it is imprecise to characterize a reduction as performing actions such as acknowledging or attempting 不知道这句话要怎么理解,为什么这么说,请赐教.

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.

Moreover, these verbs are used incorrectly because the sentence mentions no subject that is performing these actions. 这句话怎么理解.

我想这两题可能是一类题,主谓之间的逻辑搭配问题,可是不知道有什么原则.

[QUOTE]it is imprecise to characterize a reduction as performing actions such as acknowledging or attempting 不知道这句话要怎么理解,为什么这么说,请赐教.

mm已经说了，这是主谓搭配的问题，reduction作为主语，是不能搭配谓语acknowledge, attempt这样的动作的，Federal Reserve Board倒是可以。

Moreover, these verbs are used incorrectly because the sentence mentions no subject that is performing these actions. 这句话怎么理解.

这题要求的是名词结构平行对称，所以不能用动词的分词形式。而且，GMAT要求逻辑关系清晰，所以一般要求分词前补出逻辑主语，这就是moreover的意思。

我想这两题可能是一类题,主谓之间的逻辑搭配问题,可是不知道有什么原则.

原则就是合理，考虑主谓搭配的时候多用一下common sense，然后多多练习，熟悉GMAT的思路。

谢谢,明白了,一是注意逻辑搭配,要符合常理;二是碰到分词结构,要注意有逻辑主语,我想此规则也是可以使用与其他的修饰成分,比如不定式什么的.对吧.

Exactly.

I understand og 66. that "reduction can not perform the action "acknowledge". Do you have any rule what kind of noun can not perform an action?

I am afraid that in test, I might not tell the difference.

lingling2005的問題也正好是我的問題

因為有的時候可以看到擬人化的用法(記得OG有一題是**見證了saw***) 但有的時候又說不能用

真是有點搞不清楚了
