笔记里有一类错误是指代不清,第65题的补充说明指出:
一般来说,当一个代词可以指代多个对象时,它优先指代离它较近代的对象,如果就近指代会导致逻辑意思的错误,则可以肯定该选项犯有指代不清的错误.(目前GMAT题目均符合该规律)
根据这段话,我们可以总结出:如果就近指代的对象和逻辑意思指代的对象矛盾,就是指代不明。
但在这道题具体的A、B、E解释中,作者却说their既可指代X,又可指代Y ,
感觉这里的指代不明是代词可以指代的东西很多,不知道该指代哪个,而没有提到与逻辑指代的矛盾
之后的很多题也就是这样解释的~~很困惑 因为我认为虽然可指的东西很多,但我们能够通过句意找出真正的指代对象
71题是按指代对象矛盾点解释的 这样的解释还是很让人信服的
如果按照作者对指代不清的定义 那么70题的正确选项就是错的,E选项的they就近指代patterns, 而根据逻辑意思应该指代animal, 这样就近指代对象和句意的指代对象就矛盾了,这算不算指代不清呢?但是E是正确选项

所以请牛人们指点迷津,到底什么才是指代不明呢?是指代对象的矛盾, 还是能指代的很多,不知道该指哪一个

Developed by Pennsylvania's Palatine Germans about 1750, they made Conestoga wagons with high wheels capable of crossing rutted roads, muddy flats, and the nonroads of the prairie and they had a floor curved upward on either end so as to prevent cargo from shifting on steep grades.
(A) they made Conestoga wagons with high wheels capable of crossing rutted roads, muddy flats, and the nonroads of the prairie and they had a floor curved upward on either end so as to prevent
(B) they made Conestoga wagons, which had high wheels capable of crossing rutted roads, muddy flats, and the nonroads of the prairie, and floors curved upward on their ends so that they prevented
(C) Conestoga wagons, with high wheels capable of crossing rutted roads, muddy flats, and the nonroads of the prairie, and had a floor that was curved upward at both ends to prevent
(D) Conestoga wagons had high wheels capable of crossing rutted roads, muddy flats, and the nonroads of the prairie, and a floor that was curved upward at both ends to prevent
(E) Conestoga wagons had high wheels capable of crossing rutted roads, muddy flats, and the nonroads of the prairie and floors curving upward at their ends so that it prevented

1) 指代歧意

(A) 第一个they没有可以指代的对象,第二个they可能跟第一个they指代相同,或者指代wagons,导致指代不清;they作为developed的逻辑主语,错误,wagons才是developed的逻辑主语.
(B) they没有指代对象;they作为developed的逻辑主语,应该是wagons作为developed的逻辑主语;and floors curved upward on their ends so that they prevented表达笨拙,their可能指代floors或者wagons,指代不清.they可能跟their指代一致,也可能指代floors,同样指代不清.
(C) with high wheels…and had a floor结构不平行,前者是介词结构,后者是动词结构
(E) it没有指代,their指代不清,即可能指代floors也可能指代wagons;不定式表目的,而so that…通常表达结果。

Paper production accounts for approximately 40 percent of the world's industrial use of wood, and
the market for paper is growing faster than it is for all major wood products.
(A) the market for paper is growing faster than it is for all
(B) the market for paper is growing faster than the market for all other
(C) the market for it is growing faster than it is for all other
(D) its market is growing faster than the market for all
(E) its market is growing faster than it is for all other

(C) 第一个it指代模糊,既可能指代paper production又可能指代use of wood,如果根据优先原则指代use of wood则不符合逻辑;

(D) whether similar patterns would be exhibited in other animals that were studied with as much depth
(E) whether other animals would exhibit similar patterns if they were studied in as much depth
