Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living, often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again.
"Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living, often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again.
(A) often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again
(B) whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again
(C) but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status
(D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again
(E) then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity
Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living, often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again.
(A) often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again
(B) whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again
(C) but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status
(D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again
(E) then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity
这里的答案为什么可以选择c呢?如果我选c的话这里的and不就不能形成平行并列了嘛?
为什么不平行?and前后的declines/regains是平行的啊,decline作“下降”意时本来就是不及物的,后面没法跟宾语。平行结构也并非要求结构完全一模一样。
同时一直有疑问,逗号+but后面连接的不应该是一个独立的句子嘛?这里似乎不符合要求啊
but不是非得连接句子啊,连词可以连接很多东西,名词,不定式,分词,从句,都可以。
这里就是连接两个并列的定语从句。1,who receives popular acclaim 2, whose reputation declines
BD的错误在于reputation declines after death and never regains its status这两个表述不能割裂开来与receives popular acclaim while living并列,要构成意思上的平行结构必须合在一起。
A和E都试图三段式平行,但后两段动宾结构和和第一段的从句结构不平行。
此题,but + whose从句,是正确的。
又例如 he said that A... and that B... 这里and连接两个that从句也是可以的。
此题,用排除法也可以选到C,排除法的方法是:
A, B, D 中的regain和again重复,不能选。
E是指composer decline, 也不能选(因为人不能decline,只能人的名誉decline).
the correct answer (c) contains 2 modifiers in a parallel structure. in such a construction, both parallel modifiers modify the same thing. (this is how parallel structures work in general, anyway: both parts of ANY parallel structure must have the same grammatical function.)
for instance,
i have a friend who can sing and whose dog can dance.
--> in this sentence, “who can sing” and “whose dog can dance” both modify “friend”.
the same is true with the two modifiers “who receives popular acclaim…” and “whose reputation declines…” in the correct answer to this problem。
Choice C, the best answer, maintains parallel structure, keeps verb tense consistent, and contains no redundancies. Choice A illogically suggests that it is the composer who goes into decline after death, rather than the composer’s reputation. Choice A may also be faulted for the redundancy of never regains... again. Choice B is not correct. Grammatically, a coordinating conjunction (e.g., “but”) is needed to join the clause whose reputation declines... with the preceding clause, who receives popular acclaim.... Furthermore, the phrase never regains... again suffers from redundancy. Choices D and E suffer from inconsistency in verb tense. To maintain parallelism the verbs must be receives... declines... regains.
