(A) and establish tighter restrictions for the amount of grain farmers are to be allowed to grow and to encourage (B) and establish tighter restrictions on the amount of grain able to be grown by farmers and encouraging (C) establishing tighter restrictions for the amount of grain farmers are allowed to grow and to encourage (D) to establish tighter restrictions on the amount of grain capable of being grown by farmers and encouraging (E) to establish tighter restrictions on the amount of grain farmers will be allowed to grow and to encourage Idiom; Parallelism Although try and is an idiom often used in colloquial language, in this sentence, to is needed after will try to maintain parallelism: to establish and to encourage. Th e correct preposition following restrictions is not for but on. Are to be allowed to grow is wordy; the infi nitive to be should be omitted for a tighter and clearer expression. A To should replace and before establish; restrictions is incorrectly followed by for rather than on; to be is wordy and should be omitted. B Here, the passive-voice construction able to be grown by is weak and wordy; the constructions and establish … and encouraging … are not parallel. C Will try establishing does not show intent or purpose; restrictions must be followed by on, not for; parallelism is lost. D Passive-voice construction capable of being grown by is weak and wordy; encouraging and to establish are not parallel. E Correct. To establish indicates purpose and parallels to encourage; restrictions is correctly followed by on; the wordiness of the verb phrase has been eliminated. 我怎么觉得e 也有问题那?will be allowed to grow 做什么成分 啊? 非常感谢! |
