大全36

36。According to a recent poll, owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults, like that of earlier generations.

(A) like that of earlier generations
(B) as that for earlier generations
(C) just as earlier generations did
(D) as have earlier generations
(E) as it was of earlier generations
请问，未划线部分 on its own land, 里面的its 指代的是谁呢？ E选项中的it 是指 the goal,  记得有一个原则，一个句子中出现的代词应该指代同一样东西， 那么在这个句子中， its and it 指的是不同的东西，难道可以么？
我好像陷入了一个误区，看那个选项都觉得不顺眼，都觉得有问题，而且往往找不出那个比哪个更有问题。

36题的its应是指majority‘s，后面的IT指代goal，

关于代词指代，我得理解是从局子的逻辑关系入手，如果前面提过同一类事物，比如OG－61. The Gorton-Dodd bill requires that a bank disclose to their customers how long they will delay access to funds from deposited checks.
(E)    that  banks disclose to customers how long access to funds from their deposited check is to be delayed

E答案中的banks和customers会使后面的THEIR指代不清。

但本题中的it表大的很清楚，goal和a majority of young adults完全部同德两类事物，不会让后面it 指代不清。这是我得理解。

46题，whatever sth (may be),A &B 形式都是对的，但是B中proposal of 是祝福的意思，D&E明显是所有格不对，没见过merit as 这个短语。你看一下OG的解释吧，这道题应该是OG的原题。

谢谢你，我考古发现大家已经对48题进行过讨论

的确是whatever sth may be 可以的，错就错在proposal of doing 有问题
