21号就要考试了，有些争议T还没弄懂，这里一个，只问一个知识点，讨论帖都看过了还是没搞清，不甘心就开了新帖，望BZ见谅~

GWD-11-Q10:

Marconi’s conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is precisely the opposite, a tool for communicating with a large, public audience.

1. Marconi’s conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is
   
2. Marconi conceived of the radio as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, but which is
   
3. Marconi conceived of the radio as a tool for private conversation that could substitute for the telephone; instead, it has become
   
4. Marconi conceived of the radio to be a tool for private conversation, a substitute for the telephone, which has become
   
5. Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than what it is,

CDers大多支持C，我选E

前面的讨论中有个GG说：

这道题的C选项有个严重的意思错误：

原文： a tool for private conversation是修饰telephone,而C选项却用去修饰a radio.

我觉得很有道理，但是NN讨论的时候都没指出来，请问该处应该如何理解啊？

还有E中的it算不算多余？前面都没人回答过的...

E. conceive of something/somebody as something

不是 conceive of ... to be ... 所以 E 不对。

谢谢BZ指点！

但是我还是没弄懂C中的逻辑意思问题~~

我不同意以下观点：

原文： a tool for private conversation是修饰telephone,而C选项却用去修饰a radio.

我认为：

a tool for private conversation 应该是radio 的同位语，这样的话才和未划线部分a tool....取得逻辑意思上的一致。

即：the radio （was as a substitute for the telephone）, a tool for private conversation; instead, it （it指代radio) is precisely the opposite, a tool for communicating with a large, public audience.

本句的focus 应该是：关于radio设计初衷和实际发展的对比，因此个人感觉句子在整体结构上要平衡。

另外，处理此题，我个人步骤为：

1，to be 要用as 替换，排除DE。

2，A的名词短语表述没有BCDE到位，另外，由BC的as和DE的to be 是明显的考点标志，所以排除A。

3，B中的but which... 属于定语从句指代模糊。

得到选项C，此时对句子结构，意思并不是很了解。但是，我一直觉得YMH讲对有道理，做SC最重要的就是思路简洁，原则明确。

希望大家讨论，并祝楼主GMAT 700++。
