恩，就是逻辑主语和语法主语不太一致，可能有指代歧义，所以不选它
换句话说，既然c更清晰，为什么不选c呢？

cherrydew

最后一题答案应该是c
后面exhaust oil reserves的逻辑主语应该是Alaska
D中exhausting的语法主语可以看做fund

呃你解释的太清楚了。。。。灰常感谢~~~

但是最后一个这个从逻辑上来理解的话~ 主语就不会是fund了啊

小伊YSY

最后一题答案应该是c
后面exhaust oil reserves的逻辑主语应该是Alaska
D中exhausting的语法主语可以看做fund

Q20中liken直接理解成“就像……”，柯林斯上关于liken的用法解释：
lik|en /l'a?k?n/ (likens likening likened)
[VERB] V n to n/-ing
If you liken one thing or person to another thing or person, you say that they are similar.
The pain is often likened to being drilled through the side of the head.
= compare
也就是liken n. to doing/n.
所以果断E

另外，D把一门技术和一个雕像比，不正确

22. The Federal Reserve Board’s reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions is both an acknowledgement of past economic trends and an effort to influence their future direction.

(A) reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions is both an acknowledgement of past economic trends and an effort

(B) reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions is an acknowledgement both of past economic trends as well as an effort

(C) reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions both acknowledge past economic trends and attempt

(D) reducing interest rates on loans to financial institutions is an acknowledgement both of past economic trends and an effort

(E) reducing interest rates on loans to financial institutions both acknowledge past economic trends as well as attempt

动词和形容词在这里是小问题，c有主谓不一致的大问题。主语是reduction[Sing.]，谓语确实acknoweldge和attempt，都是复数呢。
