og 99 没人问过

wendy_830704

"Choice D grammatically vague,resembles C if split is a verb and E if split is on adjective."是什么意思呀

zhoushao

我想问得是这到题中the得用法

这个是og关于这题得解释

In B, the best choice, the definite article the clearly signifies that splitting is to be taken as a noun. In A, splitting introduces a verb phrase that breaks the parallelism of the noun series.

但是OG在62题中又这样解释一个分词作名词得用法，前面并没有加the

tilting, one of the deformations of the Earth’s crust, is used here as a noun that is parallel to fluctuations, whereas changing and varying are used as verbs indicating some action undertaken

所以我就对一个动词变为名词有了疑惑，到底the起什么作用

如果A项是splitting apart of continents对吗？

我把62题贴一下

62.   Geologists believe that the warning signs for a major earthquake may include sudden fluctuations in local seismic activity, tilting and other deformations of the Earth’s crust, changing the measured strain across a fault zone, and varying the electrical properties of underground rocks.

(A) changing the measured strain across a fault zone and varying

(B) changing measurements of the strain across a fault zone, and varying

(C) changing the strain as measured across a fault zone, and variations of

(D) changes in the measured strain across a fault zone, and variations in（D）

(E) changes in measurements of the strain across a fault zone, and variations among

Good question! 最简单的办法是说它没有划线，所以不管。我想还是稍微专业一次，试着说说我的看法：

OG99的确有“the definite article the clearly signify that splitting is to be taken as a noun”一说。这种用a/the来标识名词化的动名词在GMAT常有用到。可不可以说：

1. 如果动名词明显是名词，无需标识情况下，就可以不用a/the呢? 如你举的og62，tilting and other deformations，已经隐含tilting是名词呢（tilting is one type of deformation）? 无独有偶，大全736的hedging and other investor strategies 有着惊人的相似之处：

The economic forces...include sudden downturns in the market, hedging and other investor strategies for preventing losses, a loosening..., and a fear...

2. og99，splitting是一定要用定冠词了，因为the onset of ice age先用了的。但是，如果不考虑句意变化的话，如果用复数splittings和great volcanic eruptions对应，我觉得就不应用冠词了。

3. 查了查语法书，倒是说名词化的动名词用不用冠词都行。

所以，我的结论是：名词化的动名词一般要用冠词进行标识，但如果名词词性清楚，也可以不要冠词，具体应该结合上下文考虑。

哦。谢谢GG，我开始就是因为看到62题得解释在99题AB项犹豫了很久

不过冠词确实头疼啊

动名词本身就是作为名词来处理的,99加the的作用是特指

62不加冠词的原因上泛指.

why C is not right? 可不可以认为split apart continents被分离的大陆部分
