OG 25 Based onaccounts of various ancient writers, scholars have painted a sketchypicture of the activities of an all-female cult that, perhaps as early as thesixth century B.C., worshipped a goddess known in Latin as Bona Dea, “the goodgoddess”.

Answer is: Using accounts of various ancient writers.

Q: 解释中说不用划线部分的原因是“based on … incorrectly modifies scholars.”
可是为什么based on是incorrectly修饰scholar呢？所要修饰的subject难道不是scholars吗？

NO.2
OG 37 解释中有一句话是“Subordinate Clause is not introduced by that.”一直都搞不懂subordinateclause是什么从句？网上看解释说是“从句”的意思…这不是废话么…我有同学说是非限定性定语从句的意思（可能是因为我给她了这句话才这么说的吧…）求subordinate clause的解释阿～

NO.3
先po正确句子：
OG 50 According to some analysts, the gains inthe stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy will avoid therecession that many had feared earlier n the year and instead come in for a“soft landing,” followed by a gradual increase in businessactivity.
再po上错误的 b ：in the economy to avoid the recession, that many feared earlier in theyear, rather to come.
我不明白的是的解释，其中一句是：rather to comedoes not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically. 因为不太明白为什么rather to come没有complete sentence 呢…？

NO.4
OG 52 直接po上正确句子：
Long before it was fashionable to be anexpatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home, andshe remained in France during the Second World War as a performer and an intelligenceagent for the Resistance.

解释中说：the adverb clause long…expatriate is best placed beforethe main clause.
我不明白这个的原因，如果在开头就直指所描述的对象Josephine Baker 不是更好更直接吗？为什么要把adverb clause提前呢？



NO.5
直接po上正确句子：
OG66 The 32 species that make up the dolphinfamily are closely related to whales and in fact include the animal known asthe killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is famous for itsaggressive hunting pods.

再po上错误的B) include the animal known as the killerwhale growing as big as 30 feet long and

解释中说：d选项错的原因之一是as big as is an idiomatically incorrect expression of the comparisons. 可是我网上查到as...as意为"和……一样"，表示同级的比较。那出现as…as的时候到底我们能用其在比较的句子里吗？
NO.6
还有个关于and的语法点，没有弄明白
举个例子：
xxx怎么怎么样，yyyy这里的话 两者之间没用and 连接。 此时的状况又有很多种 如果yyyy= do sth。的话 那么
1） xxx怎么怎么样，do
2)xxx怎么怎么样，did(被动态)
3）xxx怎么怎么样，doing（这个我好像懂，是伴随吧？）
但是有些时候是说xxx怎么怎么样， and required to...
然后还有一种情况是 ：xxx怎么怎么样and, yyy....这个and又跑到逗号前面去了。。。例句的话如og51原题：a new study suggests that the conversationalpace of everyday life may be so brisk that it hampers the ability of somechildren to distinguish discrete sounds and words and, the result is, to make sense of speech

我问问题的方式可能有些难懂，但是总结就一句话
就是这个and阿  我都不知道什么时候加 加哪儿？
什么时候不加？如果不加的话，后面那个动词或主动或被动或ing到底是怎么决定的？

NO.7
关于关系代词which的用法
如果有个例句是这样的：
xxx that ….related to yyy, which grows…这里的which 是否是针对yyy（就是仅靠which前方的一个单词）？
xxx that….related to yyy, growing…这里的growing 是否是针对整个句子？

谢谢谢谢～！！！

as big as能比较长度吗？

rather to come形成转折，句意不对，股票市场有信心-经济避免衰退，（从而）软着陆。
"rather to come" and "to avoid the recession" 形成平行结构和句意不符

前面确实修饰scholars，但是不是scholars are based on...，scholars are basing on....
