214. Although the term "psychopath" is popularly applied to an especially brutal criminal, in psychology it is someone who is apparently incapable of feeling compassion or the pangs of conscience.
(A) it is someone who is
(B) it is a person
(C) they are people who are
(D) it refers to someone who is
(E) it is in reference to people
In choices A and B, the pronoun it simultaneously refers forward to someone (or a person) and backward to the term "psychopath" As a result, the sentence asserts illogically that the term is actually a kind of person rather than a word referring to a kind of person. Choice C repeats this fault and adds an error in agreement: they (plural) does not agree in number with the term (singular). E omits a main verb, such as applied, that, in grammatical context here, is required after is. Also, the word people incorrectly shifts number from singular to plural. In choice D, the best answer, the verb refers is correctly used after it, and the alignment of pronouns and antecedents is both logical and grammatical.
从这道题正解D来看,是不是语法上从句用被动时,主句可以改为主动时?
谢谢指点
谢谢斑竹mm, 今天复习到OG248
248. By offering lower prices and a menu of personal communications options, such as caller identification and voice mail, the new telecommunications company has not only captured customers from other phone companies but also forced them to offer competitive prices.
(A) has not only captured customers from other phone companies but also forced them
(B) has not only captured customers from other phone companies, but it also forced them
(C) has not only captured customers from other phone companies but also forced these companies
(D) not only has captured customers from other phone companies but also these companies have been forced
(E) not only captured customers from other phone companies, but it also has forced them
C, the best choice, correctly uses the parallel construction has not only x 'd but also y 'd and avoids ambiguity of reference by using these companies rather than them. In A, B, and E, the referent of the pronoun them is ambiguous; because them appears to be parallel to customers, the illogical suggestion is that the new telecommunications company has forced customers to offer competitive prices. Choices B and E may also be faulted for the improper insertion of it to refer redundantly to the new company. Finally, E is not parallel in verb tense with captured... has forced. Choice D does not maintain parallelism, unnecessarily shifting from active (company not only has captured) to passive (but also these companies have been forced).
里头刚好有类似的主被动不对称选项,
从OG对D的解释看来, 那么在对等子句里,主被动就一定得对称了.
既然OG都是对的,我就这么归纳喽
Choice D does not maintain parallelism, unnecessarily shifting from
active (company not only has captured) to passive (but also these
companies have been forced).
