1. Eating saltwater fish may significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks and also aid for sufferers of rheumatoid arthritis and asthma, according to three research studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
(A) significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks and also aid for
(B) be significant in reducing the risk of heart attacks and aid for
(C) significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks and aid
(D) cause a significant reduction in the risk of heart attacks and aid to(C)
(E) significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks as well as aiding
Choice E lacks the grammatical parallelism of may reduce... and aid, the compound verb in C
但我在longman上查到一个例句 as well as doing something
The organization gives help and support to people in need, as well as raising money for local charities.
所以我想问 这里如果把E改成 significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks, as well as aiding可以不可以?
1. Europe’s travel industry is suffering as a result of a sluggish economy, a stretch of bad weather, as well as the chilling effects of terrorist activity that is persistent.
(A) as well as the chilling effects of terrorist activity that is persistent
(B) and the chilling effect of terrorist activity that is persistent
(C) but persistent terrorist activity has had a chilling effect too
(D) and the chilling effects of persistent terrorist activity(D)
(E) as well as the chilling effects of terrorist activity that persists
The best answer for this question will begin with and because the phrase the chilling effects is that last of three parallel elements in a list, which should follow the form “X, Y , and Z.” A and E are incorrect because as well as cannot replace and in such a list. [bgcolor=yellow][bgcolor=#ffffff]Moreover, these answer choices are wordy and suggest without warrant that there is terrorist activity that does not affect Europe’s travel industry because it is not persistent.[/bgcolor] [/bgcolor] B amends only the first fault. C is incorrect because and, not but, should precede the last element in an inclusive series; in this case, but introduces an independent clause that deviates from the structure of parallel noun phrases. D is correct for this easy question. 请问as well as 不能用于 X,Y, as well as Z的结构么
主要是and 和as well as的辨义问题 as well as 是表伴随的 A and B are …… 说明A和B是平行的,谓语动词两个都要考虑进去,所以用复数 A as well as is……说明A 是主要的,B是表示协同,伴随着的,谓语动词用单数,只考虑到A,B都忽略掉了。 不知道这样说的明白不明白~
