标题: OG 163

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.




  1. sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs and sleep fifteen hours a day, moving infrequently enough


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


  3. sloths use their long rubbery limbs to hang from trees, sleep fifteen hours a day, and move so infrequently


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


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


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. Choice A illogically coordinates hang and sleep and, like E, uses the unidiomatic expression infrequently enough that. B creates an awkward and nonparallel series: sloths hang ..., they sleep ..., and with.... C creates a confusing and absurd image with use their... limbs to hang ..., sleep ..., and move .... A, B, and C all mistakenly use the plural sloths, which does not agree , with its coat and... its toes. E wrongly coordinates hangs and sleeps and violates parallelism by inserting it before moves to create a new independent clause.


1、可是我觉得没有its，还是表明了limbs belong to sloth呀，怎么会少了就belong to the tree了呢？


2、abc改为sloth可以吗？？是不是一定要用the sloth？？


谢谢

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

如果把its去掉,by的修饰成分就不清晰了,完全可以理解为树的,这里用一个单数代词指代,为的就是避开trees.

定冠词+单数名词可以表示一类,在这里用单数避开了trees,何乐而不为呢?mm

树也可以有long rubbery limbs啊，即使不知道有没有，那至少不能排除有。

ets有时候表现的很白吃，连火山那题都可以在信里面暴发的。
