2. As the housing affordability gap widens, middle-income families are especially hard-hit, and these families can no longer qualify to buy homes, and rising rental rates force them to use far more than the standard 25 percent of their incomes for housing, leaving them with no equity or tax write-offs to offset the expenditures.
(A) and these families can no longer qualify to buy homes, and
(B) since these families can no longer afford to buy homes, furthermore
(C) for these families can no longer afford to buy homes, yet
(D) and these families can no longer afford to buy homes; however,(C)
(E) and these families can no longer afford to buy homes, for
我选d
c,d都没有语法错误,
区别点:c中for表原因解释前句,yet表转折
d中用and,表和前句轻微顺序,用however表后段整体与前句整体转折
我倾向选d,原因:1、c中for these families can no longer afford to buy homes,作原因,逻辑上很牵强;d用and流畅些
2、c中的yet表转折有歧义,可以表示和主句的转折也可以表和for分句的转折,而d很好的解决了这个问题用分号隔开,分号前后两个表明两种相反的状况。
大家的意见呢?谢谢。 |
