大全 section9-21

aug24

21.   From the bark of the paper birch tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons or eight hundred pounds of baggage so light that a person could easily portage it around impeding rapids.

(A) baggage so light

(B) baggage being so light

(C) baggage, yet being so light

(D) baggage, and so light（E）

(E) baggage yet was so light

答案E, 我选的是A,请问A错在哪? E 的yet as ....是什么用法!~~~~

谢谢

对了,大全讨论帖中有很多题找不到,该怎样搜索啊,有什么固定格式么????

句子有个转折的意思，虽然可以载很多很多dd,但是很轻xxx

所以，只剩下C，E

C的being错了

sunshoes

UP下，

为什么being不对，这题我也选错了，选了B

足球幽灵

being is awkward.

sunshoes

谢谢幽灵

见过很多地方，貌似只要有being，就基本都是awkward.

不知道有没有反例？

足球幽灵

不客气

OG11(黄)-107，being是正确的。个人认为，being+n/adj.肯定错，being+Ved可能错，也可能对。

这道题我是这么理解的：

which could carry.... and (which) was so light that...

因为有转折，所以用 yet连接。

关于being,有两个例外

the chance of being/the distinction of being

例如：

At that time, it had the distinction of being the largest bridge in UK

the chance of being selected
