198. Although Napoleon’s army entered Russia with far more supplies than they had in their previous campaigns, it had provisions for only twenty-four days.
(A) they had in their previous campaigns
(B) their previous campaigns had had
(C) they had for any previous campaign
(D) in their previous campaigns
(E) for any previous campaign
If than is followed by a clause referring to army, the subject of that clause must be singular (it). Furthermore, the verb of that clause will need to be in the past perfect form (had had) because it refers to a time before the simple past of entered. Finally, the preposition for is more precise than in because supplies are gathered for an upcoming campaign. Choices A and C incorrectly use the plural they and the simple past had. Moreover, A uses the less precise in. Choices D and E wisely dispense with the full clause and use a simple prepositional phrase. D, however, uses the imprecise in and the plural their. Only E, the best choice, avoids all the errors mentioned above.
我对OG解释中加黄色底色的部分有疑问,因为我觉得A中的错误就在于A中的代词与未划线部分中的代词在数上不一致,而had已经表明了过去完成时的含义,也就是说,如果A改为"it had in its previous campaigns"应该是可以的吧,它其实是"it had entered Russia with supplies in its previous campaigns"省略了与主句相同的部分。恳请各位指教。。。困惑ing。。。 |
