标题: RW:GWD 9 -Q19

GWD-9-Q19:

In many nations, criminal law does not apply to corporations, but in the United Stated today, a corporation commits a crime whenever one of its employees commits a crime, if the employee acted within the scope of his or her authority and if the corporation benefited as a result.

a corporation commits a crime whenever one of its employees commits a crime, if the employee acted
a corporation is committing a crime whenever one of its employees committed a crime, if those employees were acting
corporations commit a crime whenever one of its employees does, on the condition that the employee acts
corporations commit crimes whenever an employee of those corporations commit a crime, if it was while acting
the corporation whose employees commit a crime, commits a crime, whenever the employee acted

这个题目彻底茫然，考点也没有看出来。。。。。

答案是A吧。

1，未划线部分有and，根据并列做：and前后平行对称，所以and前要有if引导的从句，CD错；

2，根据时态，排除BE

我选A

应该是平行结构

意思是说无论犯罪的人是否是在上级的命令下，或者公司是否获利，只要雇员犯罪，公司就是在犯罪。

同意楼上的解释。

另E的结构实在混乱，没看懂他想说什么。。。

有agreement

C .its 与corporations 不对应

B 是逻辑不对吧后面those employees 不对 ,前半句时态也不对

D it 不对..

E一看就是错的..

考点不止一个,一个个排除吧

有用排除法, A沒問題
可是a corporation commits....if the employee acted...
好像不對, 因為if是用過去tense, 那麼主句要用would commit才對...
no?

想问问有人能解释一下，为什么原句使用这样的时态呢？
为什么act是过去时？？？

Ron:
ugh. this is one of the most horrible official problems i've ever seen; the arbitrary transition from present tense to past tense (which happens in all five choices) is disgusting.

the biggest problems with (e):

* the modifier "whose employees commit a crime" is set off by only one comma. this is never acceptable; a modifier must be set off by either 2 commas or 0 commas (unless it begins or ends the entire sentence).

* unacceptable shift of meaning: the original context is that the corporation commits a crime if ONE of the employees commits a crime, but this sentence describes a crime committed by multiple employees

* another unacceptable shift of meaning: you can't change "if" to "whenever"

* "whenever" is not parallel to "...and if"
