The ancient Anasazi harvested such native desert vegetation as the purple-flowered bee plant, what they now commonly call wild spinach in northern Arizona and other parts of the southwestern United States. A. what they now commonly call B. a plant that they now commonly call C. now commonly called D. and is mow commonly called E. which it is now commonly called
答案是C,是省略了which is的结构,构成了-ed分词,修饰the purple-flowered bee plant。 但是为什么这里的-ed分词结构怎么这么确定没有歧义呢? 我在做题过程中发现,似乎在GMAT中,-ing分词不推荐用“逗号+-ing分词”后置的结构,修饰紧邻其前的名词,即***n.,-ing分词...,因为这样会有歧义,让人不清楚是修饰主句主语,还是临近名词的。但是这种结构在其紧邻名词位于一个主句的介词短语中,即***in/ with/ on ***n.,-ing分词...,貌似就可以,例子我一下找不到了,但是好像有这么个印象,不知道是不是这样呢?如果是这样,是否-ed分词也符合这个规律?请NN们指点~ |
