[讨论]代词一致性原则

og11(黄)73

73.         According to a recent poll, owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults, like that of earlier
   generations.

A like that of earlier generations

B as that for earlier generations

C just as earlier generations did

D as have earlier generations

E as it was of earlier generations

Logical predication + Parallelism

This sentence compares a single goal shared by generations. The second part of the sentence must have the same structure as the first part: a clause with a subject and a verb. Like is used to introduce a phrase, but as must be used to introduce a clause. The phrase owning ... land is the subject of the first clause; in the correct sentence, the pronoun
  
it refers back to the phrase and is the subject of the second clause. The first verb is also parallels the second verb was. A goal does not need to be repeated in the second clause because it is understood. The prepositional phrases of a majority of young adults and of earlier generations are parallel and correct.

A       Like introduces a phrase, but a clause, introduced by
  
as, is required to make the comparison parallel

B        The phrase is not parallel to the main clause

C       Subject and verb of the second clause must correspond to those of the first

D       The clause is illogical and not parallel to the main clause

E       Correct. In this sentence as shows comparison and introduces a subordinate clause in which all grammatical elements correspond to those in the main clause.

The correct answer is E.

E中,第一个 its 指代a freestanding house ,第二个it指代owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land ,会不会指代不一致?根据代词一致性原则:相同的代词指代对象要一致

看的好仔细啊,赞一个。

我的理解,“owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land ”是一个惯用语,不能对它进行严格的语法考虑。

its应该是指someone's,不分男女的时候,用it来指代人。

请指正。
