885 SEC D-5/make

tobytao

个人感觉：

因为原句强调inevitable, BDE都没有那个味儿....

fuyun

only C is correct

Choice B, made ...events ... foreshortened  使事件缩短

Choice C, make the foreshortening of ...inevitable  使缩短不可避免

句子意思变化

顾风

还是有疑问，

(E) inevitably foreshortens dramatized historical events

的用法如果把foreshortens 改为foreshorten是否可行？

higeo

"made ...events ... foreshortened" is unidiomatic

you can concisely say

"foreshotened(v)... events" such as (D)(E), although they are wrong for other reasons

GMAT语法中有make sth + sth, make sth + adj.这样的结构，但是没有make sth done这种用法。XDF讲的，说记着就行了。

以下是引用gemj在2003-10-20 16:40:00的发言：
除了时态错误外，
made dramatized historical events inevitably foreshortened
还是显得别扭。

请教GEMJ,这里原文没有明显提示要用一般式啊,为什么说时态错误呢??

抛开时态，我还是觉得B不如C好，因为B的结构是：
make something done
这个结构好象没有见过，在词典上也没有找到。我觉得如果要表达这样的意思，应该用:
have something done
字典上有
make somebody/something do something
be made to do something
的结构，见下例：
I like him because he makes me laugh.
I was made to wait four hours before I was examined by a doctor.

貌似OG里有make sth done的例子，不知道到底什么比较可靠了。。。

9. As the price of gasoline rises, which makes substituting alcohol distilled from cereal grain attractive, the prices of bread and livestock feed are sure to increase.

(A) which makes substituting alcohol distilled from cereal grain attractive

(B) which makes substituting the distillation of alcohol from cereal grain attractive

 (C) which makes distilling alcohol from cereal grain an attractive substitute

 (D) making an attractive substitution of alcohol distilled from cereal grain

 (E) making alcohol distilled from cereal grain an attractive substitute

Choice E is the best for this question of middle difficulty.

请NN讲讲吧，对这个结构一直搞不太清楚，虽然一直知道ETS有一个“逻辑为王”的法则，但是还是想知道个究竟

例子引用错误。

E结构为make sth. sth.

这里的foreshortened 也可以看成形容词吧，我觉得还是句意上的差别

同意
foreshortened可以做形容词
主要错误还是句意改变
