39. GWD21-Q39:Almostlike clones in their similarity to one another, the cheetah species’homogeneity makes them especially vulnerable to disease.A. the cheetah species’ homogeneity makes themespecially vulnerable to diseaseB. the cheetah species is especially vulnerableto disease because of its homogeneityC. the homogeneity of the cheetah species makesit especially vulnerable to diseaseD. homogeneity makes members of the cheetahspecies especially vulnerable to diseaseE. members of the cheetah species areespecially vulnerable to disease because of their homogeneityOA: E有两个问题:1. B究竟错在那儿?B中的单数the cheetah species(species表物种,单数)能不能和复数clones对比?(我搜到一个帖子说B错是因为单复数不能直接对比?第一次听说这条规律表示严重怀疑!)

被annie re出来,才发现之前这个问题被我忽略了。那个说单复数不能直接对比的说法是不成立的,lz的怀疑也是值得赞赏的~ Like physics and chemistry, biology is a natural science. 这句子没问题,biology和"physics and chemistry"可比,尽管biology单数而"physics and chemistry"复数
B的比较错误,不是语法问题(所谓的“单复数不能比”),而是逻辑问题。 逻辑上,clones和species不可比,clones和members of the species才是可比的。 |
