是啊！同意十楼的，没怎么看懂。

when children ( or a child) 实际上都是省略主谓语的状语从句，只有在从句的主谓语与主句一致时才可以省略，但是实际that occoured 的主语是divorce，而从句子意思我们可以明白，when的主语应该是women and men，两者并不一致，所以我们必须使用when they are were children 而不是when children

另外我想问问，og的说明不能用as代替when，这两者的区别是什么，as也有当什么的时候的意思啊？

同意楼上的话 , 会产生歧义,还是把主语补齐的好

?? and C corrects only the error created by occurring. what's the meaning?

哪来的occurring? 是说把  (c)  that occurred when a child换成 occurring when achild???

请指教, thanks

1. The Wallerstein study indicates that even after a decade young men and women still experience some of the effects of a divorce occurring when a child.
A. occurring when a child
B. occurring when children
C. that occurred when a child
D. that occurred when they were children
E. that has occurred as each was a child

Choice D is best. The phrasing a divorce that occurred when they were children correctly uses the relative clause that occurred to modify a divorce and includes a pronoun and verb (they were) that refer unambiguously to their antecedent, men and women. Choice A incorrectly introduces the when... phrase with occurring, thus illogically making divorce the grammatical referent of when a child; furthermore, the singular child does not agree with the plural men and women. B replaces child with children but otherwise fails to correct A's errors of structure and logic, and C corrects only the error created by occurring. Choice E includes an incorrect verb tense (has occurred) and wrongly replaces when with as. Also, each was does not properly refer to men and women.

OG的解释:Choice A incorrectly introduces the when... phrase with occurring, thus illogically making divorce the grammatical referent of when a child是什么意思啊?

谢谢.

The complete form of choice A is "occurring when (divorce was) a child" .

Note:The clause is 'A divorce occured when (it was) a child', the logic subject (which is the subject of the clause) and link verb are omitted. So if you want to restore the omitted part, you have to use the subject of the sentence plus be. It is a rule, so memorize it.  Of cource the meaning of this clause is absurd, so A is wrong.

Pls refer to 《新编英语语法，章振邦》P1153，chapter36，无动词分句。

The occuring in choice A. C改正了A的occurring造成的错误。

1.as 和when 引导时间状从的区别仅仅在于as有延续性含义吗？还有什么区别？

2.E 改成that occured as they were childeren 可以吗？

谢谢指教！

as 可能强调"随着", 表示伴随动作, 好像还是一个进行中的过程, 而when 只简单表示一个时间.

hpp920

so could I use (... divorce occured when they were children) instead of (...divorce that occured when they were children) ?

To hpp920:

   "that"  在 divorce 后引导定语从句，不要省略。
