[求助]og 214

susanyaki

７．og 214 although the term psychopath is popularly aplied to an especially brutal criminal in psychology it is someone who is apparently incapable of feeling compassion or the pangs of conscience.

a) it is someone who is

B) it is a person

c) they are people who are

D) it refers to someone who is

E) it is in reference to people

e中的is不是main verb 吗，为什么说他没有main verb，而非得在is 后加applied

susanyaki

og解释如下:

E omits a main verb, such as applied, that ,in grammatical context here , is required after is

虽然这题较易做对,但是和og204 一样,在看解释前我无法看出it is in reference to有何不妥,只能试着从"不影响表达下,动词结构优于名词结构"这一GMAT潜规则理解.

longman里面的例句：
It is precisely in reference to such functions that the issue of royal control arises.
对照本题E：
it is in reference to people apparently incapable of feeling compassion or the pangs of conscience.

E 错在哪了？

我觉得，可能是因为In the reference根本无法表达refer to的意思。

可是又拿不出证据……………………

另外，

it is in reference to people，是否存主谓宾的不一致呢？还是说也

勉强可以？？

補習班上課講義

in reference to=with reference to (prep phrase): concerning, about, in connection with
EX: I have nothing to say with reference to this question.
EX: He spoke in reference to the new plan

所以放在這一題裡面，我的理解是about的意思，把(E)句的applied補回來（照OG的指示）
(E) it is applied in reference to people
比較之下意思怪怪的(it is about)，沒有(C)選項來的清楚。

個人淺見歡迎指教。

我觉得Ｅ的错误关键用了people，而前面一句是单数形式 an especially brutal criminal

行缘

感觉　in referrence to 时 concerning, about的意思，只能做状语,不能做表语，若作表与改变意思。

It is precisely in reference to such functions that the issue of royal control arises中，是强调句，应为，issue areises precisely in reference to functions, 所以还是做状语，与E不同。
