74.            Growing competitive pressures may be encouraging auditors to bend the rules in favor of clients; auditors may, for instance, allow a questionable loan to remain on the books in order to maintain a bank’s profits on paper.


(A) clients; auditors may, for instance, allow


(B) clients, as an instance, to allow


(C) clients, like to allow


(D) clients, such as to be allowingA


(E) clients; which might, as an instance, be the allowing of


The first independent clause of the sentence describes a general situation; in A, the best choice, a second independent clause clearly and grammatically presents an example of this circumstance. Choice B uses as an instance ungrammatically: as an instance requires of to form such idiomatic constructions as “She cited x as an instance of y. Also, this construction cannot link infinitives such as to bend and to allow. The infinitive is again incorrect in C and D. C misuses like, a comparative preposition, to introduce an example. D requires by in place of to be. E, aside from being wordy and imprecise, uses the pronoun which to refer vaguely to the whole preceding clause rather than to a specific noun referent.



答案没问题:D requires by in place of to be 这里D变成 such as by allowing…在这可以作为一个正确选项吗?Growing competitive pressures…., such as by allowing这里allowing的施动者优先是growing competitive pressures, 逻辑上是auditors… rules.., such as by allowing.

In my view, it means "  to encourage <auditors to bend rules..  such as by allowing>"

Thanks mariezhu.


But I am still puzzled.


As what you present, auditors to bend rules.. such as by allowing, I vote for your view because you eliminate the comma before such as. Consequently, logic subject of "allowing" is auditors, the parrallel structure is auditors....rules..such as...;


In D, a comma places before "such as", may the comma cause the ambiguous logic subject for "allowing"???


To be discussed....

同样的问题!

还有一点,such as可以接介词吗?

可以的,不过那是名词的省略形式。

如果是省略的话,such as by allowing是如何省略的呢?还是ETS的这个解释并不意味着such as by allowing从语法上来讲是正确的呢?

如果D的逗号会引起歧义的话,那A岂不是也是有可能犯同一个错误?我觉得像举例这些词一般也有个“ 就近原则“

我觉得是这样省略的,nn帮忙看看对不对: ...encourage auditors to b end the rules in favor of clients by allowing ....


such as在这里是举例,所以直接加在方式方法by allowing前面即可。
