※ 引述《chao2013 (---)》之銘言：
: 為了避免讓大家誤會，我還是把全部的選項貼上來好了
: Beyond the immediate cash flow crisis that the museum faces, its survival
: depends on if it can broaden its membership and leave its cramped quarters
: ------------------------------------------
: for a site where it can store and exhibit its more than 12,000 artifacts.
: (A) if it can broaden its membership and leave
: (B) whether it can broaden its membership and leave
: (C) whether or not it has the capability to broaden its membership and can
: leave
: (D) its ability for broadening its membership and leaving
: (E) the ability for it to broaden its membership and leave
: 答案是B
: 但我只是對D E 的ability用法感到有疑問而已，答案本身是沒問題的。
ability用在人或物皆可，但這不是個一定錯的答案，
這題為甚麼不選D、E，是因為B比他們更好
我覺得整本曼哈頓最有價值的一個概念叫做V-A-N原則
幫助你判斷什麼是GMAT判別「精簡」的優先順序
這題裡，能用can do （V）
就不要用the ability to do （N）
同理C也是一樣。
A選項則是GMAT的怪癖之一：if不能當「是否」用，只有whether可以。
至於VAN原則如何應用在各種題目上，可以參考我先前po的其他文章
多看幾題再加自己練習就能掌握了。

: : 剛剛看到題目，忽然有個疑問
: : ability只能用在"人"身上嗎？
: : "物"，譬如說museum是不是不太恰當？
: : 想請教各位，這是個一定錯的答案嗎？
: : 87. Beyond the immediate cash flow crisis that the museum faces, its survival
: : depends on if it can broaden its membership and leave its cramped quarters
: : for a site where it can store and exhibit its more than 12,000 artifacts.
: (D)its ability for broadening its membership and leaving
: (E)the ability for it to broaden its membership and leave
: : 因為我只對以上兩個比較有問題，其他選項沒問題我就沒貼上來了。
: : 謝謝大家！
