[讨论]OG11th-8

Did MM refer to OG10-37:

37.   While some academicians believe that business ethics should be integrated into every business course, others say that students will take ethics seriously only if it would be taught as a separately required course.

(A) only if it would be taught as a separately required course

(B) only if it is taught as a separate, required course

(C) if it is taught only as a course required separately

(D) if it was taught only as a separate and required course（B）

(E) if it would only be taught as a required course, separately

Also, the intended meaning is distorted when the adverb separately is used to modify required, as in A and C, or taught, as in E; B correctly uses the adjective separate to modify course.

Some thoughts:

Rising inventories: an ongoing action

increased sales: a finished action, more focus on the "increased" state rather than the increase action.

Thus, corresponding increase is prefered to correspondingly increased to match with rising.

那如果将OG11-8的D选项改成

if not accompanied by corespondingly increasing sales, can lead

是否可以成立呢？

个人觉得corresponding increases in sales优于correspondingly increased sales(抽象名词优于分词)

再将尘封的帖子顶上来

小弟在此想请教：

"WHEN is used to refer to a condition"。有关这句OG中的解释不是很明白。

如果将此题选项E的IF换成WHEN是否一样成立呢？

OG11中的原话是 When indicates a period of time; if indicates a condition.

看了一遍帖子,这两个问题还是不太明白:

1.when/if引导条件状语从句:按og的说法when只能引导时间状从,只有if引导条件状从?但好像实际中用when也很多啊!是否gmat就是这么要求的?

2.句子的主语中心词到底是rising inventories还是inventories啊?rising inventories指一种情况,那就是单数了.如果rising是修饰inventories那就是复数了...这要怎么区分呢?我怎么觉得逻辑上来说前一种比较好啊...

 有没有人知道，主语到底是谁呢？我也觉得rising inventories 应该是主语，这样表达单数意思，谓语可以用单数啊．不可能只是＂库存＂导致．．．应该是＂增加的库存＂导致．．．

再顶！！我也同样有次疑惑。但是我是这样理解的：

如果rising inventories是主语的话，即用做单数，应该强调rising 这一动词，故选E，和increase in sales 中的increase 对应，且后面动词用can lead 也是成立的；

如果inventories 是主语的话，即用作复数，应该强调“增加的库存”，故应和D中的increasd sales中的sales 对应，但后面的动词leads 错了，应该改为lead .

但是疑问在于不可能同时两种主语都对吧，是否可能如果rising inventories 做主语的话，应该是rising inventory 呢？

请NN指教

1 理解ambiguously倒是很容易。在张道真语法说，副词修饰动词，通常位于动词后面。这里，correspondingly在unaccompanied后面在语法上面并没有，incorrect在哪里？

2同楼上的问题一样。

我也不明白主语的问题。

探讨为什么说：unaccompanied correspondingly是awkward and ambigious的

 

查了longman, 发现corresponding有以下两种解释：

 

cor‧re‧spon‧ding
                    [only before noun]

1
                caused by or connected with something you have already mentioned:

The war, and the corresponding fall in trade, have had a devastating effect on the country.

 

2
                having similar qualities or a similar size, position etc to something else [= equivalent]:

Sales are up 10% on the corresponding period last year.

 

对于选项A来说，correspondingly只能与第一种解释相联系，但rising inventories与increases in sales两者本身按照原句的逻辑，应该是没有任何必然联系的，所以correspondingly修饰unaccompanied是ambigious的。

而选项E，corresponding修饰increases, 应该就是取第二个解释了，清晰明了。

 

至于选项D/E的区别，非常赞同16楼的解释，有豁然开朗的感觉。
