请问大家有没有一个说法是,in that 优于for 优于because 优于because of 的,因为之前我们老师是这么说的,然后做题也一直很顺,直到看到了这道题:
The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month.
(A) world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month
(B) world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival's month
(C) world when they proclaimed a sacred truce for the festival month
(D) world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival
(E) world by proclamation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival
以下是gmac给的解释:
Idiom; Rhetorical construction
This sentence depends on using the correct conjunction to join two independent clauses. In that is a conjunction that means inasmuch as; because in that has largely gone out of use, it is considered stilted and overly formal. It also uses two words when one would do. In this sentence, the second clause explains the first one, so the conjunction for, meaning because, is the most appropriate choice for joining the two independent clauses of the compound sentence. Festival's month is an awkward and imprecise use of the possessive; during the month of the festival is clearer.
A In that is stilted and overly formal.
B It is not clear who would be doing the proclaiming; a clause is preferable to a phrase here.
C They is ambiguous, possibly referring to either the states or the Games. The phrase truce for the festival month loses the sense that
it's to take place for the duration of the month.
D Correct. In this sentence, the conjunction for joins the two clauses correctly and economically.
E Wordy and awkward construction.
A的选项解释是太僵硬不自然而且过于正式,所以大家能回答我一下是不是真的没有这个规律:in that 优于for 优于because 优于because of ?
谢谢啦~
