标题: OG163

163. Found throughout Central and South America, sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs and sleep fifteen hours a day, moving infrequently enough that two species of algae grow on its coat and between its toes.

(D) the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery limbs, sleeping fifteen hours a day and moving so infrequently（D）

D, the best choice, correctly subordinates sleeping and moving to hangs

E wrongly coordinates hangs and sleeps and violates parallelism by inserting it before moves to create a new independent clause

My question is why "hangs ... sleeps...." wrongly coordinate?

besides, does "sleeping fifteen hours a day and moving so infrequently that two species of algae grow on its coat and between its toes." modify "the sloth"?

Thanks for help!!!!

(A) sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs and sleep fifteen hours a day, moving infrequently enough

(B) sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs, they sleep fifteen hours a day, and with such infrequent movements

(D) the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery limbs, sleeping fifteen hours a day and moving so infrequently（D）

(E) the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery limbs, sleeps fifteen hours a day, and it moves infrequently enough

其實你貼的OG注釋己經講的很清楚了，E選項半路插入it，嚴重破壞平衡並列的基本原則，至於D則是省略and改分詞的用法，原句是and sleeps，就改為sleeping, 你說的也沒錯，sleeping和moving都是修飾sloths...

为什么sleep 和 move 就应该是从属的动作呢？我觉得hang sleep move 应该是三个并列的动作阿

D, the best choice, correctly subordinates sleeping and moving to hangs while
using the idiomatically correct phrasing so (infrequently)
that.... The pronoun its
shows clearly that the limbs belong
to the sloth, not the trees (单复数解决代词指代歧义的问题).

菜鸟手册上这句话我没看懂，
            The pronoun its
shows clearly that the limbs belong
to the sloth, not the trees OG想说什么？？？

不知道你想说什么

B sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs

D the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery limbs

加its的话by long rubbery limbs 的逻辑主语明确指代单数sloth

the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery limbs

是说这个its肯定是指单数,而不是复数

只能指代sloth,而不能指代trees

我估计不是说的是这一题,他是说的可以用这种方法解决这一类问题

以下是引用allen0018在2006-8-13 18:09:00的发言：

参见longman limb至少有两个意思

1.an arm or leg

2。a large branch of a tree

所以出现这个问题：到底这里的limb应该属于谁呢？（sloth or trees)可以通过its来判断，

其实这种判断方法挺没有意思的，但它是非常ETS的，所以我们应该掌握。

我的理解是题干最后非划线部分的修饰语“that two species of algae grow on its coat and between its toes”提示我们sloth 用单数，自然应该是the limbs belong to the sloth, not the trees 。 感谢指正！

谢谢大家，我觉得这道题，作者可能在说，如果用了their ，呵呵，就犯了指代不清
