Acquiring 828,000 square miles in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States bought it for about four cents an acre, more than doubling the country’s size and bringing 这题说D错的都是说并列问题,可是我觉得并列反而不对,因为doubling和bringing的动作发出者是不同的,前者是土地,后者是购地的这个行为,所以应该用逗号隔开,bringing作为前面整个分局的伴随状语 所以坚持选D。 不知道NN们有什么想法??请赐教! -- by 会员 pennyrun (2010/1/29 0:05:54)
谈谈我的拙见哈。。。 1、语法要从句意入手,而不是从规则入手。 在原句中,double和brought是并列的意思,那么先判断这个并列是不是正确,显然这里两个动词做整个acquire行为的伴随是正确的; 2、D选项,in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, for about four cents an acre这种两个介词用逗号隔开的情况很少见,for about four cents an acre的修饰对象有歧义more than doubling the country’s size, bringing 这种情况的bring有修饰double的嫌疑,如果是同时修饰acquire应该有and。
C选项逻辑清楚很有层次,我的感觉是GMAT的正确句子都是很有层次的,像D这种断断续续的混乱的,一般不用深究都是错的。 从句意入手,是解难题的王道。切忌只顾所谓的语法规则。此乃无形胜有形。。。。
