OG88 enough的问题

88. The Emperor Augustus, it appears, commissioned an idealized sculpture portrait, the features of which are so unrealistic as to constitute what one scholar calls an "artificial face."


(A)  so unrealistic as to constitute


(B)  so unrealistic they constituted


(C)  so unrealistic that they have constituted


(D)  unrealistic enough so that they constitute


(E)   unrealistic enough so as to constitute


The verbs are and calls indicate that the sculpture is being viewed and judged in the present. Thus, neither the past tense verb constituted (in B) nor the present perfect verb have constituted (in C) is correct; both suggest that the statue's features once constituted an artificial face but no longer do so. Also, B would be better if that were inserted after so unrealistic, although the omission of that is not ungrammatical. Choices D and E use unidiomatic construc­tions with enough: unrealistic enough to constitute would be idiomatic, but the use of enough is imprecise and awkward in this context. Choice A, which uses the clear, concise, and idiomatic construction so unrealistic as to constitute, is best.


紫色的部分不是很理解,enough为什么不好?

我的理解是,enough一般用于肯定的情况,如果这句是realistic,那用enough也是可以的,但如果是否定的情况,用enough就有点别扭.

楼上的说法不能理解, 麻烦说的再详细一点。

另外再贴出一题:

103. Students in the metropolitan school district lack math skills to such a large degree as to make it difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming ever more dependent on information-based industries.

(A)  lack math skills to such a large degree as to make it difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming

(B)   lack math skills to a large enough degree that they will be difficult to absorb into a city's economy that becomes

(C)   lack of math skills is so large as to be difficult to absorb them into a city's economy that becomes

(D)  are lacking so much in math skills as to be difficult to absorb into a city's economy becoming

(E)   are so lacking in math skills that it will be difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming

In A, lack is modified by a wordy and awkward construction, to such a large degree as to make it difficult to. B is similarly flawed, and to a large enough degree that is unidiomatic. C is ungrammatical because it uses lack as a noun rather than as a verb: the phrase beginning Students... becomes a dangling element, and them refers illogically to skills rather than students. Additionally, A, B, and C fail to use one or both of the "-ing" forms are lacking and becoming; these forms are preferable to lack and becomes in describing progressive and ongoing conditions. D uses the "-ing" forms, but so much... as to be difficult to absorb is an awkward and unidiomatic verbal modifier. Choice E is best.

还是这个enough问题,请教大家!

关于第1题 个人觉得如果是unrealistic enough to constitute好了

否则是不是读上去怪怪的?? 而且Adj+enough to do就已经完整了  意思和so as to一样

不必重复

enough 这个词用在表达程度上是不专业的, 优选答案是so that/so as to.  当然也有例外, 比如

og 47.   Displays of the aurora borealis, or “northern lights,” can heat the atmosphere over the arctic enough to affect the trajectories of ballistic missiles, induce electric currents that can cause blackouts in some areas and corrosion in north-south pipelines.

(A) to affect the trajectories of ballistic missiles, induce

(B) that the trajectories of ballistic missiles are affected, induce

(C) that it affects the trajectories of ballistic missiles, induces

(D) that the trajectories of ballistic missiles are affected and inducesE

(E) to affect the trajectories of ballistic missiles and induce

好在这个enough没有出现在划线部分, 所以不用操心. 但我想说的意思是不要随便制定公理或固定用法.

小心把眉毛吓掉

一般来讲在选项中出现enough或so that/so as to, 总选后者, 如

og 163. Found throughout Central and South America, sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs and sleep fifteen hours a day, moving infrequently enough that two species of algae grow on its coat and between its toes.

(A) sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs and sleep fifteen hours a day, moving infrequently enough

(B) sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs, they sleep fifteen hours a day, and with such infrequent movements

(C) sloths use their long rubbery limbs to hang from trees, sleep fifteen hours a day, and move so infrequently

(D) the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery limbs, sleeping fifteen hours a day and moving so infrequentlyD

(E) the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery limbs, sleeps fifteen hours a day, and it moves infrequently enough

og88.   The Emperor Augustus, it appears, commissioned an idealized sculpture portrait, the features of which are so unrealistic as to constitute what one scholar calls an “artificial face.”

(A) so unrealistic as to constitute

(B) so unrealistic they constituted

(C) so unrealistic that they have constituted

(D) unrealistic enough so that they constituteA

(E) unrealistic enough so as to constitute

我给你举例子是想让你知道我不敢制定公理. 其实真正的公理少而又少, 要不然GMAT怎么是一种能力考试而非知识考试呢?

连ETS自己也说选择最优答案, 而不时正确答案.
