2 used to say what job, duty, use, or appearance someone or something has: As a parent, I feel that more should be done to protect our children. A flat stone was used as a table. Dad dressed up as Santa Claus. 这样看起来30的D选项as的用法确实不标准。。。
D选项。。The prepositional phrase as a protection of warriors is awkward and imprecise; using the noun form protection creates wordiness and is awkward in reference to items. 我又看了遍OG的解释,我觉得如果有语法上的问题OG应该会说出来的吧,但是只是说awkward and imprecise..我看了下原题觉得如果as做介词的话后面加的部分过于冗长....再加上又有protection的问题。。。

used to describe sb/sth appearing to be sb/sth else: They were all dressed as clowns. ◆ The bomb was disguised as a package. used to describe the fact that sb/sth has a particular job or function: She works as a courier. ◆ Treat me as a friend. ◆ I respect him as a doctor. ◆ You can use that glass as a vase. ◆ The news came as a shock. ◆ She had been there often as a child (= when she was a child).
这两种用法。
但是,这里protection也好,method也好,前面都乍眼的出现了一个冠词a。试问items是复数,如何as a xxxx呢?
(1) as的用法?在这里到底是做介词还是连词,这两种情况到底区不区分逗号? (2) OG解释里的protection is awkward in reference to items到底指的是什么?当然加了a是一个问题,但如果排除这个问题,到底是什么原因使得protection不能指代items呢,item是protection,这样的说法也没错吧。而且OG用的词很有意思,reference to。
