标题: GWD25-Q5

GWD25-Q5.

For many revisionist historians, Christopher Columbus has come to
                    
personify devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that
                        
has decimated native
                        
peoples of the Western Hemisphere.

A.      devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere

B.       devastation and enslavement in the name of progress by
                    
which native peoples of the Western Hemisphere
                    
decimated

C.      devastating and enslaving in the name of progress those native
                    
peoples of the Western Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.

D.      devastating and enslaving those native peoples of the western
                    
Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.

E.       the devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that
                    
have decimated the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere.

A还是B


作者: corajia    时间: 2008-4-9 20:19

A吧,我觉得。

by
        
which native peoples of the Western Hemisphere (were) decimated


作者: pharmacystar    时间: 2008-4-9 20:21

ls你指的是B吧?


作者: corajia    时间: 2008-4-9 22:44

不是,是A,

B的话省略了WERE, BY WHICH引导应该是个非限制性定语从句,应该有谓语动词吧

答案是B吗


作者: eSpirit    时间: 2008-4-10 11:19
应该是A,that指代progress。而B中用了by progress,这种用法是没有的. 且应该是用被动结构,不能少形式谓语were.
作者: ivyqxx    时间: 2008-4-10 12:04

这道题我也错了,我选了b,后来看下应该选a,devastation and enslavement 应该是一个整体,谓语用单数;

而且b中的by progrss也不对,这些人被decimated, 不应该是by progrss

不同意你对A选项的解释,devastation and enslavement 无论是不是整体都应该用复数形式

A中用了has这个单数形式说明that指代progress

不过这道题我选了E,我认为that指代devastation and enslavement 更符合逻辑,所以应该用that have的形式

可是E加了定冠词the, 感觉是把devastation和enslavement看成一体了,这样的话动词应该用单数型。拙见

我觉得还是站在E这边,我们看原题中

For many revisionist historians, Christopher Columbus has come to
        
personify devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that
            
has decimated native
            
peoples of the Western Hemisphere.   E

A.      devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere

B.       devastation and enslavement in the name of progress by
        
which native peoples of the Western Hemisphere
            
decimated

C.      devastating and enslaving in the name of progress those native
        
peoples of the Western Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.

D.      devastating and enslaving those native peoples of the western
        
Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.

E.       the devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that
        
have decimated the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere.

如果想上面的同学讲的把devastation and enslavement 看成一个整体,那么定语从句由于其中的单数谓语动词has则有可能修饰devastation and enslavement 或者 progress ,这样本身就已经造成了不concise(只一点是GMAT  SC的总纲)
    

另外,我记得好像是在熏衣紫草大牛的一片总结中看到过,确定定语从句的修饰对象依靠单复数和依靠逻辑意思是最主要的两种方法,而这里显然从逻辑意思上来讲E应该是更符合逻辑意思的
    

请大家指正

1、the devastation and enslavements是一个整体,后面是process不是processes。肯定用 单数 Verb。
2、没有必要的时候,不要 乱用 discontinuous modifier。
3、that修饰
the devastation and enslavements, 极为awkward, 重复的一塌糊涂。

在这道题中CD项的 those 有么有指代不清的错误啊? 是不是that及those都是在前面出现过某代词后,才能出现?

顺便请教一下these与those的使用区别
作者: tll880905    时间: 2010-4-7 12:25
同意 我也觉得是E 从逻辑上说 devastation and enslavement 才应该是decimate的主语

What I found in the forum of beat the gmat. Hope it will help.
BTW, the following words from the Manhattan GMAT and VeritasPrep
Vice President

-------------------------
NO. The "progress" did not do the decimating, the "devastion and enslavement" did.

Here is my 2-cents for whatever it is worth.

A. Wrong specifically because of subject-verb agreement. Also, I don't like the omission of the article "the" when refering to the "devastation..". IMO, Columbus personifies a particular period of incidents of devastation, not devastation and enslavement in general.

B. Wrong because it implies that the native people did the devastating.

C. Wordy and awkward. Also, IMO, the use of the gerund connotes that the devastation is ongoing or recent.

D. Same reason as C.

E. IMO, this is the best choice. First, it has good s-v agreement. (the Bread and butter argument is not relevant because item that are considered to be one entity are treated as singular ("bread and butter IS preferable to bacon and eggs for some dieters, though the latter IS surely more popular", "ham and eggs WAS his choice for breakfast", "black and white IS the favorite color scheme of Soho yuppies". This does NOT apply to "devastation and enslavement", e.g., "the devastion and enslavement were widespread" BTW, while "bread and butter is my breakfast" sounds awkward, "bread and butter are my breakfast" sounds worse. Of course, please take this with a grain of salt as my bread and butter IS not SC.

Finally, since Columbus personifies a particular devastion and enslavement, I think the use of the definite article "the" is appropriate if not mandatory here.

所以选E! 花我好多时间的说
作者: laurawinter    时间: 2011-8-20 19:10
我也同意选E,逻辑上the devastation and enslavement才能decimate, progress 怎么decimate....A奇奇怪怪的 老外把E解释得很清楚
作者: shallowshade    时间: 2011-9-19 16:04
看了老外的解释还是觉得坚定自己选E是正确的,这里至少明确几点:1.and连接的两个名词作主语时究竟是视为单数还是复数,要看主语在整个句子中的应用和具体语境:就像老外举得例子,bread and butter IS my favorite breakfast。这里用is是因为这里的bread and butter是被作为一个整体来吃的,谁也不会只吃bread or butter,所以可以视为整体;但是devastation and enslavement就不同了,他们中的任何一个都可以decimated native people,不一定要合起来才会发生作用啊,所以应该是独立的统一体,不能被视作整体。2.that 引导的定语从句是可以跨过中间的插入成分去修饰之前的先行词的,思来想去,这里还是devastation and enslavement decimated 更合理。3.定冠词the的使用,这里我也同意老外的说法,columbus不是personify the devastation and enslavement in general,而是只personify了某一时期的,这里不加the更显得不合适。
以上总结纯属个人观点,还请NN指点!

同意。从逻辑意思上还是E好一些。
作者: tzhou7    时间: 2013-2-20 23:24
两个问题关于E选项
1.“devastation and enslavement”多余的the是否可以作为排除点?
(个人觉得不能算)
2.in the name of process必须紧跟devastation and enslavement,所以that做跳跃修饰一点问题都没有,manhattan上也说“mission-critical”的修饰。不过我愚蠢的问题是that是可以修饰一起“devastation and enslavement”嘛?我怎么感觉是我SC的空白点。。。。

本来很坚定的选了A,因为考试时间紧,E直接没看了说。
看了NN们的解释,我觉得还是选E,看来要加快做题速度,每个选项都要看啊
