78.(28735-!-item-!-188;#058&003712) The cottontail rabbit population in Orange County, California, has increased unchecked in recent(years as a result of the removal of )thenative fox population and the clearing of surrounding woodlands. (A) years as a result of the removal of (B) years as a result of removing
(C) years, resulting from the removing of (D) years, which is a result of removing (E) years, which is a result of the removal of (A) 正确, as a result后面接名词的并列结构,表达正确,简洁 (B) as a result of后面加动名词不好,且根据未划线部分and the clearing判断出as a result of后面应该是名词 (C) removal是remove的名词形式,因此不用the removing表达remove的名词形式 (D) which不能指代句子,在这里没有指代; removing应该改为the removal (E) which不能指代句子。 我的疑问是: 1、"clear"不是也有名词形式"clearance"但原文用“the clearing”代替,为什么不能用“the removing”代替“removal”? 2、GMAT一直强调连词“and"的前后部分必须平行对称,“the removing of ”与“the clearing of”完美对称,为什么正确答案不是C? 3、答案A是官方答案吗?如果是,有没有官方解释呢? |
