34. GWD15-Q39:

Five hundred million different species of living creatures have appeared on Earth, nearly 99 percent of them vanishing.

 

1. Five hundred million different species of living creatures have appeared on Earth, nearly 99 percent of them vanishing.
2. Nearly 99 percent of five hundred million different species of living creatures that appeared on Earth have vanished.
3. Vanished are nearly 99 percent of the five hundred million different species of living creatures that appeared on Earth.
4. Of five hundred million different species of living creatures that have appeared on Earth, nearly 99 percent of them have vanished.
5. Of the five hundred million different species of living creatures that have appeared on Earth, nearly 99 percent have vanished.

答案B or E ? 有争论

我想问问为什么A不对呢？nearly 99 percent of them vanishing 不可以做独立主格吗？没有觉得那里不对啊，只有前面 have appeared 有点不爽而已。

请 NN 指教，独立主格总是不会分辨，头疼中……

支持答案E.

A中vanishing 现在分词表示动作进行，但是句意应该是指一个从过去就开始的动作，所以时态不正确，而且在句中出现多个复数名词的时候，them 指代会引起混淆。 另外，该句应该用have appeared来修饰 living creatures, 表示1%的物种还存在，而不能用appeared，意为过去出现过的物种。

B 也是错在了时态上。

E 中nearly 99 percent  修饰 of the ...species准确没有异议，时态也很正确。

建议楼主仔细看 PREP 语法破解，你会发现很多时候，独立主格或是with 引导的独立主格并不是GMAC prefer 德选项。

B的时态没问题。错在于five hundred...之前缺少定冠词the。
