标题: GWD-18-Q2

According to findings derived from functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the area of the brain in which a second or third language is stored depends on the age of the language learner; whereas each language occupies a distinct area of the brain in an adult learner, language areas overlap in a young child.

A. whereas each language occupies a distinct area of the brain in an adult learner,

B. whereas for adults each language occupies a distinct area of the brain and

C. each language occupies a distinct area of the brain when they are learned by an adult, while

D. each language in adults occupied a distinct area of the brain, while

E. each language occupying a distinct area of the brain for an adult learner, and

答案选A，我选了D，D为什么不对？另外想问一下whereas的用法，谢谢！

我的理解是这样，也不知道对不对~~

1。whereas是反之的意思，表转折，对比，是连词，跟句子

2。D中说language in adults，我觉得这个说法不恰当阿，language of adults 好些把，我觉得D改成 each language in adults' brains 就舒服多了……

个人意见，请NN指点

这句考的还是Parallerism，你看两句都是 .......in adult learner,......in a young child.

你看看这个时态是不是有问题

CDE非常快速排除，就是它们都是EACH独立主格，前面一定是逗号。绝不能是分号，分号后接句子。

作者: jervis 时间: 2008-9-25 15:45
each独立主格的用法是：复数名词，each+adj...

不同意仅仅通过EACH来排除，each后面接的是一个完整句子，单独作为一个句子看是没有任何问题的。

D 是时态问题

E是缺少谓语

C是平行结构不如A好，其实whereas放前句后句都没有问题，考点是句子结构和平行优先。

C应该是独立句子，不是独立主格。

A中whereas句子后，不需要加and嘛？

Where did you get this from? Are you able to give a few examples?

作者: xqiu008 时间: 2011-12-26 06:20
In my opinion, the answer should be A.

19. GWD-18-Q2
According to findings derived from functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the area of the brain in which a second or third language is stored depends on the age of the language learner; whereas each language occupies a distinct area of the brain in an adult learner, language areas overlap in a young child.

A.   whereas each language occupies a distinct area of the brain in an adult learner,
?   From MGMT SC: The author originally mean to contrast the second part of the sentence to the first part, you must preserve that intent. Therefore you should keep ‘whereas’.
?   Also ‘in an adult learner’ must be paralleled to ‘’in a young child’.
B.   whereas for adults each language occupies a distinct area of the brain and
-> The insertion of ‘for adults’ seems unnecessary.
C.   each language occupies a distinct area of the brain when they are learned by an adult, while
-> No ‘whereas’, incorrect.
D.   each language in adults occupied a distinct area of the brain, while
?   Occupies has been changed to occupied. But this sentence has no reason to use past tense.
?   Also, there is no ‘whereas’.
E.   each language occupying a distinct area of the brain for an adult learner, and
?   there is no ‘whereas’;

whereas 是连词，连2个句子，and多余

作者: Cynth1aC 时间: 2016-10-6 22:33
这道题出现在了付费的Prep中，正确答案是A。

whereas的用法：used to make a statement that describes how two people, groups, etc., are different
再看一些例句：
Some of these species have flourished, whereas others have struggled.
Whereas many people have supported the proposal, others have opposed it very strongly.
He has brown eyes whereas his children have green eyes.
看完这些例句，再看回选项A，是不是觉得A这个句子写的非常的优美，遵循了parallelism。（虽然whereas引导的句子并不一定要平行）

其余选项的错误分别是：
B.and连接的是两个independent clause, 而and的左边是whereas引导的dependent clause；for adults还可以错误的修饰“language areas overlap...”，变得illogical
C.when使用不当。it seems to suggest that "these languages" occupy distinct area when they are learned by an adult and not at other times !
D.in adults错误的修饰了each language,这是illogical的； occupied时态错误
E.独立主格，无法用and连接一个独立主格和一个independent clause； and也改变了原句中这种对比的意味
