OG107单复数问题

superhick

想问一下，AVAILABLE 放在 名词前边 合乎习惯吗？？？

我觉得也只能选E.

另外FEW 修饰可数名词, LITTLE 修饰不可数名词.

107. Downzoning, zoning that typically results in the reduction of housing density, allows for more open space in areas where little water or services exist.

從頭再看了一次帖子

發現有些問題還是沒有個結論

我個人在做時

覺得正確答案E

(A)   there are few services and little available water

像是改變了句意

1.原句是要"or",也就是二者擇一

可是答案用and

2.再來,aviailable的位置實在奇怪,他拿來修飾water

  那麼services呢??

是後置形容詞嗎??這樣的說法好像又過於牽強??

3. 原句其實用了exist,所以改成available,會不會造成改變句意之嫌???

請指教

这123点问的正是，有公断吗？

实战手筋：

1、little只能修饰不可数名词,few只能修饰可数名词，他们都不能同时修饰两种，答案要有二者，ABD都只有一个，隐含省略相同项，排除ABD。

2、进一步，按句子意思和本身性质，water和services不是二择一的关系，而是a pair，应以and连接，排除ABD。

2、主谓数一致性考虑，排除C。

Downzoning, zoning that typically results in the reduction of housing density,
allows for more open space in areas where little water or services exist.
(A) little water or services exist
(B) little water or services exists
(C) few services and little water exists
(D) there is little water or services available
(E) there are few services and little available water
选E。

有一些关于单复数的疑问:AorB的结构,谓语不是和B保持一直吗?OG有一点解释是Since water and services are being discussed as a pair, they should logically be treated as a compound suject requiring a plural verb; thus, the singular verbs "exists" (in B and C) and "is" (in D) are wrong.
为什么这里这么解释了,不明白什么时候应该把A or B看成a pair,什么时候跟B保持一致,还有一个问题就是到底和A还是B一致,还是就是用复数呢?看过以前的贴子,未解决

A or B可以看成a pair吗？如果要看成a pair的话，是不是一定要改成and?如果还是用or 的话，是不是还是应该谓语动词与B的单复数保持一致？

问题多多！请nn们指正
