Judicial rules in many states require that the identities of all prosecution witnesses are made known to defendants so they can attempt to rebut the testimony, but the Constitution explicitly requires only that the defendant have the opportunity to confront an accuser in court.
OG 227 227. Judicial rules in many states require that the identities of all prosecution witnesses are made known to defendants so they can attempt to rebut the testimony, but the Constitution explicitly requires only that the defendant have the opportunity to confront an accuser in court.
A. that the identities of all prosecution witnesses are made known to defendants so they can attempt to rebut B. that the identities of all prosecution witnesses be made known to defendants so that they can attempt to rebut C. that the defendants should know the identities of all prosecution witnesses so they can attempt a rebuttal of D. the identities of all prosecution witnesses should be made known to defendants so they can attempt rebutting E. making known to defendants the identities of all prosecution witnesses so that they can attempt to rebut
OG中解释说:Choices C and E awkwardly place the plural noun witnesses between the plural pronoun they and its referent, defendants.我觉得如果前面有两个或两个以上的复数名词,后面如果出现代词they的话,应该有歧义。应该用确切的名词来代替代词。但是正确答案B中为什么就确定they是指代defendants。 如在OG 209 中 209. The Senate approved immigration legislation that would grant permanent residency to millions of aliens currently residing here and if employers hired illegal aliens they would be penalized. A。 if employers hired illegal aliens they would be penalized
OG就解释说in A the referent of they is unclear 还有在OG 31中也是 31. Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, there is a disinclination on the part of many people to recognize the degree to which their analytical skills are weak. C。 Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, analytical skills bring out a disinclination in many people to recognize that they are weak to a degree. OG就解释说Also in C, the referent of they is unclear。
我觉得代词指代问题在任何语言中都存在问题,但是毕竟你要找的答案是THE BEST ONE, NOT THE PERFECT ONE。一些OG上的解释也有些牵强,但是不要计较,因为那是OG,就认为它是对的,关键看这道题它究竟想考什么,你是否把握了。1stzhang说的对,我们最主要的目标是要通过GMAT的考试,在此同时能够对ENGLISH有一个重新的认识,对自己的逻辑性、严谨性、句子的正式性、快速阅读能力有提高就可以了。
在LZM的书里有一道题,与此类似. The British Admiralty and the War Office met in March 1892 to consider a possible Russian attempt to seize Constantinople how they would have to act militarily to deal with them. 这里的一个错误是them指代错误,因为Russian是一个修饰成分,不可能被指代.
