: GWD3-Q4
:
: A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times the price,
: per milligram, (as) the drug's maker charges for another product
: with the same active ingredient.
先看看句意:
一個新的生髮水要賣三倍價,每毫克, (as)
(這個價錢跟) 製造商charge 另一件含有同樣活性成分的商品(的關係)
看看筆記 倍數的用法:
1. three times as much/many as
2. three times the n.
3. three times what it is....
4. three times bigger/higher than ..
certainly, 比較的東西要平行
: A. as
沒找到 much/many as -> rule out
: B. than
對像不平行 -> rule out
至此倍數的可能性就沒了,所以要趕緊想到可能不是考倍數用法,繼續看下去
: C. that
使用relative pronoun來說明the price 文法跟句意都可通
: D. of what
後面有一整個子句 必須用that來開啟
: E. at which
"at" awkward, 後面的charge 固定接for
不知道誰要at which

: GWD5-Q10
:
: (Marconi's conception of the radio was as a substitute for the
: telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is)
: precisely the opposite, a tool for communicating with a large,
: public audience.
:
: A. Marconi's conceptioin of the radio was as a substitute for the
: telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is
: B. Marconi conceived of the radio as a substitute for the telephone,
: a tool for private conversation, but which is
: C. Marconi conceived of the radio as a tool for private conversation
: that could substitute for the telephone; instead, it has become
: D. Marconi conceived of the radio to be a tool for private
: conversation, a substitute for the telephone, which has become
: E. Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the
: telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than what it is,
:
: * GWD解答: E
: * PP解答: C
看到instead和選項在此處作變化,我就先刪掉D E了 因為沒有保留這個語氣
(conceive of "to be" 也不對 片語是conceive of X as Y...)
A的conception of ....was as.... akward 你翻成中文就知道了
C比B好的地方在於it有明確指代 它用that讓第一句的主詞感明確 用分號讓it明確要
對應上一句的主詞
B的which我覺得會讓讀者不確定要說明哪一個
就近原則是"a tool for private conversation" 但這樣會跟後面的句意不合
這題不容易
有請其他大大幫忙解釋、指正

推 teeed:感謝您詳盡的解答!不過GWD3-Q4這題還有個小疑問,為什麼D選項 10/27 20:16
→ teeed:of what不行呢?what後面也可接子句呀!what引導的子句當作名 10/27 20:22
→ teeed:詞連同of一起修飾前面的the price.還是說這樣就會變成前面 10/27 20:24
→ teeed:3 times (adj)和後面of what S+V (adj)重複修飾the price? 10/27 20:25
