会长美美哒

A. rules intended to ensure that at least one nurse is assigned for every four patients put through triage in a hospital emergency room
The state has proposed new rules that would set minimum staffing levels for nurses, rules intended to ensure that at least one nurse is assigned for every four patients put through triage in a hospital
B. rules with the intent of ensuring one nurse at least to be assigned for every four patients to be put through triage in a hospital emergency room
C. rules intending to ensure at least one nurse is assigned for every four patients in a hospital emergency room put through triage
D. with the intent of ensuring that at least one nurse should be assigned for every four patients in a hospital emergency room that are put through triage
E. and this is intended to ensure one nurse at least to be assigned for every four patients put through triage in a hospital emergency room



正确答案 A

问题点是 A选项 rules intended怎么是对的？！.... 本以为rule后面也是这种常规用法 law/directive/campaign doing …也应该是rules intending 就飞快没看A了。
落到C上，其他C的错误点不管哈，就是rule intending这个，看prep08解释是 “intending是rules的作者发出的而非 rules,只能用A的intended to;”

请问cder，这是rule这个词比较独特不适合后面接ing。。还是intend特殊一点？
因为真要讲物体不能发出动作的话，确实跟常规例子不符呀？

今天突然翻到ron的解释
i think i see the problem here -- i think you're trying to figure these things out without thinking about the [size=14.0084px]meaning of the sentence. in other words, it appears that you think there are just grammar rules that you can memorize regarding these modifiers; sorry, but that's impossible.
you have to [size=14.0084px]understand the intended meaning to figure out which of these modifiers should be used.

[size=14.0084px]NOUN + verbING is an *active voice* modifier; it indicates that the NOUN is the person/thing that actually *does* the action indicated by the verb.
so, [size=14.0084px]rules regulating ... is logical, because rules *do* this -- i.e., they regulate things.
[size=14.0084px]rules intending ... is absurd -- rules don't have intentions of their own. (the [size=14.0084px]people who make the rules have intentions; the rules don't have intentions.)

[size=14.0084px]NOUN + verbED is a *passive voice* modifier; it indicates that the NOUN is the person/thing *to whom/which* the action is done.
so, [size=14.0084px]rules regulated ... doesn't make sense, because the rules themselves regulate things. if you use an -ed modifier in this case, you get the strange idea that someone or something actually has to regulate the rules.
[size=14.0084px]rules intended ... does make sense, because some person intends that the rules do certain things.

another example:
[size=14.0084px]a person driving in a taxicab is the actual driver of the taxicab.
[size=14.0084px]a person driven in a taxicab is a passenger. ("driven" is an irregular form, but it functions in the same way as an -ed modifier)

i hope this makes more sense now.

希望看到的能有帮助。

08也不是说的都对，c有连词吗？one nurse is assigned ，难道不run on？盯着ed，ing，死扣无关紧要细节中招

嗯run on其实并没有。不需要连词。 不看C的其它错误点了哈。

就是对rule intending 的错误点有疑惑。。好总结运用。

固定搭配已经越来越不被GMAC作为考察内容了。一个错误的选项必然有不止一个错误，但是既然GMAT考试只给一道题90秒的时间去做，那么考察的就必然不是测试者的语法知识的全面性，而是测试者是否可以一眼看出这道题的Decision Point在哪里。
以本题为例：
A. rules intended to ensure that at least one nurse is assigned for every four patients put through triage in a hospital emergency room
B. rules with the intent of ensuring one nurse at least to be assigned for every four patients to be put through triage in a hospital emergency room
C. rules intending to ensure at least one nurse is assigned for every four patients in a hospital emergency room put through triage
D. with the intent of ensuring that at least one nurse should be assigned for every four patients in a hospital emergency room that are put through triage
E. and this is intended to ensure one nurse at least to be assigned for every four patients put through triage in a hospital emergency room
at least和put through tiage都是修饰词，其中at least是介短，取决于其在句中的位置，at least既可以是定语也可以是状语，此题中BE中at least是状语修饰assign，而ACD中是状语修饰one；而put through triage作为后置定语有修饰其紧跟名词的功能，位置不同同样可以导致其修饰不同的名词，此题中ABE put through triage修饰patients，而CD中其修饰emergency room。
根据以上分组：我们可以根据逻辑意思判断根据at least的位置，ACD正确；而根据put through triage的位置ABE正确。交集是A，故A是正确答案。

这是这道题GMAC本来要考察的内容，除此之外的“语法错误”都是为了迷惑考生随机加入的（否则选项就没有区别了）。如果你还在纠结rules用to do还是doing或者with修饰，就说明你离搞清楚GMAT的考察目的还有很远的距离。
切记GMAT SC不是语法考试！否则Sentence Correction为什么不叫Grammar?

谢谢你。指出其它错误点。

首三词这样的明显splits不拿来快速排除，有点可惜呀。。。
其实去找at least 和首三其实实质都一样。任何语法错误不就是语义表达不精准造成的？ 能快就快嘛

大家暂时忽略其它，关注问的问题嘛 这简直让我想起CR做题，出现无关了。。。

你觉得考试GMAC会给你一个1/1/1/1/1的split? 你做做prep12的SC试一下看这种情况会不会出现。
我想告诉你的是：你的关注点放错地方了。当然，如果你不认同，坚持认为这种一步到位的split在考试中也会出现的话，我也没办法。

嗯谢谢！ 其实我就想知道这个语法点而已哈。。把题抛开不管那种。
