标题: 求NN指点啊,OG12-43,还是指代问题。在线等
43. Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.(A) about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many
(B) of about the same size as Great Britain is, but in Laos there is a population of only four million, and many
(C) that is about the same size as Great Britain’s land area, but in Laos with a population of only four million people, many of them
(D) comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only four million in population, and many
(E) comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people, many of whom

题目选出答案是没有问题的,答案是e。
可是C选项中的them,og给的解释是指代不清。Th e reference of them is unclear and the expression is generally awkward

我的看法是:them前面只有一个复数名词people(单复数同型),逻辑上也是指代的people,为什么会指代不清啊?

求NN来指点迷津啊~

没明白啊,them可以指代后面的词么?

MM 这个说法可能不对哈
sorry 我再想想OG的那个解释
作者: AmyGMAT    时间: 2010-5-8 12:01
MM我想可能是这样的。
首先C的错误时run-on
第二就是在C里面因为many of them are 是一个新的独立的句子,这句话里的主语是them,因此them应该指向上一句话的主语,但是上一句话的主语是laos是个地方,单数,所以them无指代
至于你说的them指代people的问题,因为many of them引导的是一个独立的句子,因此them作为主语应当优先指向前句话的主语,而不是people

同问, 为啥c 选项的many of them 就指代不清,E 选项 MANY OF WHOM 就清楚指代了people?  有没有NN可以讲解一下代词指代和关系代词指代的用法的差异(在这题应运)。 thxthx

C选项不是run-on错误,but in Laos (with a population of only four million in population),many of them...but连接得不是好好的么
them的指代问题期待牛牛解答

Sentence Structure, Lao has X but Y, so X and Y must be made paralleled.

C) "Lao has (a land area blah blah blah), but (has) in Laos with a pop. blah blah"  Both elements are not paralleled to each other; incorrect.

many of whom 是就近指代

至于them的指代问题,这里面应该是指代后面的member或者tribes,所以指代不清,不能指代前面的people,因为它只是状语的一部分
