OG43 Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north. (A) about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many (B) of about the same size as Great Britain is, but in Laos there is a population of only fourmillion, and many (C) that is about the same size as Great Britain’s land area, but in Laos with a population of only four million people, many of them (D) comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only four million in population, and many (E) comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people, many of whom
我选了D,OG解释说因为D选项的and gives undue emphasis to the claim that many of the people in Laos lives in inaccessible place. 因为D里的and在划线部分,也不能确定句子原来的重心是想把这两个分句设为主从关系,而不是并列关系啊????????
很多类似句子重心转移的题都把握不好,不知道怎么确定分句间的关系..............捉急中!!!求各位NN和斑斑指点一二呀!!!-- by 会员 槐阿米 (2012/8/1 12:01:34)
和这道题好像。。。可以瞅瞅 http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-743197-1-1.html我觉得还是从句意理解吧。。 -- by 会员 zhengjiahan (2012/8/1 14:34:21)
看了之后仍然觉得云山雾罩,我知道and是并列关系,两句地位相等,whom引导是从句,是从属关系,地位一主一次, 但是我仍旧不明白是哪个关键点,决定了他们两句一定要是主从关系,而不是其他关系呢?我试着把两句放在并列的关系上,仍然觉得并无大碍.........我觉得我这个蹩脚的逻辑思维如果理不顺,不光是SC,CR也要出问题了T_T -- by 会员 槐阿米 (2012/8/1 18:19:01)
我稍微有点想明白你关于具有解决的观点了,我的想法是这样,大家一块讨论看看是不是对的呢?
一般一句话,会有若干结论(claims),这些结论一般都会以“一个结论一个clause”的形式展现出来,仔细分析句子,看属于那种关系:
(1)从属关系:从所有结论中找出最确定最make sense的n个结论,承载这n个结论的n个clauses就可以确定为句子的main clause(s),其他结论即为句子的附属clauses,连结要使用从句 or 让步(though/although);
(2)并列关系:如果发现几个结论分量相当,就一定是地位相同 or 意思相反的clauses,连结要使用And or But这类并列连词; (3)也会有像这道题一样,两个main clauses是并列关系,以and连结,第二个关于population的观点与它的附属clause是从属关系,以从句或者让步连结; |
