65. In a plan to stop the erosion of East Coast beaches, the Army Corps of Engineers proposed building parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks that would rise six feet above the waterline and act as a buffer, so that it absorbs the energy of crashing waves and protecting the beaches. (A) act as a buffer, so that it absorbs (B) act like a buffer so as to absorb (C) act as a buffer, absorbing (D) acting as a buffer, absorbing (E) acting like a buffer, absorb 选C。 我的问题是absorbing 有没有修饰主句主语的歧义呢？ 感谢同学指教。 -- by 会员 venus2elva (2010/3/26 15:32:15)
我觉得没可能absorbing会修饰the Army Corps。一，the Army Corps absort ...完全句意不对，二，从GMAT的modifier的角度来看，absorbing是修饰紧接其前的句子，前面句子的解释、意思延伸的作用。所以应该是修饰a breakwater of rocks that would act as a buffer的。另一方面从GMAT的modifier考点来看的话，modifier离the Army Corps有多远够多远，不可能是GMAT句子的风格。如果硬要改成GMAT风格的话，我认为是应该是这样的了：
Absorbing the energy of crashing waves and protecting the beaches, the Army Corps of Engineers proposed building
parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks that would rise。这个句子句意完全不对了。
six feet above the waterline and act as a buffer |
