靠选项间比较, 逻辑, 和语感.
196: once existed 修饰land, 不是bridge. bridge of也是修饰land的. What kind of a land? It’s a land in bridge shape. 一个modifier, 一个noun, 所以被once existed修饰的对象是land. 如果是a piece of land, 你就不会太疑问了吧, 不太会有东东再修饰piece吧. 哈哈. A bridge of land 是同样道理.
21: ownership of land, “of land” 是修饰ownership的. Ownership of what? Oh, it’s a ownership of the land. 这里重心是ownership. 那为什么有歧义呢. 因为修饰词, land, 也有被修饰的可能. 如果有这样两个句子:
1) ownership of land that was once belonged to Israel – 到底是ownership belonged to Israel, 还是land belonged to Israel. 逻辑上大大不同, 如果是ownership, but not land, belonged to Israel说明Israel强了人家的地. Land, but not ownership, belonged to Israel说明Israel被别人扒了. 呵呵.
2) piece of land that was once belonged to Israel – 比较清楚,没什么可歧义的.
再重申一下, 逻辑和语感是多重要啊, 当然选项间比较对GMAT来说是最重要的. 语言是活的, 不像数学公式, 1 就是1, 0就是0.
