The attorney turned down the law firm’s offer of a position because she suspected that it was meant merely to fill an affirmative action quota with no commitment to minority hiring and eventually promoting.
(A) quota with no commitment to minority hiring and eventually promoting
(B) quota, having no commitment to minority hiring and eventually promoting
(C) quota and did not reflect a commitment to minority hiring and eventual promotion
(D) quota, not reflecting a commitment to minority hiring and eventual promotion
(E) quota, not one that reflected that minority hiring and eventual promotion was a commitment
本题答案C
我认为应当是D,原句中“with no commitment to minority hiring and eventually promoting”是状语成分,属于句子的枝干。答案C将其改成并列主干是不合适的。而答案D是现在分词作状语,表达了伴随的结果,是十分好的结构。

1.原句既然划线就是可能存在问题的;如果确实有问题的话,不论从语义还是从结构都是可以变动的。 2.D的表达没有C的清楚啊,", not reflecting"到底修饰谁?会引起奇异的作者: genimix 时间: 2009-11-23 21:57
不能同意沙发的说法,无论怎样修改,在可能的情况下应尽量保留原文含义。且not reflecting a commitment to minority hiring and eventual promotion作状语,其逻辑主语该句子主语it,该状语修饰谓语“was meant merely to fill ”,表伴随结果,十分合理。作者: yhwut 时间: 2009-11-24 00:48
分词做伴随状语是前面整句的影响,而这里明显是对从句的影响(要是对主句的影响可能还勉强),所以不行。 而用and表示承接关系就没问题作者: genimix 时间: 2009-11-24 01:21
yhwut的意见有一定道理,谢谢!
