标题: OG-8题,请指教
8. Lacking information about energy use, people tend to overestimate the amount of energy used by equipment. such as lights, that are visible and must be turned on and off and underestimate that used by unobtrusive equipment, such as water heaters.
(A)    equipment, such as lights, that are visible and must be turned on and off and underestimate that
(B)    equipment, such as lights, that are visible and must be turned on and off and underestimate it when
(C)    equipment, such as lights, that is visible and must be turned on and off and underestimate it when
(D)    visible equipment, such as lights, that must be turned on and off and underestimate that
(E)    visible equipment, such as lights, that must be turned on and off and underestimate it when


在超级菜鸟SC手册中,有如下解释:Choices A and B incorrectly use the plural verb are with the singular noun equipment.(that are是限定定语从句,不可能修饰lights的,只能修饰equipment, such as lights 是插入语-托福语法)

请问为什么that限定性定语从句,不能修饰 lights?

谢谢!

MM这样问真是误道呀。她说的意思是,在这条题目的情况下 (因为 such as lights 是插入语),that 修饰的是前面的 equipment, 而不是lights.  

呵呵。

不好意思,再问两个很笨笨的问题:
1、插入语是否与主句之间没有语法联系?
2、插入语与非限定性定语从句的作用类似,即使去掉了,对主句意思没有任何影响,是吗?

谢谢!

这很难回答!
一般来说,插入语是作同位解释用的。补充解释前面表达的名词或句意概念。确实可有可无。
但GMAT RC 中有许多句子经过复杂的省略倒装转换后,会看不太出来。
而GMAT SC 则还好。没印象有这样的问题。
大家觉得呢?
