and wrote romantic stories about the peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, in 1909 becoming the first woman and also the first Swedish write that won

E为什么不对?

作者: AlienX 时间: 2008-10-5 12:32
E的write少了一個r, 剛補上去....
that不能指代一個人

作者: AlienX 时间: 2008-11-1 09:10
umm...還是沒看到C有什麼問題...

作者: aeoluseros 时间: 2008-11-1 10:13

who, whom只能指人，不可指物（如language，要用which指代）； which只能指物，不可指人
that可以指人和物，但不可指人的所有格，要用whose, whose可以指人也可以指物
...
貌似跟alienX兄说的有点出入...

umm...原文在这里

---
除了并列的问题，关于to win和winning...
我觉得ing短语是一种限定...
而不定式短语是一种主谓关系...
所以这里应该是主谓关系更加恰当
---
总觉得D的时间状语位置很不好，但是貌似毛病没C的大...OG里有说过把主谓拆开不好，语法书里面也说时间状从应该放句首或句尾。
anyway, 好是不好，但没说过不可以...没有像to do中间插东西一样是一个arbitrary rule...

um...貌似排版很成问题

补充一下：我觉得ing短语跟E的that引导定语从句犯的错误是一样的...都成了限定关系...

open to discussion

umm...thanks for posting the source.
that可以指代人嗎? 可以給個OG/Prep/GWD/grammar book上的例句嗎?
umm...C中的"the first woman" 跟 "the first Swedish writer" 的並列有什麼問題呢? 看不出 =(

作者: aeoluseros 时间: 2008-11-11 17:26

umm...或许得修改下那句总结了，我也不知道哪里看来得..

不过OG11-130里面确实指出来that不能够只能，要用who.

130.
As a result of medical advances, many people that might at one time have died as children of such infections as diphtheria, pneumonia, or rheumatic fever now live well into old age.

(A) that might at one time have died as children

(B) who might once have died in childhood

(D) who in childhood might have at one time died

(E) who, when they were children, might at one time have died

Parallelism + Agreement

The sentence has one error in pronoun usage and two errors in parallelism. The pronoun who, rather than that, should be used to refer to people.

Once, not the ambiguous and wordy at one time, is parallel to the adverb now, and in childhood, not as children, is parallel to into old age. Parallel structure involves not only how parallel elements are formed but also where they are placed in the sentence: here adverbs (once and now) should be placed first, followed by verbs (have died and five), and then by prepositional phrases (in childhood and into old age).

A Who should replace that; once should replace at one time, in childhood should replace as children

B Correct. This sentence correctly uses who to refer to people, parallel structures are maintained by using once to parallel now and in childhood to parallel into old age.

C Who should replace that, in childhood should replace as children and should be placed after died to be parallel in position to into old age

D Once should replace at one time, the parallel elements should appear in parallel positions

E When they were children is awkward and not parallel to into old age in wording or placement; once should replace at one time

作者: aeoluseros 时间: 2008-11-11 17:33

恩，语法书上查了，that是可以指代人，不过多半使用who,whom.

看来还是依照OG的了。

Turning away from literary realism to write romantic stories about the peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, in 1909 Selma Lagerlof was the novelist who became the first woman and was also the first Swedish writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

A.   Turning away from literary realism to write romantic stories about the peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, in 1909 Selma Lagerlof was the novelist who became the first woman and was also the first Swedish writer to win
B.   She turned away from literary realism and wrote romantic stories about the peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, and novelist Selma Lagerlof in 1909 became the first woman as well as the first Swedish writer that won(1.形容词序数词以及最高级后面要用to do 2.gmat里定语从句修饰人只能用who、whom作关系代词)

C.   Selma Lagerlof was a novelist who turned away from literary realism to write romantic stories about the peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, and in 1909 she became the first woman in addition to the first Swedish writer winning(形容词序数词以及最高级后面要用to do)
D.   A novelist who turned away from literary realism to write romantic stories about the peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, Selma Lagerlof became in 1909 the first woman and also the first Swedish writer to win（相对a，感觉这个比较有效）
E.   As novelist, Selma Lagerlof turned away from literary realism and wrote romantic stories about the peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, in 1909 becoming the first woman and also the first Swedish writer that won gmat里定语从句修饰人只能用who、whom作关系代词

作者: aeoluseros 时间: 2008-11-15 10:27

ao...that指人是语法书里说的，不过这几天review时我发现，prep和OG11里面好几个例子了不接受that能够指人。

the first woman和the first Swedish writer应该是并列的，就跟concrete和glass一样是平等的两样东西，所以最好用and，而不是用as well as, A as well as B里面，B只是附加的，谓语动词是由A决定的(prep里面有一题如此，BY里面也有提到)。anyway...我想这不能算是什么大毛病吧..

作者: kuaidao 时间: 2008-12-18 13:22

请斑竹&NNS解释下：

1.最高级后面用to do? 为啥子呢？

2.what / ing构成限定关系?

3.A中的D2个was是不是很好，可读起来也还算紧凑啊，总比下面的来得爽快啊。

A novelist who turned away from literary realism to write romantic stories about the peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, Selma Lagerlof became in 1909
the first woman and also the first Swedish writer to win

1、这是语法规则

2、what不能构成限定关系啊?是指that/ing吗？

3、关于D里面in 1909位置不好的问题：
这题，我们不能简单的套用OG的规则。变化中寻求规律才是根本
Selma Lagerlof became in 1909 the first woman and also the first Swedish writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.
按理说，in 1909应该放在句末，作为became的状语，但是如果放在句末，会产生 Nobel prize for literature in 1909的修饰错误。此外， became the first woman and the first... 宾语非常的长，所以后置，结构非常优美。
所以，本题可以合理的把in 1909 前置，而不会产生awarkward的感觉。
状语的位置也并没有绝对的原则，只是有一个优先级别而已。

这里and also很碍眼,第一次看到and also成为正确选项的。

要怎么理解呢？

turned away from literary realism to write romatic stories只是把2個idioms混在一起...不是考點...

对于A

有战友说：

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
白勇的GMAT语法上面说，平行结构里面如果出现了be动词和become，是需要省略的
-- by 会员 wg5702zy (2010/10/15 13:20:40)
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

我觉得：
A的was是否会导致 novelist 和 also the first Swedish平行？
或者，导致also the first Swedish可以和novelist或者和first woman平行？导致歧义？

请讨论。。。

A会造成歧义在于 was the novelist 和was also the first Swedish writer 平行也会造成became the first woman 和was also the first Swedish writer 平行。

但是我不觉得这样影响什么。还是不懂A怎么不好了？
