1.                             One pervasive theory explains the introduction of breakfast cereals in the early 1900s as a result of the growing number of automobiles, which led to a decline in horse ownership and a subsequent grain glut; by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored.

(A) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored

(B) persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium

(C) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, it restored market equilibrium

(D) the persuasion of people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium（B）

(E) market equilibrium was restored when people were persuaded to eat former horse feed

请问a为什么不对呢?

是因为被动嘛？

为什么b对呢？ets不是很喜欢ving     is     ving的平行的嘛？

请大家指正

谢谢～

对，GMAT中一般情况下主动优于被动。


MM问的ving is ving 的平行问题可以说的具体一点吗？ 我还不太明白你的意思。

a的by persuading 的逻辑主语不是market equilibrium所以错


b感觉缺少persuading的performer,动名次强调动作性,没有performer读起来有点觉得少东西,谁在persuading?


答案是d吧

答案应该是B，“劝人们吃以前马所吃的”这一举动才能使得“市场平衡”；至于“劝”的动作主体要不要呈示，偶也不知。

     我觉得选B：


     A中market equilibrium是by persuading 的逻辑主语，错


     C：it指代前面的句子，且by persuading 的逻辑主语不明


     D：罗嗦，典型的unidiomatic


         E：former horse feed错，以前的horse feed意思明显错


         B：没看到ving     is     ving


                                     persuading people to eat 分词做主语，完全正确

同问，也有这个疑惑

"former的意思表达不清。难道人们吃马吃过东西？？"

former是用的不对，一般后接头衔，PRESIDENT或角色，是人吃以前喂马吃的东西，但是表达错误。应该这样理解吧。我错选了E，但是我认为本身E的句子结构没有问题，用WHEN没错的。
