RON：名词与动名词

王壮实

疑惑1
Political situations in the Middle Easthave caused increasing gas price
ron 说这个句子错---因为caused强调的仅仅是名词price，进而导致语义不通（ron把increasing当作adj处理）

想问一下  为什么不可以把  increasing gas price当作是一个动名词，在这里做n适用？？？

同样的问题

A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies


RON：
choice (a) says "suffering from ... food supplies". (note that this is the core structure. yes, "dwindling" is there, but it doesn't change the core structure.)


为什么不可以把 dwindling food supplies 当作动名词呢，在这里也是充当n，也解释的通呀？??


求大神解答！！

好的，还是要抓住核心词，谢谢！！

不管increasing是形容词还是名词，核心词就是一个：price. 而Political situation不会导致价格！这在语意上是解释不通的。

GMAT中，直接将英语翻译成中文有时候是行不通的。

这句句子语意也是有很大问题的。只看核心词，seabed的生物不会因为food而suffer. Food is awesome!
