标题: 《GMAT800揭秘》的SC一题 [打印本页] 作者: donna 时间: 2003-6-19 08:24 标题: 《GMAT800揭秘》的SC一题 For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment, a method to protect warriors against enemy arrows and spears. A a method to protect B as a method protecting C protecting D as a protection of E to protect
Why is the answer not E, but C? 作者: braveMBA 时间: 2003-6-19 12:38
OG上的解释 Choice C is best because the participle protecting begins a phrase that explains what the shields did. Choices A and B awkwardly use the singular word method to refer to items of military equipment rather than to the use of such items. Also, a method of protecting would be more idiomatic than a method to protect in A or a method protecting in B. In B and D, as is incorrect; also, a protection in D has no noun for which it can logically substitute. Choice E is incomplete; used to protect would have been acceptable. 感觉这里逗号后的成分不是表示目的，而是表示伴随状态。作者: donna 时间: 2003-6-19 14:21
