这题争议颇多。 baby版主认为不能作为状语,参见 http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-740934-1-1.html?userid=-1&extparms=ThreadCatalogID%3d0 dukb24版主认为可以作为状语,见本帖。 Patrick_GMATFix 也认为可以做状语。http://www.beatthegmat.com/rhetorical-construction-diction-t117466.html I don't have a problem with "earning"; it can introduce a modifier that gives additional information about the preceding clause. I'm not sure why the official explanation doesn't like "earning" because I don't understand the justification given. My problem with C is the use of "where" to refer to "a time". My problem with D is the use of "in which" to refer to "a time" and the presence of "such" in "so X such that..." What I can say however is that if the author wishes for the underlined portion to describe records specifically, 'earning' is not well suited because -ing introduced modifiers that follow a comma typically modify the entire preceding clause or the subject at the head of that clause. To modify the noun just before the comma (ie "records"), the modifier should begin with a relative pronoun (ie "which were earned at a time..."), a noun (ie "a feat accomplished at a time...") or an adjective/past partiple ("earned at a time...") -Patrick 我个人比较倾向于babybearmm的理解。理由见36楼 -- by 会员 yakev6 (2012/11/26 12:36:54)
