A surge in new home sales and a drop in weekly unemployment claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as some analysts previously thought.
A. claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as some analysts previously thought
B. claims suggests that the economy might not be so weak as some analysts have previously thought
C. claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as have been previously thought by some analysts
D. claims, suggesting about the economy that it might not be so weak as previously thought by some analysts
E. claims, suggesting the economy might not be as weak as previously thought to be by some analysts
a选项中economy怎么和some analysts 平行啊?
自己尝试解读一下————
as.......as的原则就是前后一致,
A比较的weak的程度
the economy might not be as weak as (the extent of weakness) some analysts previously thought.
C比较的是economy
如果要比较economy前面的句子就不能是as weak as了
只能像下面这样
The economy might not be thought weak as (the economy) have been previously thought by some analysts
A选项和C选项比较的都是economy。
A选项省略的不是weakness,还是economy,这样两个economy才能比较是不是一样weak,因为我们不能说economy A is as weak as the extent of weakness of economy B。
至于C错误是和A比较出来的,C用了被动语态,在动作执行者明确、不强调被动概念时,比使用主动语态wordy。
