但是正确答案里面的but this的this不会指代不明么，感觉在指代前面一整个句子啊

this 应该指代的是前面说的整个事件。不是特定的某一个事物。通常情况下this指代不明是说指代的是某个物。因为书面语没法用手指“这个东西”“那个东西”，到底哪个东西？
但是this用来指整个事件就没问题。一共就说了一件事。

蟹蟹你，我看到之前的一道题目，解析里面说BE的and this里的this不能裸奔，如果要指代前面整句，需加上别的概括性名词组成 this + n，好困惑
By sucking sap from the young twigs of the hemlock tree, tree growth is retarded by the woolly adelgid, causing needles to change color from deep green to grayish green and to drop prematurely.
A tree growth is retarded by the woolly adelgid, causing needles to change color from deep green to grayish green and to drop
B tree growth is retarded by the woolly adelgid, and this causes the color of needles to change from deep green to grayish green, and their dropping
C the woolly adelgid retards tree growth, which causes needles to change color from deep green to grayish green, and dropping
D the woolly adelgid retards tree growth, causing needles to change color from deep green to grayish green and to drop
E the woolly adelgid retards tree growth, and this causes the color of needles to change from deep green to grayish green, and the their dropping

em....咋说呢。。我感觉解析也都不一定准吧。。毕竟都是揣摩GMAC老头的出题方式的。
而且，一般来说this不优选吧。如果别的选项更好，何必纠结这个小点？我做题的感觉就是要先按照平行，修饰这些大的语法点走，没有这些再看小点。有时候感觉GMAC老头出题总是会颠覆。。没有啥特别模式化的东西。
还有就是：记得RON说过，指代就考察两点：是否指代名词，是否指代后面单复数一致。很少考察指代歧义什么的。。而这道题考的是指代本身的用法，，估计更不是考点了。。
只是我自己个人的见解啊。。我也才学了2-3个月左右。。更多的还是等NN们来吧~

立志成为小贝壳

感觉this指代是不是不清楚应该放在最后考虑，本来前面就只有一件事情，然后其他选项都有致命错误，跟其它选项的错误相比这个小问题就没那么重要了吧。。我觉得是这样

用Ron神的说法是可以，但是一般情况下错误答案伴随着更加明显的错误。

that没遇见过 this、these和those在正确答案中都出现过裸奔的情况，也就是说，可以裸奔。

OG中有一道题目 this 裸奔是错误的， 正确答案是B
Because there are provisions of the new maritime code that provide that even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas, they have already stimulated international disputes over uninhabited islands.
A. Because there are provisions of the new maritime code that provide that even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas, they have already stimulated
B. Because the new maritime code provides that even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas, it has already stimulated
C. Even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas under provisions of the new maritime code, already stimulating
D. Because even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas under provisions of the new maritime code, this has already stimulated
E. Because even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas under provisions of the new maritime code, which is already

这道OG题目 OG解析对于选项D的解释是：The referent of this is unclear.
Ron 对于选项D中" this ” 的解释是：
RON:
This has already stimulated disputes.
On its own, this cannot serve as a subject.
On the GMAT, this can serve only as a MODIFIER.
Correct: THIS BOOK is popular.
Here, book is the subject, while this correctly serves as an adjective describing the book.

如果说这道OG2020新题中，  正确答案 this 裸奔是可以被接受的， 那是不是说明 this 裸奔在GMAT不是绝对错误考点， 不应该单纯以这个来排除选项？

请问Ron神在哪道题上说是可以的？

我之前做了一道OG题， 看到外网上 Ron 对于 this 的说法是：
RON:
This has already stimulated disputes.
On its own, this cannot serve as a subject.
On the GMAT, this can serve only as a MODIFIER.
Correct: THIS BOOK is popular.
Here, book is the subject, while this correctly serves as an adjective describing the book.、

没太明白你的意思，这道题里面的this选项不是错误的嘛？你的意思是假设正确选项是D？

我自己在做题的时候是不用this来排除，因为确实在官方题目（好像还是OG）里面见到过this裸奔的情况。做这个题目的时候，我看了之前自己整理的题目笔记，也没有用this来排除。因为D选项介词短语放在句尾可以修饰整句话也可以修饰前面紧邻的名词，这个修饰歧义还是挺明显的。B就没有这个问题。另一方面，从我个人的角度来看，D选项的this读起来更像是指代前面一整句话即“在某个条款下XXX”，这件事情引起了争端。

具体是哪个题目出现了this裸奔，我真的想不起来了，你可以自己搜索一下，我确信CD已经发过的帖子里面有的。

最后，我的建议是，有其他错误的时候，不要用this裸奔来排除。就好像不要轻易用指代不清来排除一样，因为各种情况下都出现过正确答案，你不知道是GMAC给你挖的坑还是真的就是解题点。
