A different variety of giant tortoise can be found on every island in the Galapagos, each with its own style of oversized dome and comically scrawny neck.
Aeach with its own style of oversized dome and comically scrawny neck
Beach with their own styles of oversized domes and comically scrawny necks
Ceach having their own style of oversized dome and comically scrawny neck
Dall having their own styles of oversized domes and comically scrawny necks
Eall with their own style of oversized dome and comically scrawny neck
答案是A,但是个人觉得没有答案。
A选项里面的each的意思好像是想说a variety of tortoise,但是按照独立主格的用法each不应该是只最靠近它的一个复数名词的吗,也就是Galapagos,可是如果是这样语义不通。再看D,是all having,我一开始是选择的这个答案,但是后来搜有关独立主格的知识点发现说独立主格的n和主句主语不可以是同一个。所以这道题就没有选项了吗?
以下是Ron的原话:
i am 99.9% sure that this is not actually an official gmat prep problem; if you google the problem, this thread is the *only* hit that is not on a chinese server. (by contrast, try googling any legitimate gmat prep problem and you\'ll get hundreds of hits on different u.s.-based gmat forums.)
given that this problem is almost certainly *not* official, we can feel free to criticize it.
我的理解是 Each + 主语 (是指句子的实质主语,而不是就近原则,选离得最近的名词)“A different variety of giant tortoise can be found on every island in the Galapagos, each with its own style of oversized dome and comically scrawny neck”
在这个句子中,variety是真正的主语,“in the Galapagos” 是地点状语。each + 实际主语,所以接单数的its.
each型独立主格,强调句尾名词,形式为:
句子 + 复数名词结尾, each + 介词短语/形容词短语/-ed形式/-ing 形式。
确实each强调句尾名词。
楼主可以把前面的主句A different variety of giant tortoise can be found on every island in the Galapagos被动还原变成
on every island in the Galapagos can find a different variety of giant tortoise,这样是不是就会好一点了呢。不过方位状语放句首,后面还要倒装,比较麻烦,所以直接用被动省事。
