GWD 补充题 24-23

E 的错误多了。

1。 which 指代不明：根据句意， which 应该指代extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess，但是在 E 中，which  只能指代 storminess；

2。 to impact the most on people  表达有问题，既不应该用表目的的to do，impact ... on 也不地道。

3。 主宾倒置，强调的中心完全变了。

1.哪点证明which只能指代storminess? 在逗号格开的情况下, which有可能指代前面紧跟的词语,也可能指代前面的整个名词词组.  如果把which 变成all of which, 我想应该比较清楚了吧, 也就是说这个时候, which不一定只指代紧跟的词语.

2,the most我感觉应该是程度副词,修饰impose, 而impact很明显此处是不及物动词. impact on是习语.  至于 are those to我不是很肯定, 但此处不是表示目的, 有点象the first people to do 的用法样,表示前者的动作

3.对于此处be引导的系表结构, 主宾倒置,没有影响逻辑意思, 就如: 李明是班上成绩最好的<=> 班上成绩最好的是李明.

1. Yes, in English grammar, 'which' can refer to more than just the immediate noun.

Take a 2nd look. We all know in Gmat, 'which' refers to the closest noun. If you want to insist on the reference of 'which', it can refer to either        'extremes' or        the 3 parallel nouns following it.

Hence, 'which'        指代不明.

3. choice A:

         The most obvious effects would be extremes.

                         (this is only the sentence structure)

                choice E:

                Extremes are those to impact the most on people.

         You see the difference? That's what I mean 强调的中心完全变了.

BTW, there are many outstanding inidviduals here and I personally believe that the mutually respected goal is not to comepete with insiders, but to compete with outsiders. Please, do not quote personal IDs in your example to illustrate your point. That will degrade my credit and might make others uncomfortable. Thanks for your consideration.

If certainly, my respond to your questions, including only my personal view, offended you, I'm truely sorry and will try not to make the same mistake again.

此处由于which are,指代的是复数名词,没有指代不明确的问题, (OG中很多都是通过这种数的变化,来表明指代对象的)

"强调的中心"变了? 如果逻辑意义没变, 或者变成了更符合逻辑了,都不是错误的.

loook   簡單的說  e中which就是不知道該指代extremes 還是temperature, precipitation, and storminess  所以錯了   因為兩者都是用are當謂語的...   另外impact...on的用法也是不好的   impact當名詞後面直接加on較好

A用AND连接两个部分不对，把AND改为NAMELY为好，AND前后是同一事物则不能用AND连接，假比张三是学校校长，你只能说张三，即学校校长，不能说张三，和学校校长，用AND就是并列两个不同的事物，不能并列同一事物的不同表达，当A中有明显语法错误，而E中不有语法错误，我选E，因为虽然E与A语义不同，但如A中逻辑错误或有明显错误，则原语义可被改变。但E的表达好象也有问题，extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess, which are the most obvious effects, are those to impact the most on people，后面两个分句可并为一句，are the most obvious effects to impact on people most， 同时，are those to impact the most on people的表达是错的。

老鼠九条命

I think A is right if the ", " between effects and and is deleted.

偶选的是E

which 的用法在OG中出现过很多次，要根据句意来判断其修饰哪一个 这里which后面用了are明显是修饰extremes的，不可能去修饰三个并列的名词（偶好想没见过这样的用法）

A中的那个逗号很奇怪

还有就是would be 和are的问题 在这个句子中用哪个好？请教！！

我想A是对的吧?E的EXTREMS OF...被动用法违背了ETS语法的原则.
