15. Nebraska has floods in some years, _____. (A) in others drought (B) droughts are others (C) while other droughts (D) others in drought 答案是A 想問一下適用麼語法規則 我看不懂這一題
謝謝
A is correct. 这一题是很少见的题形.
1. A is fine. It is called the 'some... others...' pattern. When we use 'some' and 'others,' we can omit a conjunction. Here are some examples: Some people like potatoes, other people like rice. We do not need to use a conjunction here.
Some people like potatoes, other people, rice. Some people like potatoes, others, rice.
the full sentence is "Nebraska has floods in some years, and it has drought in others".
2. why it is "drought", not "droughts" to logically agree with the "floods" in the first clause?
The answer is ======>"drought" can be count or non-count; both "drought" and "droughts" would therefore be correct in this sentence.
