OG 112 / 116 / 121

问题有些多。再次翻阅OG。发现有些解释自己仍然不理解。向各位XDJM求助。先谢过了。如果问题有些弱。还希望您耐心解答。

OG 19 / 112

112.
            The Federal Reserve Board’s reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions is both an acknowledgment of past economic trends and an effort to influence their future direction.

错误选项：(D) reducing interest rates on loans to financial institutions is an acknowledgment both of past economic trends and an effort

19.  In virtually all types of tissue in every animal species, dioxin induces the production of enzymes that are the organism’s attempt to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritant

错误选项：(A) trying to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical that is irritating it

根据解释可以看到 OG 认为
                    ’s + doing à awkward ，请问awkward在哪里呢？

OG 116

Out of America’s fascination with all things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.

麻烦讲解一下句子结构。不太明白为什么that is 的主语是market。谢谢。

OG 121

A firm that specializes in the analysis of handwriting claims to be able, from a one-page writing sample, to assess more than 300 personality traits, including enthusiasm, imagination, and ambition.

错误选项：(A) from a one-page writing sample that it can assess

OG 解释
            ：

When the prepositional phrase from a one-page writing sample is placed between claims and that, the result confuses and distorts the meaning by suggesting that the claim is contained in the writing sample.

（A）
                The prepositional phrase following the verb distorts the meaning of the sentence

（D）The correct idiomatic construction (claims to be able to assess) is used in this

sentence, and the prepositional phrase is set off in a pair of commas to prevent

misreading.----正确答案

请问这里 A）distort the meaning 在哪里呢？对于OG的解释不太明白

对于D)和总的解释是不是可以理解为：

固定搭配间不能插入成分破坏整体感，但对成对出现的逗号除外
                。因为双逗号的插入作用明显。谢谢。

's doing，不谈具体情景，语法上我觉得是没有问题的，两个选项之所以被判定为awkward，可能在于，动词ing形式倾向于表达动作、行为，而相应的名词，更倾向表达动作结果；

这个我没发现非常明显的规律，但有一点个人体会，SC题目里面，除了being, going,coming这种特殊的动词，没怎么见过其他动词ing出现在所有格结构里面（不是没有，是我不记得有没有），而且，如果这个动词本身就有名词形式，那就更可能是使用其名词而非动词形式了。

og 116

a market (that is bringing back the chasie lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub) (for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures) has grown out of America's fascination with all things antique

og 121

A, 有两种解释的可能，1，from 短语修饰claim；2，from 短语修饰assess;

D, 我没有太明白你的意思，因为只要是插入语，肯定前后各有一个逗号，D正确，是因为插入语的位置正确，不会产生修饰上的歧义。

个人浅见，继续讨论

1.根据解释可以看到 OG 认为
                    ’s + doing    awkward ，请问awkward在哪里呢？

首先，当一个动词有名词形式时，一般不用动名词而要用该动词的名词形式（如construct名词是construction，那么句子中就不用contructing）

但是当强调一个动作本身的时候，可以用动名词。如：OG-VEBAL REAVIEW-17 

In the mid 1960's a newly installed radar warning sysem mistook the rising of the moon for a massie Soviet missile attack.此处强调月亮的升起，就不用名词rise而用动名词rising

至于为什么sb's doing 就awkward，我觉得一般表示“某人的什么什么”这里面的“什么什么”这个名词就不能强调动作，而表示具体的事物，不知道你能不能接受。如果无法接受这种理解，干脆不要去想它，反正GMAT就是不喜欢'S+doing，记住就好了。

另外你举得第一个例子，OG112的D选项这里面不是你所谓的 's doing结构，这里面的reducing是分词修饰后面的interest rates，也就是The Federal Reserve Board’s （reducing） interest rates

OG 116是个倒装结构

A market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub has grown out of America’s fascination with all things antique。

这里面之所以倒装是为了避免主语过长而导致的头重脚轻，你看，划线部分都是主语

OG 121

distort the meaning 因为 A firm that ....claim from a one-page writing sample是说“公司从一页手写样本声称他们可以。。。”而事实上正确意思应该是“公司声称他们可以从一页手写样本。。。”

嗯，agree,

我也觉得，所有格，本身就表示一种所属关系，你的什么，我的什么，这个“什么”替换为动作，感觉别扭（唉，可见我是个印象流）。。。

谢谢MM。

那是不是可以说介词短语可以向前或者向后修饰。所以当介词短语出现在完整的句子中时，一般情况下是有歧义的呢？

关于D) 一下来自于OG解释：

When the prepositional phrase from a one-page writing sample is placed between claims and that, the result confuses and distorts the meaning by suggesting that the claim is contained in the writing sample. Instead, the firm claims to be able ... to assess. The prepositional phrase should be placed between a pair of commas to show clearly that it is additional information not crucial to understanding the sentence.

D     Correct. The correct idiomatic construction (claims to be able to assess) is used in
                    this sentence, and
                    the prepositional phrase is set off in a pair of commas to prevent misreading.

我想问是不是可以推出固定搭配间不能插入成分。因为破坏整体感。可是双逗号除外。因为双逗号的插入成分明显。也就是claim that...对。claim...that错呢？

还有一点不太明白。为什么这里的介词短语是附加成分呢？是不是只有在读懂句子的逻辑意思的前提下才能分析出这个考点呢？谢谢

OG112

一看到reducing就和前面的19题连在一起了。谢谢MM指正。接受你的观点。理解了。那这里的awkward 19题和112题都是一样的喽。是不是也可以说成时动作和结果的区别呢？一开始，我以为是doing的两种理解。比如's一种表示所有格，一种表示is 成为了一个现在进行时。

OG121

还是要理解句子意思。现在明白了。谢谢。不过是不是也可以按照2楼MM所说的是from可以向前向后修饰的问题呢?看来现在真的是语法中的逻辑意思至上。记得xdf上课时，老师还说是语法>逻辑。
