OG13 Q60

60. The Olympic Gameshelped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacredtruce was proclaimed during the festival’s month.

(A) world in that  a sacred truce was proclaimed during thefestival’s month

(C) world when they  proclaimed a sacred truce for  the festival month

(D) world, for a sacredtruce was proclaimed during the month of the festival

(E) world by proclamationof a sacr ed truce that was for  themonth of the festival

OG上解释" Festival's month is an awkward andimprecise useof the possessive; during the month of the festival is clearer."

谢谢!

建议看一下曼哈顿的SC，里面说过，time period还有什么measurement的词【应该还有一个，是不是quantity我忘 ...

多谢！ 找到 Mahanttan的解释了：

Moreover, you should not collapse certain prepositional phrases into Noun-Adjectives. Whenever
you have a time period, quantity, or other measurement as the first word, keep the prepositional
phrase with o f Never modify a measurement using a Noun-Adjective. Also, you should generally avoid
using a possessive to modify a measurement. Study the examples in the table below.
Too Short Better
Memorial Day week the week OF Memorial Dav
OR Memorial Day's week
the merger year the year OF the merger
the oxygen amount the amount OF oxygen
the honeybee population density the density OF the honeybee population
OR the honeybee population's density

建议看一下曼哈顿的SC，里面说过，time period还有什么measurement的词【应该还有一个，是不是quantity我忘了】，不要用possessive来修饰，因为这样会too short!   这些词最好都用of-phrase，这道题的month是time period，所以是month of festival
