Q39:

Seldom more that 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, but it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, the Erie Canal connected the Hudson River at Albany to the Great Lakes at Buffalo, providing the port of New York City with a direct water link to the heartland of the North American continent.

1. Seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, but it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, the Erie Canal connected


2. Seldom more than 40 feet wide or 12 feet deep but running 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, the Erie Canal connected


3. It was seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, and ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, but the Erie Canal, connecting


4. The Erie Canal was seldom more than 40 feet wide or 12 feet deep and it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, which connected


5. The Erie Canal, seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, but running 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, connecting

答案给的是B。网上讨论的不是太清楚。个人认为a 较好。记得XDF的石林说过英文的否定句（GMAT 中）一定要有明确的否定词如NO。NOT ，而SELDOM，HARDLY是不属于这个范围的。因此本题用OR应该对吧。看以前的帖子，为什么说A的BUT不对称呀？

下面是whitesand MM的 意见。我赞同了。

39题

B中用or错。 因为or要么用在否定句中，要么表示选择关系（包括程度不同）。否定句必须有否定词：no, not。seldom 只是有否定意思的词并不是否定词，所以不是否定句这里应该用and。

C,E 没有谓语动词，句子结构不完整，也错

D 有3个错误：The Erie Canal was seldom more than 40 feet wide or 12 feet deep and it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, which connected

1. was seldom ...and it ran 构成runing sentence; 2. or 错；3. which 从句修饰 NewYork 错：

所以我选A

LES

A中最主要的错误是逻辑主语搭配问题，独立修饰成分位于句首，主句一定是以被修饰对象开始且是主句的主语。

且这里偶觉得是选择关系，是指深度或宽度上达到某一程度。所以用or。

volker

B的or应该是对的。

A的结构是 But A do, A do. 是错误的。

Thanks Les,

同意你说的逻辑主语搭配问题。但是OR 应该不是选择关系，不然意思上好象说不准确。我想只能理解为SELDOM 后可以加OR 的。

哎，有哪为NN可以吧XDF和GWD判断标准差异列出来呀？？都快蒙了呀，这样考试会翘辫子的。。。

Seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, but it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, the Erie Canal connected

Seldom more than 40 feet wide or 12 feet deep but running 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, the Erie Canal connected

It was seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, and ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, but the Erie Canal, connecting

The Erie Canal was seldom more than 40 feet wide or 12 feet deep and it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, which connected

这是啥理论？无论是肯定句还是否定句，or出来选择的意思，还有其他得意思吗？另外，“or要么用在否定句中，要么表示选择关系”是啥意思？我的理解是or要么用在否定句中，要么就是肯定句，而在肯定句中表示选择得意思。

那or在否定句中是啥意思？请教。

我觉得B的答案很清晰啊～

C,E 没有谓语动词，句子结构不完整，也错

B中用or错

逻辑意思永远是第一位的

拜托哪位NN分析下这个题的结构好不好？ 偶一头雾水

luxing

A中的BUT引导的句子放在那里，无论如何都不正确，不论是做从句，还是同位语。
