To believe in Santa Claus as an adult is highly unusual.答案给出来它是对的……我觉得as an adult介词短语修饰(无逗号分开)应该紧跟被修饰词的呀~~放在这里可以修饰Santa Claus也可以修饰believe in Santa Claus的人吧?
答案给出的解释:
While it's true that an adjective clause must come immediately after the specific noun it describes, an exception is made when there is no way to move a clause closer to the noun without changing the meaning of the sentence. This usually occurs when a prepositional phrase modifies the noun as well. In this case, it's true that the prep phrase "in Santa Claus" comes between "believe" and the adjective clause, "as an adult," but this is acceptable because we could not move the prep phrase anywhere else in the sentence without making the sentence less clear (it would instead read: "To believe as an adult in Santa Claus is highly unusual"). As long as the reference is clear and unambiguous, something like Choice E is acceptable.
读好多遍没明白这个解释……
请教NN们~~谢谢啦!
