Despite there being no fundamental difference in shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia
from the ones in other parts of Northern Europe, archaeological evidence shows that Viking ships
were lighter, slimmer, faster, and thus probably more seaworthy than the heavier vessels used by
the English at that time.
(A) Despite there being no fundamental difference in shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age
Scandinavia from the ones
(B) Despite no fundamental difference between the shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age
Scandinavia from those
(C) With shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia not fundamentally different from those
(D) With the shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia having no fundamental difference
from the ones
(E) Although shipbuilding traditions in Viking-Age Scandinavia were not fundamentally different
from those

请问答案E改为了fundamentally different和fundamental difference是一个意思么？我记得OG里面这样的改写都是错的。比如有一道是develop independently以及development was independent of..是有区别的。

我觉得fundamentally different/fundamental difference是不是一个意思要看这个difference(different)修饰的对象是不是同一个：

A/E中的difference(different)的对象都是shipbuilding traditions in VA Scandinaiva和 other parts of...;所以我觉得这里的改写不影响原意；

至于develop independently/development was independent of

我手头没有OG,但我觉得是不是前者是develop作谓语修饰主语；后者development成了主语

我觉得没区别.

你说的develop independently/development was independent of,我好像记得是说后面的介词from和of不同造成的逻辑意思不一样,develop independently,这个是修饰动词develop所以用independently,另一个是跟在was后面,用adj.很合适,语法上看没什么区别.你再看看

143. Recently discovered fossil remains strongly suggest that the Australian egg-laying mammals of today are a branch of the main stem of mammalian evolu­tion rather than developing independently from a common ancestor of mammals more than 220 mil­lion years ago.

(A)    rather than developing independently from

(B)    rather than a type that developed independently from

(C)    rather than a type whose development was independent of

(D)    instead of developing independently from

(E)    instead of a development that was indepen­dent of

再看OG这题，确实是from与of的区别致使意思不同。谢谢。

再看本题也确实说的过去了。因为之前我一直有一个观点是只要这样变了就是错的。

那么significantly变为significant是错的，这种说法应该成立吧？

还想请教with的用法。请问with在句首用不用与主语搭配？我只知道with作独立主格的用法，还有什么用法么？

动词优于名词结构。对with恨之深，因为每选必错，爱之深，自从开始做PREP看到with选项就当没看到，正确率彪升，不是升，是飙升。记得整2套PREP，就一个答案是用了with的，忘了哪道题。总结一下，用with型独主结构可能对句子的要求很高，MM懂我意思了。
