(D)local witnesses are difficult to locate and reticent, and they are
(E)that local witnesses are difficult to locate and reticent, and they are
问：
1，OG解释the underlined part of the sentence is a clause that must be introuduced by the conjunction that; 此题是find引导的宾语从句，为什么一定要有that呢？
我查了关于宾语丛从句关系代词的语法“当that作learn, suggest, explain, agree, wonder, prove, mean, state, feel, hold 等动词的宾语时不可以省略that”

2, 题中是并列结构“A parallel series should be X, Y, and Z”，对此我没有疑问。可是题中locate是动词，reticent和suspisious都是形容词，且似乎需要be补出的。那如何并列结构呢？

望大家给些建议。

crystalhuang

difficult ， reticent   and   suspicious 三个adj并列，若 suspicious不出be动词，那么reticent也应该补出，若并列成分第二个省则其他的并列成分都补出

e，感谢crystal
那关于宾语从句that有人解释吗？

gmat的sc基本要求是句子清晰易理解，所以有that句子比无that的句子结构更清晰，另外，如果不用that的话，句子应是found sb sth，答案中没有，恩，拙见

wysmimi

楼上说的在理，可是句中的宾语从句是省去that的用法啊？
是否大家看到GMAT的例题中有宾语从句省去that的？帮忙给个反馈。

反馈一下，目前据我拙见，我做SC的时候，遇到动词后面带宾语从句的都是首选把that给补上的，貌似之前XDF的笔记中有写到过GMAT语法中宾语从句后的that不能省，而名词从句（好像）后的that能省则省。体现区别和句子结构的明晰。

GMAT规定，宾语从句的that不能省。
