标题: 大全537

Not all employment selection mechanisms that have a “disparate effect,” that is, that screens out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate to their presence in the relevant labor market, are unlawful.

(A) that is, that screens out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate to

(B) which means, that screens out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate with

(C) which means, that screen out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate with

(D) that is, that screen out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate to

(E) that is, that screens out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate with

答案是D,解释是
                

D is best.

that is就是which means的意思,只是作插入语,后者表达不对。that is 前后是两个that定语从句修饰主语employment selection mechanisms,谓语are unlawfulscreen out 筛选出

但是我觉得这个划线部分的从句应该是修饰effect 的,解释effect内容,否则,将that is去掉之后,就有两个that定语从句并列修饰mechanism而没有连接词。这样理解错了吗?

agree LZ's explanation.
可是disparate effect不能screen out a percentage of...
少了一個and在that is之前??

不是修饰effect的

Not all employment selection mechanisms 【that have a “disparate effect,” ( that is), that screen out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate to their presence in the relevant labor market,】 are unlawful.

两个并列的定从共同修饰mechanisms , 所以定从的谓语都是复数。

所以这里并没有漏and,因为thatis 已经承担了连词的角色

open to discuss

看了Garner's Modern American Usage, "that is" means "in other words".
書上說不能放句首, 可是沒有說how to use it...sigh...
可能跟dingxiang說的一樣...
anyway, 看到再post.

我觉得第二个that引导的应该是同位语从句吧,解释第一个that引导的定语从句

在longman contemporary里面有个例句:I loved him - that is, I thought I did. 由此可见 that is 本身具有连接词的功能
