答案选A

新东方的语法上说these或those单独出现一定为错，请问这里these怎么可以单独出现？

如果想考650+

90%新东方的规则都不要记，都是胡说。

these同类指代，放在任何位置都可以，这里A是指代 hot sauces

这个题的考点是 1.initial modifier 的修饰对象  2，as和like比较的用法

XDF的公理有點過時...
these/this的用法有點arguable..XDF的結論, 相信是來自OG11#115的explanation.
MGMAT的Ron也不讚成these在這題的用法...
我看了Garner's Modern American Usage, 上面說these/this來做determiner絶對可以, 用來做pronoun就有點arguable...書上建議最好用在指代明顯的時候...
可是OG又沒明確說these/this不能當pronoun...
所以several possibilities:
- 34錯
- 34對, ETS接受這個用法
- 34對因為these指代明顯
