求助OG12verbal--84关于that的问题

stellapass

The computer company's present troubles are a result of technological stagnation, markteing missteps, and mangerial blunders so that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to coorect it.
A so that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to coorect it.
B so that several attempt at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct
C in that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct them
D that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct
E that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct them
选D
在OG的解释中，correct后的宾语是that，我以为that的先行词是前面的a result ，然后做correct的宾语，不知道这样理解对不对，对整个句子的把握都有点模糊，请大家指教~~

今天刷OG--VERBAL发现当时争议的that修饰问题，在OG上有解释“this sentences lists three causes of the company's troubles and asserts that strageies to correct the causes of the problems have failed . The clearest, most efficient way to this is to refer to the causes with the relative pronoun that",这么看来that应该修饰的是troubles 了~~

你理解不对吧。
The clearest, most efficient way to explain this is to refer to the causes with the relative pronoun that，也就是说that指代的是three causes of the company’s troubles，也就是指代technological stagnation, marketing missteps, and managerial blunders这一堆，并不是修饰troubles啊

so that连用，后面表示做sty的目的吧！  所以不选ab！

求解 是不是主系表结构表示一种状态，因此不能导致某些结果呢？

句子顺序可以改为
The computer company's present troubles （ that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct
） are a result of technological stagnation, markteing missteps, and mangerial blunders 。
这样清晰一些了

正解。

哈哈，你的意思我懂~~我觉得你的解释使这个句子清晰不少，而且逻辑比较通顺了。只不过题目当中这种修饰成分后置的情况比较少，GMAT往往都是修饰成分紧跟修饰语~

嗯 确实不常见因为容易歧义。不过你可以参考下manhattan语法的chapter12  里面提到了若修饰语过长则允许修饰语后置，还给出了例句：A new CEO has been hired who will transform the company......

mahattan也提到这只能应用于没有歧义的情况哦~比如像ls举出的粒子，因为who只能指代人，而前面只有一个指人的CEO，所以修饰语能够后置。
在84题里，从语法上来说that既可以修饰result，也可以修饰troubles，还可以修饰blunders，很明显会引起歧义啊~因此根据gmat里修饰语通常修饰离其最近的名词这一习惯，个人支持是修饰blunders

嗯，找到了，原来在 berbal 版本上，有定论就好，记住就是了

讲讲我的想法：
1. attempt to do 和 attempt at doing 用法上的问题，没看到大家讨论，刚才 Google 了一下，attempt at doing 也没说是错误用法，暂且认为是没有问题的。

2. that 定语从句修饰对象的问题：这里紧跟 blunder，有没有嫌疑只是修饰blunder的？像这种并列的3个东西，句子愿意肯定是that 同时修饰3个的，that 能做定语从句同时修饰他们3个吗？语法上有没有问题？会不会歧义？

3. 从句意上理解：company 有 3 个 troubles，通过 revise strategies 失败了
a. 如果 that 定语从句修饰 3 个troubles，那句子意思就是：company 有 3 个 通过revise strategy 不能correct的 troubles。这还是在 that 定语从句没有 歧义的assumption上
b. 如果把后面分句当成结果看，so that 意思：以至于；那句子意思就变成：company 有 3 个 troubles，这些 troubles 是 xxx，xxx，and xxx，以至于 company 在 revise strategy 上的努力失败了，因为strategy 和 这3个troubles是不同的东西，你对象都搞错了，能不fail 吗

所以，从句子逻辑意义上讲，我还是倾向于 so that 的，也就是 B 选项

还有楼主说这是 OG12 里的题，我怎么没搜到呀？题号 verbal 84 也不是

-- by 会员 garlicwu (2011/8/11 2:43:13)

这确实是OG12--verbalSC 84的题啦。
OG对于B选项的解释为“The conjunction so is inappropriate because no consequences are given; the verb correct has on object"
