1。D是吗？我觉得with their odometers discconected.是修cars 的，所以应该跟在她后面。cars 后面的从句：that were test-driven 可以简写为test-driven cars
2。我觉得应该是assumed that +be  省略should ，所以选B
3。B？broadcast前面应该跟复数

1.我選b.
2.a
3.b,但不是因為broadcast,broadcast也可能是過去式哦,怎麼能判斷單復呢?
公佈答案吧.

3楼的MM，
1。B中的cars that it had test-driven 不对，因为that定从中的cars为宾语，test-driven 是cars 的定语。这个把它单独留下有点奇怪。至少应该是test-driven cars that it had 吧？

3。但是文中的时态是现在时呀。况且没有时间词表示这个broadcast要用过去时态

第3 题，应该是b. broadcast 前的主语是复数， three networks,each 在这里修饰 three networks,不影响谓语动词。

答案是D，B，B
但仍未明白二楼的解释，如果可以的话，烦请再清楚一点比较两个答案。
我觉得第三提是考AS WHEN这个考点。
大家可以大致翻译一下一三题的意思吗？
