求助语法题一道

27. GWD21-Q27:

The electronics company has unveiled what it claims to be the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs less than 11 ounces.

 

 

A.    to be the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs

B.    to be the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, weighing

C.    is the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, and it weighs

D.    is the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, which is as long as a handheld computer and weighs

E.     is the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, weighing

惭愧,上来就排掉CDE,结果答案是D

这道题以前做过,也觉得答案是B来着,感觉claim to be 很合理啊

求牛牛解惑

这个句子是从句套从句,先分析一下语法结构:

The electronics company (主)has unveiled (谓)what it claims ....(宾)

所以在这里 what it claims 是宾语从句里的主语部分,后面要补上相应的谓语宾语。

选B的话句式就混乱了,不信你把B套进去分析一下结构,是分析不清楚的。

当然claim to be sth这个用法是有的:

claim to do/be something
        
e.g.
No responsible therapist will claim to cure your insomnia.
I
                    
don't claim to be

                
a feminist, but I'd like to see more women in top jobs.
但是这句话里不符合语法结构,所以不选。
而且就算不看前面的部分,what it claims to be 我觉得也是不对的用法。通常it 做形式宾语的话应该是it is claimed that...
