25 日菜哥哥与GWD的2个争执，求救各位大侠：fficeffice" />

因我很菜，GWD又很牛，但我的确坚信我是对的，所请各位牛牛见到本贴给个答复，菜哥哥跪谢各位。

The original sentence: on earth, among the surest indications are believed to be the rate of tree growth, as seen in the ring visible in the cross sections of their trunks.

Two of the alternative answers:

1-a: On earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are, it is believed, the rate of tree growth, as seen in the rings visible in the cross sections of their trunks.

1-b: On earth, the rate at which trees grow is believed to be among the surest indications of sunspot cycles, as seen in the rings visible in the cross sections of their trunks.

争论焦点：

The first disagreement between guan and I is whether the alternative choice A is a complete sentence. I think the original statement is not a sentence, but the choice A is. It is not only complete sentence but also 倒装。Guan, however, do not agree with me. He claims the A is not a sentence for it lacks the subject. What makes this shit so funny is other students also agree to his point. I think guan is terribly wrong.     If this is not the case, how to explain the two sentences following I extracted from the GRE and LAST respectively?             

Gre No 题3-3 SECTION A第19题题干.             Among the natural defenses of the skin against pathogenic organisms are all of the following EXCEPT the

LSAT第06套 SECTION I阅读

Among the factors that constrain the competitiveness of integrated producers are excessive labor, energy, and capital costs, as well as manufacturing inflexibility.

The choice A is not correct answer since the subject does not agree with the predicate “are”. The correct answer given by the goddamned ETS is alternative choice B. I suppose, however, if the predicate in the choice A, that is, the “are” is replaced by the “is”, the better answer would be A rather than B, for it does not change the intended meaning of the author who wants to emphasize the “among”. Another debate arises. Guan argues, the 倒装 exists only when such negative words as “none”, “never” is put the beginning of the sentence. Sucks! Am is really wrong? 管认为没有否定词提前不能倒装。 这家伙说不读懂文章比答案也能比对。fuck. 该是我死吗？

第二争论：

After 40 years research and development, a new type of jet engine, is being tested that could eventually propel aircraft wherever in the world within 2 hours or help boost cargo …

After 40 year r and d, a new type of jet engine is being tested, and it could eventually have the capability to propel aircraft whenever in the world with 2 hours or help boost cargo…

    红字部分没记权，别受干扰。关键是管认为2比1号，认为1种的that 引导的是目的壮语从句而不是宾语从句，他认为只能先开发后试验最后eventually 有能力，我正是被塔高的糊涂死了。

实在是很抱歉，第二个争论有出入错误，哪个逗号没有。多亏一牛朋友指出，不然误导大家了。该寺，该死。
