OG 173

joywzy

173. Joan of Arc, a young Frenchwoman who claimed to be divinely inspired, turned the tide of English victories in her country by liberating the city of Orleans and she persuaded Charles VII of France to claim his throne.
A.    she persuaded Charles VII of France to claim his throne
B.    persuaded Charles VII of France in claiming his throne
C.    persuading that the throne be claimed by Charles VII of France
D.    persuaded Charles VII of France to claim his throne
E.    persuading that Charles VII of France should claim the throne
In choice A, turned... and she persuaded is needlessly wordy and lacks the compact parallelism of turned... and persuaded. In choice B, persuaded.. . in claiming is unidiomatic; the form persuaded x to [do] y is required. In choices C and E, turned... and persuading that violates parallelism, and the passive construction in C is awkward and unnecessarily wordy. Parallel, idiomatic, and concise, choice D is best.

如果这题中，turn the tide of English victories by liberating the city and persuading C to claim ,那么与D比，哪个更好？在大平行与小平行中，如何判断谁与谁平行？

谢谢。

，没明白你的问题

大平行和小平行这个问题要基于对句子的理解和句子结构。

这一题除了大小平行以外，还有别的解题点
persuade that这种用法是错误的，至少在gmat中
我在webster上查过了，的确没有persuade that这种用法
所以可以派出ce，问题就好解决了

这一点我觉得也很困难，大小平行好像是现在机考的一个很重要的点，一起问

不能光看语法点，要加上对句意的理解。从句意上讲不可能是liberating/persuading 这种
平行关系，persuade不是turn the tide 的行为的一部分，是和 turn the tide 并列的行
为.

大小并列应该是建立在句意基础上的
