以下是引用nickliu在2006-4-5 23:20:00的发言:1.Nebraska has floods in some years,(). a.in others drought. b.droughts are others c. while other droughts d. others in drought 如何分析阿
A is correct. 这一题是很少见的题形.
1. A) is fine. It is called the 'some... others....' pattern. When we use 'some' and 'others,' we can omit a conjunction.
Here are some examples: Some people like potatoes, other people like rice. We do not need to use a conjunction here.
Some people like potatoes, other people, rice. Some people like potatoes, others, rice.
2. you might have anothter question about "drought".
The full sentence is "Nebraska has floods in some years, and it has drought in others". why it is "drought", not "droughts" to logically agree with the "floods" in the first clause?
"drought" can be count or non-count; both "drought" and "droughts" would therefore be correct in this sentence. |
