Women are expected to be the majority of students entering law school this fall, a trend ultimately placing more women in leadership positions in politics and business.
Women are expected to be the majority of students entering law school this fall, a trend ultimately placing
The majority of students entering law school this fall are expected to be women, a trend that will ultimately place
The majority of students entering law school this fall are expected to be women, which will ultimately place
It is expected that the majority of students entering law school this fall will be women, a trend ultimately placing
It is expected for women to be the majority of students entering law school this fall, which will ultimately place
本句a trend ultimately placing ... 明显不是状语而是同位语,因为a trend 概括了前面的预计女性占比高的情况,与独立主格做状语的用法有明显区别。既然不是状语,那么placing的时态就不依赖于前面的动词了。placing这里仅仅是trend 的定语,整个短语的意思就是“使得女性地位提升的趋势”,而其同位的趋势是女性是预计要发生的,因此才存在时态上的问题。
C和E中的which,修饰了整个句子,排除。
真正“be expected”的是学生的构成,而不是“women”。
ultimately最终,蕴含有发生在未来的含义,通常搭配will,如:A poor diet will ultimately lead to illness. 糟糕的饮食终将导致疾病。

-ING modifiers don't have a tense. they automatically adopt the tense of the clause to which they're attached
expected to be暗指希望发生
4、-ING modifiers don't have a tense. they automatically adopt the tense of the clause to which they're attached
1、this fall修饰的对象有歧义。
2、ing往往表伴随,wil才表预测。明显不是伴随啊。
3、ltimately蕴含有发生在未来的含义,所以应当搭配将来时,所以是will ultimately place
4、-ING modifiers don't have a tense. they automatically adopt the tense of the clause to which they're attached.
AD两项都错在because of the participle placing, which wrongly indicates that this trend is already placing more women in leadership positions
A还有错的原因是 this fall的位置,可以用来修饰整句,表示今年秋季被认为,也可以用来修饰今年秋季入学的学生。
ultimately蕴含有发生在未来的含义,所以应当搭配将来时,所以是will ultimately place【来自曼哈顿语法Chapter10】
ultimately通常要搭配will来表示未来
注意点:ing的现在进行含义;将来时态;时间副词位置防止歧义。
majority/minority and plurality既可以跟复数又可以跟单数,具体要结合语境,The majority of the students in this class are hard workers.
从句有动词可以表达时态
补充一下RON大神。a is wrong because of the participle \\'placing\\', which wrongly indicates that this trend is already placing more women in leadership positions
A还有错的原因是 this fall的位置,可以用来修饰整句,表示今年秋季被认为,也可以用来修饰今年秋季入学的学生。
一定要注意小词的位置 读题的时候就要往偏了读看看会不会又歧义
ultimately蕴含有发生在未来的含义,所以应当搭配将来时,所以是will ultimately place【来自曼哈顿语法Chapter10】
ultimately通常要搭配will来表示未来
if you have an appositive modifier that is an abstract noun - such as strategy, figure, statistic, findings, situation, change, difference, etc. - then such an appositive may be allowed to describe the entire situation described in the previous clause.FROM RON
-ING modifiers don't have a tense. they automatically adopt the tense of the clause to which they're attached.
对于主句的概括性总结,首选概括性同位语,而非独立主格形式
考点:句子结构、指代一致、逻辑表达
句子结构-(概括性)同位语,a trend 概括前面描述的现象。
指代一致-which 指代,which 和同位语结构同时出现,表明应该用同位语结构,因为 which 不能指代
前面整个句子。
逻辑表达-修饰,分词和 that 从句修饰一个名词,要看从句是否有表达分词不能表达的逻辑含义,如
果是则选从句,反之选分词修饰更加简洁。
be expected to 暗含将来时
选项B trend名词作为概括性同位语修饰前句。概括性同位语一般用概括性的名词去概括前面的修饰对象(短语或句子)。
选项D:
a trend ultimately placing ... 不能理解为独立主格,逻辑不对。
c/e. which形容对象不对
a/d.placing women 的time frame 和句子中的哪一个部分都不太符合
a. expected对象有问题
