727. Because an oversupply of computer chips has sent prices plunging, the manufacturer

has announced that it will cut production by closing its factories for two days a

month.

A. Because an oversupply of computer chips has sent prices plunging,

B. Because of plunging prices for computer chips, which is due to an oversupply,

C. Because computer chip prices have been sent plunging, which resulted from an

oversupply,

D. Due to plunging computer chip prices from an oversupply,

E. Due to an oversupply, with the result that computer chip prices have been sent

plunging,

打眼一看是考because和due to区别的题。之前记得due to=caused by，而且because of后面不能加Ving，所以除了B，剩下四个在这个考点都没什么问题。

所以我想当然选了D，因为最简洁而且看上去没什么错误。

A 我觉得oversupply sent prices plunging怪怪的就没选

B which指代prices（这里prices后面跟了介词+名词短语，所以which可以跳跃指代）所以应该用are而非is，排除

C which指代prices，不能说prices由于oversupply怎么样，排除

E太wordy

但是后来看CD上的讨论明白了为什么不能选D：D的意思是oversupply导致plunging computer chip prices，而什么oversupply了？没说。 原意应该是oversupply of computer chips导致prices plunging。

所以以后做题时遇到选项间语序的改变时要特别注意语序的差异会不会（往往会）导致句意的差异或者ambiguous。

According to scientists who monitored its path, an expanding cloud of energized particles ejected from the Sun recently triggered a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds earth, which brightened the Northern Lights and also possibly knocking out a communications satellite.

A : an expanding cloud of energized particles ejected from the Sun recently triggered a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds earth, which brightened the Northern Lights and also possibly knocking
B : an expanding cloud of energized particles ejected from the Sun was what recently triggered a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds earth, and it brightened the Northern Lights and also possibly knocked
C : an expanding cloud of energized particles ejected from the Sun recently triggered a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds earth, brightening the Northern Lights and possibly knocking
D : a large storm in the magnetic field that surrounds Earth, recently triggered by an expanding cloud of energized particles, brightened the Northern Lights and it possibly knocked
E : a large storm in the magnetic field surrounding Earth was recently triggered by an expanding cloud of energized particles, brightening the Northern Lights and it possibly knocked

这道题我选了D，因为觉得应该是storm才能够brighten和knocked...但是显然是我傻了，主语应该是cloud【单数！】


而且D有好几处致命漏洞：

1.逗号后面的句子是一个independent clause，所以不能说这句话是作者自己的观点还是从观察中得出的结论

2. it指代不明 前面没有唯一确定的antecedent，因为particles和storms都是复数，不能用it作代词！！！

3.当我们在说A, and B的时候，说明A和B是独立不一定相关的（也就是说两个独立句必须用comma+FANBOYS隔开）

同时用一个it可以排除B/D/E 还剩A/C

A的which指代错误 本意不是用来指代earth的但是A里指代了earth，杀。

所以选C

今天学到的方法记录一下：
1. 语法题不要逐句通读，而是先读完原句后把五个句子拆分成很多竖条读；
2. 练pace：把时间隐藏然后每做十道题track一下时间，如果前十道题过慢或者过快就要靠后面来及时调整
3. GMAT.la上的og解析很好

贴一段gmatclub上关于working verb的解释

WORKING VERB
A verb that could be the main verb of a grammatical sentence. A working verb shows tense, mood, and voice, as well as number and person in some circumstances. The use of this term helps to distinguish working verb from verbals, which cannot by themselves be the main verb of a sentence.

VERBAL
A word or phrase that is derived from a verb and that funcitons as a different part of speech in the sentence: as a noun, as an adjective (noun modifier), or as an adverb (verb modifier).
Ex:
Infinitive: He likes to walk to the store.
Gerund: I enjoy walking.
Present Participle: She is on a walking tour.
Past Participle: The facts given in the case are clear.

*******
the main thing to remember is that a working verb "works"--it DOES what a verb is supposed to do--express the action of the sentence. A verbal, by contrast, does NOT "work" as a verb--it's moonlighting as something else, even though it may bear a superficial resemblance to a working verb.

In practice, the test-writers may try to slip in a distractor that only contains a verbal, not a working verb-- a sentence MUST have a verb to be a complete sentence. Another way of thinking about it is that a sentence MUST have a WORKING VERB to WORK--accept no imitation (verbals).

贴一道难题：
To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, and she remained in France during the Second World War as a performer and an intelligence agent for the Resistance
A. To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate
B. For Joshephine baker, long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, paris was her home
C. Joshephine baker made Paris her home long before to be an expatriate was fashionable
D. Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home
E. Long before it was fashionable being an expatriate, Paris was home to Josephine Baker

我的理解：
A. to do结构做主语嘛？要知道to do结构是可以做主语的！！
>>>>>在A里，Paris做主语，但是平行结构后面she指代的对象是KB而不是Paris，所以属于不平行
B里主语也是Paris（记住介词短语都不可能是主语啊啊啊啊）
而且代词her在B里没有antecedent，因为for JB是介词短语，而介词短语里的名词不能做antecedent
C.不定式结构不能接在介词后面
D.it在句中是形式主语（placeholder)，所以不存在没有antecedent的情况

E.主语是Paris可是and平行结构后面代词是she，不平行

一道难题：
Although she was considered among her contemporaries to be the better poet than her husband, later Elizabeth Barrett Browning was overshadowed by his success.
A. Although she was considered among her contemporaries to be the better poet than her husband, later Elizabeth Barrett Browning was overshadowed by his success.
B. Although Elizabeth Barrett Browning was considered among her contemporaries as a better poet than her husband, she was later overshadowed by his success.
C. Later overshadowed by the success of her husband, Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry had been considered among her contemporaries to be better than that of her husband.
D. Although Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s success was later overshadowed by that of her husband, among her contemporaries she was considered the better poet.
E. Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry was considered among her contemporaries as better than her husband, but her success was later overshadowed by his.


split：consider to be/consider+n/consider as; 除了consider+n应该剩下两个都可以
         EBB was overshadowed by his success/EBB's success was overshadowed by that of her husband.
比较对象
A.EBB和his success比较，错误
B.同A，错误；
C.同A，错误；
D.比较正确
E.平行错误，her语法上应该指代EBB， 但是主句主语是EBB's poetry
选D
