很晕。。请教下大家关于According to 和Based on的用法

ccccccccccab

According to records from ancient Athens, each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe that  they used to dress a statue of the goddess Athena.这是个错误选项，解释说是According to用法错误

但是我又找到了一道原题，是这样的：According to a recent poll, owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a good of a majority of young adults, as it was of earlier generations.

为什么According to 用在第一句就是错的，用在第二句就是对的呢？它的逻辑主语有什么要求吗？

另外，Based on呢？

请教~~~~~

According to对主语没要求，第一句里面的关键问题不在于 according to，而在于 that they used to dress a statue的表达： use sth to dress没有 dress sth with... 来的常见 和 漂亮。

Base on 就有要求了，当成分词，要求 主语逻辑一致。

有几个很好的例子解释了 base on 的用法

大全

159.        Based on accounts of various ancient writers, scholars have painted a sketchy picture of the activities of an all-female cult that, perhaps as early as the sixth century B.C., worshipped a goddess known in Latin as Bona Dea, “the good goddess.”

(A) Based on accounts of various ancient writers

(B) Basing it on various ancient writers’ accounts

(C) With accounts of various ancient writers used for a basis

(D) By the accounts of various ancient writers they used（E）

(E) Using accounts of various ancient writers

159, og-011

In choice A, the introductory clause beginning Based on modifies scholars, the noun that immediately follows it: in other words, A says that scholars were based on the accounts of various ancient writers. Choice B is awkward and imprecise in that the referent for the pronoun it is not immediately clear. C and D are also wordy and awkward, and in D By the accounts... they used is an unidiomatic and roundabout way of saying that scholars used the accounts. E, the best choice, is clear and concise; it correctly uses a present participle (or “-ing” verb) to introduce the modifier describing how the scholars worked.

160.        Based on pinto beans and corn tortillas, the Pima Indians have a diet that derives 70 percent of its protein from vegetable sources and only 30 percent from animal foods, the reverse of the typical North American diet.

(B) Pima Indians in their diet derive

(C) diet of the Pima Indians derives

(D) diets of the Pima Indians have derived（C）

(E) diet of the Pima Indians, deriving

160, 补充-125

A) Based on，the Pima Indians错
B) 同上
C) correct. the diet of the Pima Indians对应the typical North American diet
D) the diets of the Pima Indians与the typical North American diet不对应

161.        Based on the growth rates of large modern reptiles such as the Galapagos tortoise and examinations of fossils of juvenile dinosaurs, scientists estimate that the largest dinosaurs probably lived to be between 100 and 200 years old.

(B) On the basis of growth rates of large modern reptiles such as

(C) Based on the growth rates of large modern reptiles like

(D) On the basis of growth rates of large modern reptiles, like those of（B）

(E) Based on such growth rates as those of large modern reptiles like

161, 补充-187

A) Based on，scientists逻辑关系错。
B) best
C) Based on，scientists逻辑关系错。
D) 意思表达没有用such as来的清楚，直接明了。这里举例such as比比较like好. those指代不清，large modern reptiles of the Galapagos tortoise产生歧义。
E) Based on，scientists逻辑关系错。

P.S.
correct answer "Records from ancient Athens indicate that each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe with which they dressed"  "indicate that" parallel with "and that this" appeared latter;

if we choose this "According to records from ancient Athens, each year young Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe that they used to dress",  "and that this" is supposed to parallel with "that they used to..." which is illogical.

粽子小姐

第一句的According to不能用，是因为 young Athenian women 不是依据record 才collaborate to weave的、、
而第二句  owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a good of a majority of young adults 是根据调查所得到的的结论，所以可以用according to 这个 poll
