标题: 请教og11-32,看og的解释如入云雾

请问下面加红色的字体,是什么意思?

无法看懂,it为何要跟inflation平行呢?

32.      The Commerce Department announced that the economy grew during the second quarter at a 7.5 percent annual rate, while inflation eased when it
    might have been expected for it to rise.

A it might have been expected for it to rise

B it might have been expected to rise

C it might have been expected that it should rise

D its rise might have been expected

E there might have been an expectation it would rise

Idiom

The correct idiomatic expression is
    x is
expected to y. In this sentence, the construction must remain idiomatic even when a different tense is used: might have been expected to rise.

A For it to rise does not complete the idiomatic expression correctly

B Correct. In this sentence, to rise completes the idiom correctly.

C That it should rise does not complete the idiomatic expression correctly

D         Its rise is not parallel to inflation
     
and
introduces an awkward clause

E       This construction is unnecessarily wordy

The correct answer is B.

答案是B,但是你选项的内容打错了啊~~

红线的意思:"its rise"就是指代前面的economy grew

题目中有“while"表示对比,所以啊,要平行的~!就是说A怎么样,同时B怎样了……

 

个人理解

不好意思,我重新输入了。

我承认D是错的,但是单独把句子提炼出来

inflation eased when its rise might have been expected

我看不出来需要平行的地方在哪里?

如果说its的主格可能使用的不对,改换成the rise of it,我还可以理解,但是og的解释说its rise应该跟inflation平行。。。

刚刚看了下OG,觉得这道题考得不是平行吧,上面写的是IDIOM

有点迷糊啊~抱歉了LZ

OG10's explanation:

    

In
English, x [is] expected to y is idiomatic usage: expected for it to
in choice A and expected that it should in choice C are thus
unidiomatic. Choice D awkwardly substitutes its rise for the pronoun it
as the subject of might have been expected; since it refers to inflation,
the subject of the verb eased, it is preferable as the subject of might
have been expected,
the verb form corresponding to eased. Choice E
is needlessly wordy, roundabout, and vague. Choice B is best.



所以D是okay, 只是沒有B好.  OG的意思是, 從句的主語最好是跟主句主語一樣...好像不是常見的考點...

谢谢,很清楚

正確選項中,被期待的對象是 inflation ( it 指代),原本被期待的結果則是 to rise,

但實際上現在 inflation 是 ease了。

如果是D選項,變成被期待的對象是 "inflation的rise (its rise)",

 (那有沒有可能被期待的對象也可以是 inflation的ease呢?)

因此 改變了 "語氣"上的主語 (而非 it 指代的主語),

所以OG解釋才會說它沒有跟  inflation平行,主要是從語意邏輯上來看的。

特指(its rise)不与泛指(inflation)并列~~~
