再次请教885:section B-24

24.Through the years, the exquisitely subtle flavors and superb richness of Kenyan coffee has attracted an international following of discerning consumers.
(A) the exquisitely subtle flavors and superb richness of Kenyan coffee has
(B) the coffee of Kenya, with its exquisitely subtle and superbly rich flavors, have
(C) the exquisitely subtle, superbly rich flavors of Kenyan coffee are what has
(D) Kenyan coffee’s superb richness and exquisite subtlety of flavor has
(E) the exquisitely subtle flavors and superb richness of Kenyan coffee have
答案e,我选了a
用and 连接两个名词,如果and 后面的名词前没有冠词,谓语不是应该用单数吗?
如section B-15:
The increased popularity and availability of televisions has led to the decline of regional dialects,...
这周就要考试了,还请大家都帮忙!

还是要根据句意理解吧
richness和flavors中flacors用了复数,因此动词也该用复数

而popularity and availability 是不可数的,

就是说这种情况,如果其中一个词是复数,整体就是复数。

我刚查了本语法书,有下面几句里例句:
Bread and milk is wholesome food.
Fish and chips is a popular super.
The poet and writer has come.
Trial and error is the source of knowledge.
All work and no play makes Jack a full boy.
书上解释说“名词A and 名词B“ 表示一种事物或一种概念是,应用单数动词。比如说第三句,
那人是诗人兼作家。
section B-15:
The increased popularity and availability of televisions has led to the decline of regional dialects,...
"incrased popularity" and "availability" 是不是可以理解成也是说的一个意思呢?

24.Through the years, the exquisitely subtle flavors and superb richness of Kenyan coffee has attracted an international following of discerning consumers.
(A) the exquisitely subtle flavors and superb richness of Kenyan coffee has
(B) the coffee of Kenya, with its exquisitely subtle and superbly rich flavors, have
(C) the exquisitely subtle, superbly rich flavors of Kenyan coffee are what has
(D) Kenyan coffee’s superb richness and exquisite subtlety of flavor has
(E) the exquisitely subtle flavors and superb richness of Kenyan coffee have

答案是E。但偶也选A,除了上面dansy说的理由,偶的理由是如果谓语用复数的话,说明主语是复数概念,那就应该理解成如下:
(the exquisitely subtle flavors) and (superb richness of Kenyan coffee)
偶觉得这样的并列根本无意义!因为这个flavors不受Kenyan coffee限制!正如以前讨论过的owning and living in...后面也是用谓语单数一样。

大家说呢?

A and B of C结构的确是个有歧义的表达方式,但是可以通过后面的谓语动词的单复数来消除歧义,从意思上我们还是应该理解成为是flavors 和richness吸引了人们

所以用have可以将of结构的歧义消除(ETS的很多句子都是用这招来消除歧义的,如that从句中)

但是我还是弄不清The increased popularity and availability of televisions has 中的

popularity and availability 怎么指一个事物法?

    我是这么看这个问题的:the exquisitely subtle flavors and superb richness 是显然的描述同一事物的两个概念,我就觉得要用复数

    而living and owning in。。。这题,明显是讲述一个概念,应该用单数

    而The increased popularity and availability of televisions has 这里显然要用has,因为increased修饰popularity and availability ,而且increased前面有the,表示这是一个集团概念

    一点个人意见,大家讨论。。。

谢谢dreadpower,但是这样的判断对偶来讲实在是感到很悬。就是说对你来说很明显的单数或集体概念,偶一点也没感觉。

     我觉得现实考题中,没有这样考的,题目本身有很多错误,而不是一个

    此外,题目本身有很多提示,通过提示可知道主语是单数还是复数

   不必在这个问题上究个原则出来,本没有太多原则
