非常典型的一道GMAT题目

做的时候没想那么多，

看了讨论居然总结出了8个知识点

以下是引用LES在2004-8-3 9:30:00的发言：

先编辑了一下你的帖子，字太大了，没办法在一页上显示。

这题的关键是看到both就要找and，而且两者后面的东东要对称，由于in在未划线部分，所以看到Willie (The Lion) Smith and Duke Ellington知道肯定不是和前面的both对称，再往后看发现yet in，说明both有问题，快速把both排除了，只剩C、D选项。由于C选项倒置了原题的主从关系 － 把主句改成了从句，且变成没有主句，所以错。

B，E的错误显而易见了吧。

再弱弱的问一下,如果用BOTH PREP N AND REP N结构,是不是第二个PREP都不能省的? 怎么印象中好象能省似的.麻烦NN们给我个回答好让我死了这颗心

弱问下：Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk，这里的Jazz pianist and composer和Thelonious Monk不用逗号隔开可以的么？

Og上56题是这样的：

Architects and stonemasons,  the Maya built huge palace and temple clusters without the benefit of animal transport or the wheel.（正确答案还原后）

56.   Architects and stonemasons, huge palace and temple clusters were built by the Maya without benefit of the wheel or animal transport.

(A) huge palace and temple clusters were built by the Maya without benefit of the wheel or animal transport

(B) without the benefits of animal transport or the wheel, huge palace and temple clusters were built by the Maya

(C) the Maya built huge palace and temple clusters without the benefit of animal transport or the wheel

(D) there were built, without the benefit of the wheel or animal transport, huge palace and temple clusters by the Maya（C）

(E) were the Maya who, without the benefit of the wheel or animal transport, built huge palace and temple clusters

知道了，回答自己的问题。这里逗号不是很重要。

如同位语与其同位成分关系紧密时不用逗点隔开;如同位语对其同位成分只作补充解释时可用逗点隔开。
He himself told me that his brother John is a world-famous doctor.
他本人对我讲,他的兄长约翰是一位世界闻名的医生。
himself和John都是单一的字作同位语,与其同位成分之间不用逗点隔开。

以下是引用joe11在2004-12-10 22:33:00的发言：

不加该逗号也可以的，表达方式不同而已。

Jazz pianist and composer  , Thelonious Monk produced...

= As a Jazz pianist and composer, Thelonious Monk produced...

Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk produced...

表示 Thelonious Monk 的 title 是Jazz pianist and composer 。

我觉得这样来解释d前面的jazz pianist and composer比较好

b选项有逻辑歧义，d选项对歧义进行了确认，精确性更好，故正确。

好帖，原来头衔的表达可以这样，

Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk 成了两人了，但原来的意思是一个人，因为后半句里有 yet he，所以C,D,E都排除。（这个排除法居然错了。自己一上来就把C,D,E给排除了！
