        15. A substance from the licorice plant, 50 times sweeter than sucrose, was recently discovered, is not only a natural sweetener but also prevents tooth decay.fficeffice" />

    

(A) A substance from the licorice plant, 50 times sweeter than sucrose, was recently discovered

(B) A substance, which was recently discovered, from the licorice plant, 50 times sweeter than sucrose,

(C) A substance from the licorice plant, which was recently discovered to be 50 times sweeter than sucrose,

(D) A substance from the licorice plant, 50 times sweeter than sucrose , which was recently discovered,

(E) A recently discovered substance, 50 times sweeter than sucrose from the licorice plant,

这道题我有个理解


A substance, which was recently discovered, from the licorice plant, 50 times sweeter than sucrose, is not only a natural sweetener but also prevents tooth decay.

在这里，which was recently discovered, from the licorice plant, 50 times sweeter than sucrose这三个部分并列做插入语修饰a substance。

另：to bunnier:     we can offer you a job cleaning cars. [a job that cleans cars]    


这句话有点问题呀： job that cleans cars,         job 怎么可以做cleans 的主语呢？clean主语应该是人呀。


我的语法倒不是来自与LZM，我做完了LZM整本书都毫无提高。有一次无意中看了一个NN的帖子说OG的好处，就去翻了翻，自从我就把LZM扔了。如果你还沉迷与LZM，建议还是多钻研OG的好。

A good catch... is it better to say the following?
. We offer you a job that is to clean cars.


Agree with your viewpoints on LZM and OG. bunnier is studying OG SC to death,    scrutinizing every one of 1340 sentences!

这道题同意escniffer的理解“A substance, which was recently discovered, from the licorice plant, 50 times sweeter than sucrose, is not only a natural sweetener but also prevents tooth decay.在这里，which was recently discovered, from the licorice plant, 50 times sweeter than sucrose这三个部分并列做插入语修饰a substance。”

B,
1, you can only choose the best one of the 5. no choose
2,  A,C and D can have ambuity, suggesting the plant is 50 times sweeter. E has clearly distorted the meaning, saying sucrose is from the plant.

同意你的观点，不过这种distortion of meaning 的错误，我是越来越搞不懂了。我是查了字典才确认A是正确的意思，而不是A distort the intended meaning. 苦笑。考试时要都是这种语法题，我看我就去跳河算了。

就此题来讲，估计你跳河的时候，河里可能已经没有地方了。

Young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits caused by the desire to be as thin as possible.
(A) Young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits caused by the desire to be as thin as possible.
(B) Good eating habits sometimes fail to be maintained by young female ballet dancers and gymnasts caused by desiring to be as thin as possible.
(C) Because they desire to be as thin as possible, good eating habits are sometimes not maintained by young female ballet dancers and gymnasts.
(D) Because they desire to be as thin as possible, young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits.  
(E) Young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits because they desire to be as thin as possible.

key d。

先原因,后结果,表达的意思清晰明确

ETS要求一定的逻辑表述，先发生的，先决的要先写，

记得OG中有道两个分词在句首并列的那题提到过这点。所以，我觉得在D，E都可的情况下，选D比较规范化

尤其是全划线的句子, 可能原来的语序本来就是大错特错嘛。

这观点挺早以前听玉米糊说过，觉得确实挺有效的。不过在现在的实战中，原则可以是入手点，但不能作为判断的唯一标准。BRYONY的说法可能要求你有更深的内功，PUMPKIN的方法实战中更实际，嘻嘻，结合着用吧。ANYWAY（玉米糊的口头禅）谢谢两位大牛。

OG113.上面只说: relative clause whose arms and legs... from monkeys, the noun it modifies. 就是说只要没有把限制性定语从句分开, 就不是特别严重的问题
在这个句子里面就是干脆不用whose 从句了.

用逗号, 来分开并列的修饰成分好像是唯一的办法

og 114:
From the bark of the paper birch tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons or eight hundred pounds of baggage so light that a person could easily portage it around impeding rapids.
(A) baggage so light
(B) baggage being so light
(C) baggage, yet being so light
(D) baggage, and so light
(E) baggage yet was so light

把句子放完整的就是:
From the bark of the paper birch tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons or eight hundred pounds of baggage yet was so light that a person could easily portage it around impeding rapids.

这里的with small....., which.....都是修饰a canoe的.

还请指教

按照OG114的说法，15题的D项也应该是正确选项。

(D) A substance from the licorice plant, 50 times sweeter than sucrose , which was recently discovered,
"which was recently discovered" 从语法的角度讲是修饰 "sucrose"的，不符合原题意。

15.   A substance from the licorice plant, 50 times sweeter than sucrose, was recently discovered, is not only a natural sweetener but also prevents tooth decay.

(A) A substance from the licorice plant, 50 times sweeter than sucrose, was recently discovered

A 中有两个动词was 和 is 引导的句子。

(B) A substance, which was recently discovered, from the licorice plant, 50 times sweeter than sucrose,

(C) A substance from the licorice plant, which was recently discovered to be 50 times sweeter than sucrose,

which 就近修饰 plant， 改变句意。

(D) A substance from the licorice plant, 50 times sweeter than sucrose , which was recently discovered,（B）

同意上楼robertchu 的理解

(E) A recently discovered substance, 50 times sweeter than sucrose from the licorice plant,

错误显然，from the licorice plant 修饰sucrose ，改变句意。

五个句子中比较，选B

about 15, I have one question. We allow "跳跃修饰". So for C, I can say that , "which was recently" 跳跃修饰 a substance. for D, I can say that, "which ..." 跳跃修饰 a substance. Is there any rule about 跳跃修饰? How far can the modifier clause be?

以下是引用snow_mountain在2004-3-20 23:30:00的发言：

13.   By law, a qualified physician can only prescribe medicine, protecting the public.

(A) By law, a qualified physician can only prescribe medicine, protecting the public.

(B) By law, only a qualified physician can prescribe medicine, protecting the public.

(C) By law, only a qualified physician can prescribe medicine which protects the public.

(D) In order to protect the public, by law a qualified physician only can prescribe medicine.

(E) In order to protect the public, by law only a qualified physician can prescribe medicine.

  

答案是E。

完了，我跟大家的看法不一致，我认为答案是D啊。

有人说D有逻辑错误，应该是只有合格的医生才能开药。但我认为没有逻辑错误，按照D，“按照法律，为了保护公众，一个合格的医生只能开药。”我觉得这没有逻辑问题，意思是说，按照法律，医生只能开药，而不能作其他的事。虽然我们没见过哪个国家的法律这么奇怪，但不排除有这种国家。而且，这个是最符合原文（A选项）意思的，没有改变副词（only）的修饰位置。

见笑了，大家批判。
