Whether they will scale back their orders to pre-2003 levels or stop doing business with us altogether depends on whether the changes that their management has proposed will be fully implemented.
A)Whether they will scale back their orders to pre-2003 levels or stop doing business with us altogether depends on whether the changes that their management has proposed will be fully implemented.
B)Whether they scale back their orders to pre-2003 levels or whether they discontinue their business with us altogether depends on the changes their management has proposed, if fully implemented or not.
OA:A
我对这个altogether的修饰有点不解,一开始看到B我以为,它说的是「Whether they scale back their orders to pre-2003 levels」和「whether they discontinue their business」这两件事「altogether」都是由XXX决定。但是B是用or连接的,如果是这个意思的话,应该用and连接;谓语也应该是depend而不是depends;且B最后的if也奇奇怪怪的。
ADV You use altogether to emphasize that something has stopped, been done, or finished completely. 完全地
例:
When Artie stopped calling altogether, Julie found a new man.
当阿蒂彻底不再来拜访后,朱莉又找了个男人。
