请教800score中的一题，有关名词并列

amigo

In her book, the author discusses her childhood, her desire to become an executive and how she made her first successful product launch.

答案将how she made去除了。

是不是和名词并列的从句只能用what和whether引导的从句？谢谢

这要看从句的成分，HOW也可以连接名词性从句。

建议别做800SCORE的题目了，路子不太对。

amigo

那就是说看到此并列：n.+n.+how从句有可能是正确的表达方式吗？

og中有一题：
90. Since 1986, when the Department of Labor began to allow investment officers' fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well.
(A)    investment officers’ fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began
(B)    investment officers’ fees to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began
(C)    that fees of investment officers be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations have begun
(D)    fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun
(E)    that investment officers' fees be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began

解释中说明based on how the funds they manage perform是错误的，那是不是说how从句不能当作一个名词来使用，接在on的后面？

how从句是正确的表达,我觉得第一题的错误在于不够简洁.
第二题based on how...是可以的,但是这个句子的动词是allow如果用to be based on有点不合适(主语一致性),所以最好用从句.不知道我说清楚了没有?

amigo

sorry，不太明白

lixiaoyang

allow 一般是加从句，allow that 或者allow sb to do sth.
based on how to do这个用法可以

og课堂笔记：引导名词性从句只有：what和whether(how 是方式状语从句，不是名词性从句，不能做on的宾语)，这个how the funds they manage perform到底是状语还是名词性从句？

braveMBA

how the funds they manage perform，是how the funds （THAT）they manage perform，省略了定语从句的THAT，所以how the funds they manage perform是不完整的句子，应该想表达的是how they manage perform the funds。
How teachers teach student is an important thing.这里就是HOW做主语从句，名词性从句。
