OG 1 的再再次提问

1.  The Wallerstein study indicates that even after a decade young men and women still experience some of the effects of a divorce occurring when a child.

(A)  occurring when a child

(B)  occurring when children

(C)  that occurred when a child

(D)  that occurred when they were children

(E)   that has occurred as each was a child

Choice D is best. The phrasing a divorce that occurred when they were children correctly uses the relative clause that occurred to modify a divorce and includes a pronoun and verb (they were) that refer unambiguously to their antecedent, men and women. Choice A incorrectly introduces the when... phrase with occurring, thus illogically making divorce the grammatical referent of when a child; furthermore, the singular child does not agree with the plural men and women. B replaces child with children but otherwise fails to correct A's errors of structure and logic, and C corrects only the error created by occurring. Choice E includes an incorrect verb tense (has occurred) and wrongly replaces when with as. Also, each was does not properly refer to men and women.

OG 中解释说 Choice C only the error created by occurring. 是不是说 把Choice C 改成

that occuring when a child 就对了，请问各位是不是这样解释的。如果这样的话，那么 when a child 岂不是和句子中的young men and women 不一致了？

通读好几遍OG的解释，还是没有完全把握。

No.

"Choice A incorrectly introduces the when... phrase with occurring, thus illogically making divorce the grammatical referent of when a child;"  “ furthermore, the singular child does not agree with the plural men and women. “

选项 A 用了 when ... occurring 错，而且单复数也不对。

“and C corrects only the error created by occurring“

C 只改了选项 A 用了 when ... occurring 错 的错误。而单复数不对应错误没改。

楼主：比较错误选项和正确答案的差异明确错误之处。
