这题今天有了新收获，拿来分享给亲~~参考了大牛BB姐的心经~~~
这么理解，possessive is an adjective. 也 ...

旺财财，你看这是在阅读小分队练习看到的一段话：
Stopping the pest requires knowing the right perp. When the first of an estimated 1.2 million coconut palms started dying five years ago, authorities in the Philippines initially blamed an insect called Aspidiotus destructor. This pest has caused prior coconut die-offs in Indonesia. But researchers’ detective work led them to conclude that a closely related bug, A. rigidus, has been doing the dirty work.
这里是researchers'  但是后头用的them
这种指代在G头应该是不行的哒嘎？

但是如果M L's 指代不到 her  那第一道题D选项是个神马情况呀？

你看看这个栗子

Tom's room was tidy, so his mother praised him.
为什么错？
因为Tom's 整个作为形容词存在。所以说him是啥？没人知道。
你如果说"Tom"，ok, 那him就可以指"Tom"这个noun。但是这里是"Tom's"，是个adj.，

阅读和SC要求不一样。只做参考不做标准材料~~

补个刀~~
Hi everyone!

I have another question quite the same here:

In addition to her work on the Miocene hominid fossil record, Mary Leakey contributed to archaeology through her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and through her painstaking documentation of East African cave paintings.

A. Mary Leakey contributed to archaeology through her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and through her painstaking documentation of

B. Mary Leakey contributed to archaeology by her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstakingly documenting

C. Mary Leakey was a contributor to archaeology by discovering the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and with her painstaking documentation of

D. Mary Leakey’s contributions to archaeology include her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstakingly documenting

E. Mary Leakey’s contributions to archaeology include her discovering the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstaking documentation of


OA is A.

Here seems like D and E have parrallelism errors Razz

Tom's room was tidy, so his mother praised him.

你如果说"Tom"，ok, 那him就可以指"Tom"这个noun。但是这里是"Tom's"，是个adj.，

话说我想讨论的就是这个栗子！！
我懂起这个him是指代不到Tom的, 这个是不用多说，公认的指代不到~


但是前面这个tom's是不是可以指代到his
如果说tom's 是adj ,不能作先行词
那换个角度想
这个His是所有格，这个tom's 也是所有格
在都是所有格的情况下， 有没有可能  tom's = his    呢？?
换句话说：这个his的he 是不是tom?
我记得这个好像是有题可以证明能指代到的，所以你看第一个问题的ML'S 才可以指代到 her

1.In addition to her work on the Miocene hominid fossil record,  Mary Leakey contributed to archaeology with her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstakingly documenting East African cave paintings.

C.Leakey was a contributor to archaeology with her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and with her painstaking documentation of
D.Leakey's contributions to archaeology include her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and her painstaking documentation of
这道题的正确答案D 是不是可以说明有这种用法， her =leakey's  --->  she= leakey?
