1. The Wallerstein study indicates that even after a decade young men and women still experience some of the effects of a divorce occurring when a child. A. occurring when a child B. occurring when children C. that occurred when a child D. that occurred when they were children E. that has occurred as each was a child
Choice D is best. The phrasing a divorce that occurred when they were children correctly uses the relative clause that occurred to modify a divorce and includes a pronoun and verb (they were) that refer unambiguously to their antecedent, men and women. Choice A incorrectly introduces the when... phrase with occurring, thus illogically making divorce the grammatical referent of when a child; furthermore, the singular child does not agree with the plural men and women. B replaces child with children but otherwise fails to correct A's errors of structure and logic, and C corrects only the error created by occurring. Choice E includes an incorrect verb tense (has occurred) and wrongly replaces when with as. Also, each was does not properly refer to men and women.
请问,E选项的each为什么不能指men and women? 理解成“men and mowen中的每一个”不行吗? 也就是说如果有个选项是:that occurred when each was a child ,当他们每一个都是孩子的时候 可以吗?? |
