In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vintners have cut prices; their wines have been priced to sell, and they are. (A) have been priced to sell, and they are (B) are priced to sell, and they have (C) are priced to sell, and they do (D) are being priced to sell, and have (E) had been priced to sell, and they have Verb form In the underlined segment, the second verb does not need to repeat the word sell because it is understood from the previous verb phrase priced to sell. However, the second verb must be correctly conjugated with the understood sell. Th ey are sell is not a correct verb form; they do sell is correct. A Th ey are would require selling to complete it, not sell. B Th ey have would require sold to complete it, not sell. C Correct. Th is sentence properly uses they do in place of they do sell, a grammatically correct verb. D Have would require sold to complete it, not sell; omitting the subject they requires that the comma be omitted as well. E Th ey have would require sold to complete it, not sell; the past-perfect had been priced suggests illogically that the wines were already priced to sell before the vintners cut prices; moreover, since the past-perfect tense indicates that one event in the past occurred prior to another event in the past, the pasttense did would be required rather than the present-tense have. Th e correct answer is C. 所以我想知道这个题翻译过来是啥意思呢? their wines are priced to sell, and they do....我不明白这句话与上一句是什么逻辑关系呢? 请NN们指教. |
