1.Although it claims to delve into political issues, television can be superficial such as when each of the three major networks broadcast exactly the same statement from a political candidate.
(A) superficial such as（没有举例）when each of the three major networks
(B) superficial, as can sometimes occur if all of the three major networks
(C) superficial if the three major networks all
(D) superficial whenever each of the three major networks（E）
              (E) superficial, as when the three major networks each

答案选E，但是我觉得E选项的谓语单复数不对啊，请NN看看

司马忆云

懂了，谢谢了

evysy

是滴，因为这种情况下each是可以省略不看的

司马忆云

MM，你是说networks each就应该用复数形式了？？

evysy

A选项 of 后面是用来修饰each的
也就是说A是: each (主语）broadcast

E选项则是networks (主语) broadcast
each 是修饰 networks

evysy

因为networks是主语啊，each of smth. 不等于 smth. each：

each of the three major networks - singular
the three major networks each - plural

examples:
each of the students - singular
the students each - plural

generic pattern:
each (of the/pronoun/any determiner) [noun] - singular
[noun] each - plural

但是E选项最后不也用了each了么？那么broadcast不是也应该谓语单数

evysy

哪有单复数不对？
Although it claims..., television can be superficial, as WHEN the three major NETWORKS BROADCAST... the same statement.

television claims
但是
networks broadcast

还有A错，其实是因为单复数问题，不是举例问题：
... each of the three major networks 后面应该是 broadcasts (each...broadcasts)
而没画线的部分是broadcast，说明不能使用each。
