语法知识点：may与possible冗余

xiangxiaolv

Possible long-term consequences of the “greenhouse effect,” the gradual warming of the Earth’s climate, may include melting the polar ice caps and a rising sea level.


A.may include melting the polar ice caps and a rising sea level

B.may include the melting of polar ice caps and the rising sea level

C.may include polar ice caps that are melting and sea levels that are rising

D.include melting the polar ice caps and sea levels that are rising
E.include melting of the polar ice caps and a rise in sea level



A、B、C，may与possible冗余

D，sea levels that are rising笨拙（？），另说，这样表达句子重心转移了

E is the best


有两个需要讨论的问题
1、may 和possible 冗余？
2、D E中的melting分别是什么形式？是现在分词形式还是动名词形式？

为神马我觉得possible和may不冗余........又不是在一个句子里面出现的.....

首先，possible … ，… ，may…… 中间是插入语~有possible就不需要may了~而且may是口语~书面语要避免出现~
然后就剩DE~
D中melting是动作性，sea levels是个名词~肯定不对~
E中melting和a rise都是动作性的~要比D好很多~于是乎就E了~
我是这么做的~希望有所帮助~

这题在考平行~

D中的melting是动词性，而sea levels是名词性，不对；
E中的melting是名词性（因为后面有of！），a rise显然也名词，所以OK.
