Most insomnia is not an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications, anxiety about travel, or stress before a job interview.
A.an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simplybe a reaction to certain medications
B.an illness or a physical condition so much as symptomatic of another problem that may be a simple one, like a reaction caused by certain medications
C.so much an illness or a physical condition but a symptom of another problem that may be as simple as when certain medications cause a reaction
D.so much an illness or a physical condition, but it is a symptom of another problem, maybe a simple one like certain medications causing a reaction
E.so much an illness or a physical condition but symptomatic of another problem, maybe simply a reaction to certain medications
我觉得是选E,看A选项,把 so much as 去掉,前面是一个什么的条件,后面是一个问题的特征,意思上是不平行的。 而E选项,把so much 和but 中间全部去掉(这部分都是比较或者平行标志的部分,中间内容也去掉)insommia和symptomatic of another problem意思上是平行的,而且功能也平行。 另外,E选项去掉副词maybe 和simply后,是一个同位语来作从句修饰insommia,并且同位语进行了平行,意思非常清晰,层次性很明显。而A选项用了that的限制性定语从句,限制地修饰了problem,而没有对insommia进行修饰,所以逻辑上不对。
你觉得E 中 insomnia is not an illness or a physical condition but symptomatic of another problem中的 an illness or a physical condition 和 symptomatic of another problem 能平行吗?前面是名次后面是 symptomatic 形容词啊~ 另外 a reaction 即便理解是同位语的话,a reaction 和那个noun 平行呢?你说是指nsommia 那么未免修饰的太远了吧。。。A 选项定语从句 a symptom may simply be a reaction to。。。是合情合理的。
选A,100%确定,一方面是因为not so much as 为固定搭配,另一方面是因为E不平行,而且更重要的是你注意看E选项的后半部分“but symptomatic of another problem, maybe simply a reaction to certain medications”这里的reaction根本就无法作为“another problem”同位语,反而A就很清晰,reaction就是名词symtom的同位语
