标题: 求助语法题一道

27. GWD21-Q27:

The electronics company has unveiled what it claims to be the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs less than 11 ounces.

A. to be the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs

B. to be the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, weighing

C. is the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, and it weighs

D. is the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, which is as long as a handheld computer and weighs

E. is the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, weighing

惭愧，上来就排掉CDE，结果答案是D

这道题以前做过，也觉得答案是B来着，感觉claim to be 很合理啊

求牛牛解惑

这个句子是从句套从句，先分析一下语法结构：

The electronics company （主）has unveiled （谓）what it claims ....（宾）

所以在这里 what it claims 是宾语从句里的主语部分，后面要补上相应的谓语宾语。

选B的话句式就混乱了，不信你把B套进去分析一下结构，是分析不清楚的。

当然claim to be sth这个用法是有的：

claim to do/be something

e.g.

No responsible therapist will claim to cure your insomnia.

I
don't claim to be
a feminist, but I'd like to see more women in top jobs.

但是这句话里不符合语法结构，所以不选。

而且就算不看前面的部分，what it claims to be 我觉得也是不对的用法。通常it 做形式宾语的话应该是it is claimed that...
