题目分析:
本题只要能看懂,找到平行理应不难。本题的意思是:
几个世纪以来,海上航行的人通过三个步骤洗衣服,一是把脏衣服放在结实的包里,二是把这个包扔出船外,三是用船拖着这个包几个小时。
选项分析:
A选项:如题目分析所说,place, toss,和let三个动作是三个不同的步骤,三者理应保持平行。
B选项:平行错误同选项(A);由于未划线部分已经出现了代词they,指代对象为people,所以本选项中出现的代词them和they均需和该代词的指代内容一致(同一句中,相同代词的指代对象必须相同)。
C选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
D选项:代词them错误同选项(B);平行错误同选项(A)。
E选项:平行错误同选项(A)。
本质都是洗衣服的三个步骤,可以拆开来看:
When in doubt about parallelism, better strategy is to break up the sentence
For centuries, people on sea voyages washed their clothes by placing the dirty laundry in a strong cloth bag
washed their clothes by tossing it overboard,
and washed their clothes by letting the ship drag the bag for hours
哈哈哈天哪 第三次错选A,
A里面的toss it overboard和washed并列,而没有和placing并列。但是逻辑上placing tossing, letting应该是三个并列的动作。
所以,以此就可以排除所有错误选项啦
错选D
C正确 当时没选是觉得it代指clothes不对,但实际上it代指的laundry
注意胃划线部分还有their的出现,代词统一
by placing it。。。。
没注意
在C和E里面纠结了下,其实And是一个信号,如果讲的是洗衣服的两个步骤,那么placing和tossing之间还应该再有一个and. 否则缺少连词。
简单题,平行
