谢谢stoneren, 我的语法半瓶都没有, 因为很小的时候跟父母学的英语, 不讲语法, 后来一直就不会用语法解释. 做题完全是念起来顺溜, 看起来顺眼(给自己贴点金子: 搭配合理,符合逻辑), 不会解释, 最多找个og类似例子. 就是大家的鼓励我才脸皮厚厚地参加讨论.真的谢谢stoneren,twei, leeon等众朋友不笑话我.
马鱼MM太谦虚了!
Sentence correction questions test two broad aspects of language proficiency: 1. Correct expression. A correct sentence is grammatically and structurally sound. It conforms to all the rules of standard written English (for example: non-verb agreement, noun-pronoun agreement, pronoun consistency, pronoun case, and verb tense sequence). Further, a correct sentence will not have dangling, misplaced, or improperly formed modifiers, unidiomatic or inconsistent expressions, or faults in parallel construction.★★★★★ 2. Effective expression. An effective sentence expresses an idea or relationship clearly and concisely as well as grammatically. This does not mean that the choice with the fewest and simplest words is necessarily the best answer. It means that there are no superfluous words or needlessly complicated expressions in the best choice.★★★★ In addition, an effective sentence uses proper diction (Diction refers to the standard dictionary meanings of words and the appropriateness of words in context.) In evaluating the diction of a sentence, you must be able to recognize whether the words are well chosen, accurate, and suitable for the context.★★★★
最后,再看一下题目的要求: This question tests correctness and effectiveness of expression. In choosing your answer, follow the requirements of standard written English; that is, pay attention to grammar, choice of words, and sentence construction. Choose the answer that produces the most effective sentence; this answer should be clear and exact, without awkwardness, ambiguity, redundancy, or grammatical error.★★★
改过后既然大家都读出了ambiguity,我想ETS就不会选择将这样的表达作为答案的。
