105. (30121-!-item-!-188;#058&004107)
Even though it was not illegal for the bank to share its customers' personal and financial information with an outside marketing company in return for a commission on sales, the state's attorney general accused the bank of engaging in deceptive business practices by failing to honor its promise to its customers to keep records private.
(A) by failing to honor its promise to its customers to keep (B) by its failure of honoring its promise to its customers to keep (C) in its failing to honor its promise to its customers of keeping (D) because of its failure in honoring its promise to its customers in keeping (E) because of its failure to honor its promise to its customers of keeping 答案是a 挣扎了很久后发现什么是逻辑含义,because of 还是by,engage in 欺骗性的交易,到底是 by 还是 because of,原因还是手段,通过透露顾客隐私而进行欺骗性交易,还是因为透露顾客隐私所以陷入欺骗性交易,是否有因果关系存在,prep破解的解释有点牵强,说动名词胜于名词还说promise to do sth是固定搭配,可是原文中的promise是名词非动词
accuse,控告银行涉嫌欺骗性交易,通过泄露客户资料 accuse sb of doing sth by 。。。 accuse sb of doing sth because of sth。。。
我怀疑这个题是prep中的高分题,绕了我好久,有牛人解答吗 |
