113. Because there are provisions of the new martiime code that provide that even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas they have already stimulated international disputes over uninhabited islands.

(A) Because there are provisions of the new martiime code that provide that even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas they have already stimulated

(B) Because the new martime code provides that even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas, it has already stimulated

(C) Even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas under provisions of the new martime code, already stimulating.

(D) Because even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas under provisions of the new maritime code, this has already stimulated

(E) Because even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas under provisions of the new martime code, which is already stimulatin

请教， (B), (C) 同样的是前面表原因，后面表结果， 区别是(B) 用从句表达，(C) 是分词结构表结果状语，这里有什么优劣之分吗？ 是不是，表因果的话，用because, in that, for 带的从句比分词结构表达更清晰？

C选项后半部分是分词结构，而even应该引导的是一个从句，后面则应该是主语

而且，好像没有用even表示因果的吧……

andylao2000

even 在这里应该是形容词吧，看A的原意：that even tiny islets can be the basis for claims to the fisheries and oil fields of large sea areas they have already stimulated international disputes over uninhabited islands.

在C里，如果even被理解为形容词，就不存在主从句问题。况且，查过longman,even 的词性是adv,adj,verb,没有起连词词性,只有even if, even though 才起连词的作用。

欢迎继续讨论。

我觉得even 就是“即使”的意思；A的原意中也是“即使”的意思

感觉这个题选B的原因是因为他的结构正确，尤其是后边的部分“ it has already stimulated”，不是因为“从句比分词结构表达更清晰”。

C的问题2楼说得对，就是后面的“already stimulating”根本就是错的，和前面的even不搭配

我只复习了90道OG，GMAT语法有根据“从句比分词结构表达更清晰”这类原则来做题的吗？

个人觉得C的最大问题还是在under provisions of the new martime code，修饰的对象ambigious，究竟是修饰tiny islets还是sea areas

A中OG说 in the predicate nominative instead of the subject position, provisions is not an obvious reference for the pronoun they
是什么意思

A中OG说 in the predicate nominative instead of the subject position, provisions is not an obvious reference for the pronoun they 是什么意思-- by 会员 陈梓 (2009/12/4 14:50:50)

这个我也不太懂，意思是不是they逻辑上应该指代provisions,但语法上却不一定，还有可能指代tiny islets?求nn解答

yueqianchen

麻烦问一下，D为什么不对？
OG给的是the referent of this is unclear
但是前文单数的只有new maritime code，不明白了...指代问题一直是硬伤啊...Z

cx_ding

个人理解，B和D中的it和this都存在指代不清的问题。
根据语法规则，代词和指代对象越近越清楚，在上面那个句子中，前面的单数名词不止一个，所以可能会产生歧义。
另外，如果it或this仅仅指代“新的海洋法规”，其含义没有结果状语从句表达的含义更精确。
请大牛指正。

B is better, it is clearly the 'new maritime code' that is stimulating disputes. In C, because the modifier modifies 'tiny islets', the subject of the disputes has become 'tiny islets', which is clearly not the case.
