OG13的第15题,Many experts regarded the large increase in credit
card borrowing in March not as a sign that households
were pressed for cash and forced to borrow, (rather a
sign of confidence bv households that thev could
safely )handle new debt.
(A) rather a sign of confidence by households that
they could safely
(B) yet as a sign of households' confidence that it
was safe for them to
(C) but a sign of confidence by households that they
could safely
(D) but as a sign that households were confident
they could safely
(E) but also as a sign that households were
confident in their ability safely to
对OG中的解释有几个疑问:
1)A:OG中说"that they could safely handle new debt "after "households" could cause confusion,会引起什么歧义?
2)B:OG中说“it was safe for them[households] to handle new debt"change the intended meaning, making the households less clearly an agent in the handling,到底改变了它的什么意思?为什么households不再清楚地是handling的主语?即便不清楚为什么就不好?
3)B:OG中说:the affirmed clause is incorrectedly introduced by "yet as”,“yet”一定要引导否定句吗?
呼叫NN们解答~~~

第二个问题我还是不太懂:作为正确答案的D选项中,我分析之后应该是“夹心修饰”,即that they could safely handle new debt既做了 a sign 的修饰语(这里即同位语),又做了households were confident 的宾语从句,那么a sign 的内容应该就是they could safely handle new debt,这和it was safe for them to handle new debt有什么差别吗?
