The spectacular disintegration of a comet last year in full view of ground- and space-based telescopes provided new insights into how comets form and may thus force a rethinking of the role of comets in the delivery of organic compounds to the evolving Earth.

E.Last year, in full view of ground- as well as space-based telescopes, the spectacular disintegration of a comet has provided new insights into how comets form and may thus force


我想问的是A中的may和过去时态可以平行吗？是不是用might更好？

还是说这里and的平行有另外的说法？

。。。。。时态不是问题吧。。。。

might和may互换就改变原句的含义，可能性的大小！


完全可以平行


这个在OG都能找到例子。只要没错就行


OG#12 56.      Many of the earliest knownimages of Hindu deities in India date from the time of the Kushan Empire andwere fashioned either from the spotted sandstone of Mathura or from Gandharangrey schist





我都快把OG的题目背下来了。。。

A的结构就是：The disintegration provided ..... and may thus force ......
对于情态动词的使用may与might是可以互换的（赵丽丽SC语法讲解）

。。。。manhattan的SC明确说到不能乱换

这不是时态是问题。。。


已经是意思层面了。。。

啊。。。。。我知道M说保证原文情态动词的使用，这个这个半年前就听得录音课说：”may 和might可以换啊，含义不会改变，但是其他情态动词不可以的“。。我去！！！又被XDF骗呢。。。。

我没见到。。may和might互换没改变意思。。。至少在manhattan的第四版。。。

sisichen666

翻来了XDF的笔记。。。

May/ Might表示不肯定的猜测，都表达可能性，可相互替换。与中学语法不同的是，GMAT语法认为两个词含义没有程度的差别，互换时不认为错。May/might 不大涉及时态，可以互换。

　　例如Lan292-13 /Few people realize that the chance of accidental injury or death may be as great or greater in the “safety” of their own homes than in a plane or on the road.改为may be at least as great in the “safety” of their own homes as。情态动词不能随意添加、省略和改变， May出现一般原文是谁就是谁。May可以看成等于might，但不等于can，即may不能随意改成can。。。。

可能是他们机构自己总结的东西吧。。。反正就当做一个rule记得了。。。
但是感觉考查情态动词的题一般都是重复使用或者是语气改变。。。具体到这种好像并不明显
