标题: [求助]大全113(og253)

253.
Analysts blamed May’s sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather, colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture.

(A) colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed

(B) which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions, slowing

(D) being colder and wetter than usually in some regions, slowing（B）

(E) having been colder and wetter than was usual in some regions and slowed

Choice B is the best answer. It is concise and idiomatic, and which has a clear referent, the weather. In A, the insertion of was is unnecessary, and the referent of which is not clear because regions, not weather, is the nearest noun. In C, the adjective usual is needed in place of the adverb usually, and the referent of which is unclear because regions, not weather, is the nearest noun. In D and E, the verb phrases (being colder..., having been colder...) do not refer as clearly to the noun weather as the pronoun which does. Choice D needs the adjective usual in place of the adverb usually, while choice E fails to maintain parallelism in verb tense (having been... and slowed).

DE没有问题，但是Ａ我做的时候是这样想的：主句．．．the weather（，插入成分，）which..... 这样ｗｈｉｃｈ就可以直接修饰ｗｅａｔｈｅｒ也没有歧义了．不是一般插入成分都可以忽略不看的么？

还有就是Ｂ的，ｓｌｏｗｉｎｇ作伴随状语没有问题，是修饰Analysts blamed May’s sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather还是which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions？？？

之前的讨论贴已经搜过了，对此类的回答还是没有定论。望NN能解答~~谢谢先

A：which是就近指代，所以指代regions有问题；

二如果插入成分不看的话，句子就成为

Analysts blamed May’s sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather which slowed sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture.

这样which虽然紧靠修饰对象weather，但是前面少了逗号，在GMAT中不允许，只能用that

B：修饰Analysts blamed May’s sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather

而且，我感觉更从句子意思理解，更像只修饰weather

A,明白了

B,还有疑惑.觉得不是修饰weather的，应该是伴随，但不知道伴随那个分句，伴随动作还是伴随结果？

请NN指点

伴随was? weather, which was ..., slowing...

UP!!!

伴随说不通吧

难道是“分析家责怪......”这件事减缓了销售？

我觉得好像，只要是句后的doing不是修饰之前的名词，好像就不能算是错的选项，我碰到很多都是像这样的题了，就是doing在最后，无论是修饰整个句子，还是之前的主语都不能算错

就算是做LZ所说的插入语也不能不管插入语的语法是否对错啊 A选项里面多的这一个WAS确实把这个比较结构弄得不平行了
