同位语, but don't know why plual is employed here

oliviachen

因为是concentrations所以用复数

请问黑体字作谁的同位语？谢谢！

这是ETS-SC惯用的，几乎可以看作是正确选项的标志

     findings指large concentrations of heavy- metal deposits in the upper twenty centimeters sediments from the baltic sea

     consistent with 修饰findings

     这里不用用it或者which来代替，只能加入这个词findings

请问dreadpower，是否是用一个带有修饰的名词findings做同位语？

您说“这是ETS-SC惯用的，几乎可以看作是正确选项的标志”是指什么？

谢谢！

dreadpower

加一个名词，用来表述前面的一段文字，然后后面修饰这个名词

     如findings consistent with the growth of industrial activity in the area.
