prep的语法题:
Meteor showers and individual streaks of light that flash across the sky every night are generated when tiny flecks of celestial detritus, often no larger than grains of sand or of pebbles, burn up speeding through the atmosphere.
A) grains of sand or of pebbles,burn up speeding B) grains of sand or pebbles, burnup while speeding C) grains of sand or pebbles,which burn up while speeding D) a grain of sand or pebble,which burns up as it speeds E) a grain of sand or a pebble,burns up when it speeds
这题选B,但我想问一个很细节的问题。。。
A中 grains of sand or of pebbles 为什么说of多余?如果省去of不会有grain与pebbles并列的歧义么?还是说 A of (B and C) 本来就是固定用法 = =
麻烦帮忙解答一下,非常感谢~~!!!!!! |
