SR (og 24) 求助！

24. The first decision for most tenants living in a building undergoing being converted to cooperative ownership is if to sign a no-buy pledge with the other tenants.

(A) being converted to cooperative ownership is if to sign

(B) being converted to cooperative ownership is whether they should be signing

(C) being converted to cooperative ownership is whether or not they sign

(D) conversion to cooperative ownership is if to sign

(E) conversion to cooperative ownership is whether to sign

答案是E. 我不明白的是题干中的“undergoing …”应该是用来修饰逻辑主语“tenants”的，它应该和“living in a building”是并列关系，在他们之间，应该用连词“and”连接。否则，会使人认为“undergoing …”的逻辑主语是与他最近的名词“building”.

讲的就是building从一种产权形式向cooperative ownership的形式过渡.

此处undergoing conversion的逻辑主语确实是building

谢谢斑竹mariezhu。。。。：））

(E) conversion to cooperative ownership is whether to sign

请问这里whether 和 if 的区别。

在OG的解释上已经说了, A and D can be faulted for saying if rather than whether, since the sentence poses alternative possibilities, to sign or not to sign. 通常WHETHER会跟OR NOT 连用, 这里省略了OR NOT 的. 会不会用IF的话就只有一种单一的可能呢???????????

cooperative ownership的解釋~美國的公寓大致可分兩種,(1)co-op(cooperative):只買房子,不買土地,最多住40年,價格較便宜 (2)condo:土地房子一起買,價格較高~~這題裡的cooperative ownership就是指co-op的公寓所有權!

感谢楼上的知识分享

up! living和undergoing的修饰对象解释得很清楚。我一开始也以为undergoing是修饰tenant的，但觉得结构很怪。现在觉得结构很清晰了。感谢。
