146. With an awareness that there are connotations associated with the numbers 1 and 2 and the letters A and B, companies conducting consumer taste tests of foods or beverages typically choose numbers such as 697 or 483 to label the products.
A. With an awareness that there are connotations associated with the numbers 1 and 2 and the letters A and B
B. Because the numbers 1 and 2 and the letters A and B have connotations they are aware of
C. Because of an awareness of the numbers 1 and 2 and the letters A and B having connotations
D. Aware of the connotations of the numbers 1 and 2 and the letters A and B
E. Since the numbers 1 and 2 and the letters A and B have connotations associated with them and they are aware of it
答案选D没有疑问,既简洁又清晰。
只是答案在解释B选项时说:they指代不清,既可以向前指代numbers,letters,又可以向后指代companies。
我认为:当指代numbers和letters的时候逻辑上是不合理的,所以they不可能指代numbers和letters,只能去指代companies,所以不会产生歧义。
而B选项的错误在于:
第一、句子重心的改变,awareness这个事情放到了后面,从句里变成了强调the numbers 1 and 2 and the letters A and B have connotations 。
第二、Because这个表示直白原因包含了一个强烈的语气,引入了because改变了原句的语气。原句只是一个伴随。
可以这么说,because,thus,therefore这种都是强语气词,而with,-ed,-ing这种都是属于弱语气词。
强烈欢迎讨论!
