再问GWD 3-10
10. Antarctica receives more solar radiation than does any other place on Earth, yet the temperatures are so cold and the ice cap is reflective, so that little polar ice melts during the summer; otherwise, the water levels of the oceans would rise 250 feet and engulf most of the world’s great cities.
- is reflective, so that little polar ice melts during the summer; otherwise,
- is so reflective that little of the polar ice melts during the summer; were it to do so,
- so reflective that little polar ice melts during the summer, or else
- reflective, so that little of the polar ice melts during the summer, or
- reflects so that little of the polar ice melts during the summer; if it did
看了很多前面关于这道题的讨论,关于C选项,认为错误的地方主要有三种:
(1)is在这里不能省略
(2)little polar ice这种用法有歧义
(3)or else是口语表达
我想问一下:
关于(1),以前我针对OG218题提出过关于be动词省略的疑问,于是有热心人给我举例:I am a student and he a teacher.并告诉我“系动词可以省,实意动词用do, did,......代替“,我当时也觉得可以接受,那这样的话,这里的is是不是也是可以省的呢?
关于(2),我们知道在GMAT里面,两个名词连用往往是有歧义的,这也适用于形容词吗?
关于(3),我不能确定,有没有人confirm一下?
谢谢。 |
