From the bark of the paper birch tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons or eight hundred pounds of baggage so light that a person could easily portage it around impeding rapids. (A) baggage so light (B) baggage being so light (C) baggage, yet being so light (D) baggage, and so light (E) baggage yet was so light
这道题选E,因为yet承接了前后对比关系,适合用于此,小船自身很轻但是承重很重
有两个问题不太明白,我知道要用yet当时C里的yet用法为什么错了?
另外句子中的which修饰canoe,隔得很远,中间插入语,前面试N+介词短语,which就近不就是修饰wide了吗?
附上解释:
Furthermore, both place adjectival constructions after baggage, illogically stating that the eight hundred pounds of baggage, rather than the canoe, was light. Choice C supplies yet but ungrammatically uses the participle being where was is required. Similarly, D omits the necessary verb after and; and here again, the use of and rather than yet fails to express the contrast.
