今天第一天看长难句，搞不定啊搞不定啊1、That sex ratio
will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the
number of gene copies transmitted.
看杨鹏里面的解释说是倒装，will be favored的应该是the number of gene copies，那么还原之后第一个逗号前那个是个啥啊？就一个主语？然后那个and是个什么情况啊，不是说对称两边形式对等么。。。
这个求详细解答啊诸位大大
That sex ratio will be favoredok, which "sex ratio"?which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will haveok, I see, the sex ratio that produces the MAX(# of descendants)and hence the number of gene copies transmittedok, I see. So the sex ratio that produces (1) MAX (# of descendants)and (2) MAX (# of gene copies transmitted)And I know that (1) is the reason for (2) - that's why the author uses the word "hence"2、Virginia Woolf's provocative statement about her intention in writing Mrs.Dalloway has regularly been ignored by the critics, since it highlights an aspect of her literary interests very different from the traditional picture of the "poetic" novelist concerned
with examining states of reverie and vision and
with following the intricate pathways of individual consciousness.
那个黄底的with能去掉么？去掉就是following 和examining 并列了哇，加了个with不是一样的么？？？
"with" is an anchoring word. When we read "and with", we look back and find the first "with". This is a good trick in writing English, because when your readers encounter the anchoring word (here "with"), they will go back and precisely locate the word in the preceding part, and thus understand the parallel structure. 顺便问下OG里面的一个语法题目
A study commissioned by the Department of Agriculture showed that if calves exercise and
associated with other calves, they will requires less medication and gain weight quicker than do those raised in confinement.
正确选项：
associate with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight more quickly than
难道这里最后的助动词不用补出的么？不补出不就成了小牛的特性和小牛进行比较么？
"不补出不就成了小牛的特性和小牛进行比较么" This comparison is illogical. Here is the basics of ambiguity: If and only if there are more than one grammatically & logically satisfied interpretations, there is an ambiguity. Here, your interpretation "小牛的特性和小牛进行比较" is illogical and thus not qualified. 求解答！啊啊啊
