发现OG206和OG167有点问题！大

206. Like Auden. the language of James Merrill is chatty, arch, and conversational--given to complex syntactic flights as well as to prosaic free-verse strolls.

(A)              Like Auden, the language of James Merrill

(B)              Like Auden, James Merrill's language

(C)             Like Auden's, James Merrill's language

(D)             As with Auden, James Merrill's language

(E)              As is Auden's the language of James Merrill

At issue is a comparison of Auden's language with Merrill's language. Only C, the best choice, uses the elliptical like Auden's (language being understood), to compare Auden's language with Merrill's language. A, B, and D compare Auden (the person) with Merrill's language. Choice E is awkward and unidiomatic.

看过白勇的书和以前一个大N说过：'s的省咯结构要想成立，必须有一个完整的's结构表明省掉了什么。本题答案是C很好说明了这一点，那么下边的OG167却不是这个规则，怎么办呢？

167. Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembled those of the apes and so were probably without language, a shortcoming that may explain why they were supplanted by our own species.

(A)            Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembled those of the apes

(B)            Neanderthals had a vocal tract resembling an ape's

(C)            The vocal tracts of Neanderthals resembled an ape's

(D)            The Neanderthal's vocal tracts resembled the apes’

(E)            The vocal tracts of the Neanderthals resembled those of the apes

答案B

第二题里说明了AN APE'S后面省略的是 A VOCAL TRACT，是正解。个人认为改错题意永远是重于形式的，两种形式都说明了A具有B也具有的属性。形式可以多种多样，但实质是一样的。

不好意思　　还是不解啊？难道这个规则不对了？

不要迷信黄金规则，答案是比较出来的。

可是这一点是出自ＯＧ的解释啊！

由此只能判断此规则是effective的判断标准，而不是correct的标准了。

if those
    规则 were not from ETS or Grammar books, 全当是个人看法而不是规则.
