Although appearing less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year-they are often green and striped, or have plenty of bumps and bruises-heirlooms are more flavorful and thus in increasing demand.
(A) Although appearing less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year
(B) Although heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year, appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins
(C) Although they appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year
(D) Grown from seeds saved during the previous year, heirloom tomatoes appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins
(E) Heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year, although they appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins
这道题答案是选对了,是B,但是同样对OG的解释不清楚,og有这样一句解释是说the placement of heirloom tomatoes and heirlooms makes the sentence ungrmmatical.而且A选项的解释:If heirloom tomatoes is the subject of are more flavorful...then heirlooms has no predicate and is nonsensically superfluous. If heirlooms is the subject, heirloom tomatoes has no predicate.为什么要假设heirloom tomatoes是are more flavorful的主语?文中没有划线的部分不是已经是heirlooms作了主语吗?求解释,不明呀~~~

我觉得OG的意思是说,A选项,如果这样写的话简而言之就是:although appearing..., H tomo ,grown..., -...-, H are more flavorable.显然,H tomato是只有一堆modifier没有谓语的,因为are flavorable是heriloom的谓语。所以OG假设,如果H to是主语的话,H就多出来了,H 是主语的话,H to就没有谓语。
OG是想清晰的解释,后面的Heirloom是多出来的,因为这样Heirloom tomato就没有谓语了。作者: lainemai 时间: 2014-9-26 14:38
