OG 256

weichenli

also C) the only eyewitness acouunt is in two letters by the nephew.....

OG says: the meaning of the sentence is unclear (the only eyewitness account of what?)

However I don't see why "account" by itself is unclear

EX. my bank account.

The only member account.

Does this mean that whenever we see Account in OG, it has to be followed by "of" in order to make it clear?

thanks!

please up up~~thanks

"account" is so unclear. if you want to make the sentence, it should follow a subject. account is what? there is no subject! if no subject, the "by" modifies nothing? i'm not good at sc, so just open to discuss.

I got a question :

E) In two letters to the hisorian Tacitus, the nephew of pliny the elder wrote the only eyewitness account of the great eruption of vesuvius

doesn't it sound like "the nephew" is IN TWO letters??

anyone can help please? thanks!

up please! 还有这题我怎么看A都觉得 in two letters 是可以理解的阿?

A 我看出來了

i checked "Account" usage http://www.freesearch.co.uk/dictionary/account

It has mulitple meaning, so can I conclude that Account here means "report"? and therefore needs Of to clarify what?

In sum, can I conlcude that whenever we see "account" used in GMAT with similar meaning, we need OF?

Or can any NN gives a deeper explanation ? thanks!

當ACCOUNT 有類似report 的意思..而不是單純戶頭的意思時, 最好加"OF" 有沒有人確認一下呢? 謝謝!

just remember EST won't use this structure "TO..., sv..."

有没有人给讲讲，同问

in two letters...是介词结构在句首做整个句子的状语，不会产生歧义，做名词定语的介词结构往往放在名词之后。

Yes, your understanding is correct.

逗号＋现分 这种结构如果前面是个句子，那么优先考虑其作为状语，修饰主句动作，分词动作的实施者一般是主句主语；如果前面仅仅是一个名词结构，那么，分词做定语。

两个例子都证明上述观点。

有例子吗？
