(A)Informing (B)Informed  (C)To inform  (D)By informing

為什麼答案是(B)？

2.Traditionally, males have been more likely to be portrayed as clever,
heroic, and adverturous in these books,______ females have been more
likely to be shown doing domestic chores.

答案是(A)
但是我選(D)，我想問，為什麼不能選(D)？然而~我覺得念得很順@@a

但是很想知道為什麼答案會選那個
謝謝

推 valerieshu:1.如果我被告知有新信，我會立刻告訴你
→ valerieshu:2.while 是連接詞  however是副詞
→ valerieshu:1.沒看清楚，應該是如果我被告知「最新消息」
→ nclhhu:所以句中間不能接副詞的意思囉@@a謝謝
推 Electroche:連接兩個句子一定要有連接詞阿 不然就是寫成; however,
→ Electroche:利用semicolon間兩個句子分開
→ nclhhu:喔~~了解~~謝謝^^
推 aweful:news is informed of..被動語態,所以選B.
→ aweful:while是同時代意思,however有相反對比度意思.
→ aweful:如果後面強調femails不clever,heroic...則用however.
→ priv:however當連接詞時是「不管」的意思
→ priv:while在強調對比的時候個人覺得通常可以翻成「而」
→ priv:如果用分號或句號後面接however，比較偏「不過」的意思
→ priv:=nevertheless
