Although appearing less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year—they are often green and striped, or have plenty of bumps and bruises—heirlooms are more flavorful and thus in increasing demand.
OG13-132: Although appearing less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year – they are often green and striped, or have plenty of bumps and bruises-heirlooms are more flavorful and thus in increasing demand.
A Although appearing less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year B Although heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year, appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins C Although they appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year D Grown from seeds saved during the previous year, heirloom tomatoes appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins E Heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year, although they appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins
A:Although appearing less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year
A选项although后面的省略是对的,即把主语和谓语省略掉(不懂的自行刷prep08),但!!在although这个分句完的时候,出现了该分句的主语HT,因此就不符合although引导让步状语从句省略的规则(主语谓语要省一起省,否则都别省),所以这里出现了大家所说的缺少谓语。。我觉得这样分析才是对的。
C:Although they appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year
这里大家应该明显看的出错误,即although已经有了主语,但是在后面又出现了主语HT,正如OG13解释中所提“superfluous”
D:Grown from seeds saved during the previous year, heirloom tomatoes appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins
小弟一开始就是选D的,因为当时写的时候在BD之前徘徊,而且回顾到“modifier1, S, modifier2, V..."这种格式能减少异议,所以就选了D。。。之后才发现,,,我犯了严重的错误,即选D的话,2个句子没有连词,这不是开玩笑呢么。。。所以我还是缺少那种关注”未划线部分“的能力。。。
E:Heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year, although they appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins
该错误跟C差不多,就是出现了2个主语。
baby姐我还有个疑问,这里的正确答案b. Although heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year, appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins – they are often green and striped, or have plenty of bumps and bruises – heirlooms are more flavorful and thus in increasing demand.
这个they are often green and striped紧跟着round and red supermarket cousins, 让我忍不住感觉这个they就是修饰cousins的.虽然从逻辑的角度讲这个they修饰heirloom tomatoes,意思是heirloom颜色发绿而且带条纹blablabla但heirloom好吃所以需求量大增.这个b选项的cousins紧挨they不会引起歧义么?
谢谢!
