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
OG解释: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.
"as and "when" are not the same. when using "as" the emphasis is that two thing happen at the same time. for "when", it is an adv. phrase telling you the time something happened. also, the verb is "as" can last, while that in "when" may not. try to tell the difference: i was walking down the street when ou called me; i was walking down the street as i talked to you.
以下是引用excellent在2004-1-18 10:54:00的发言: that occurred when they were children中的when可不可以用as替换?when和as有何区别?
这是前几天我问的一个问题.
