85.   Out of America’s fascination with all things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.

(A) things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing

(B) things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing

(C) things that are antiques has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring

(D) antique things have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing（B）

(E) antique things has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that bring

Choice B is best. In A and D, have grown does not agree with the singular noun market. （倒装句中，要尤其注意主谓一致，一定要找主句是谁）In addition, all of the choices except B use plural verbs after that, thus illogically stating either that bygone styles of furniture and fixtures, or fixtures alone, are reviving the particular pieces mentioned; （主谓不一致带来了歧义，一定要从逻辑意思出发，这是第一位的，市场带来了沙发等，绝不是风格或家具带来了沙发）it is instead the market for those styles that is bringing back such pieces, as B states. （主谓一致）Furthermore, choices C and E, by using the verb form bring, fail to convey the ongoing nature of the revival properly described by the progressive verb is bringing. （？？？）

Furthermore, choices C and E, by using the verb form bring, fail to convey the ongoing nature of the revival properly described by the progressive verb is

bringing. （？？？）

如何能体会出是ongoing nature   而用现在进行时呢

谢谢

A不是有过暗示么？而且这个时态又没有什么错误。

stoneren:

我想一般进行时表示的是一直进行的状态 可是古家具市场会一直带来沙发什么的吗 我对ongoing nature 感到疑惑

另外 在体会时态上 你有什么好办法吗  OG中经常提到onging action/ completed action 我常常体会不到啊

谢谢

ongoing并不是绝对意义上的一直不停的动作，也可以是正在保持的特性。古玩市场不可能每分钟都bring back the chaise lounge，但是它目前正保持着这种状态。ongoing nature往往是在句子中有所暗示的，和一般现在时表达的一种普遍的，持久不变的意思不同，进行时强调了正在进行。

另外一个问题：B中的that is bringing back按照定语从句就近修饰的原则，语法上的不应该指的是furniture吗？但其实逻辑上指的应该是market，这不正是犯了代词指待不清的毛病吗？

that is bringing back" 从句意上理解，可定是修饰a market. 从语法上也是，因为market 是market for bygone styles of furnitures and fixtures 的中心词，所以that 引导的定语从句因该修饰a market.

1.时态

ongoing是正在进行的意思，OG的解释里提到“复苏”是ongoing的，也就是说这是正在进行的事件。你想啊，复苏开始了吗？开始了；结束了吗？没有结束。开始了而没有结束的事情，可不就是正在进行吗？

时态其实很容易把握的，你把同类型题多做总结和对比就好了。

2.that的指代

that后面的谓语是is，说明that指代的是个单数，那怎么可能去指代furnitures呢。这个OG解释里有：all of the choices except B use plural verbs after that, thus illogically stating either that bygone styles of furniture and fixtures, or fixtures alone。说明这也正是ACDE错误的原因。

我有个小问题，关于倒装句型。是不是介词短语提前，句子倒装呀？谢谢先！

是的，介词短语在句首，主谓倒装。
