题目分析:
本题主要考查了关于“平行”和措辞的一些用法。
选项分析:
A选项:并列连词and需要连接两个相同的成分。本选项and身前是介词短语with higher-than-average blood pressure,身后是句子their families have a history of high blood pressure。两者无法平行。
B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。whose families have a history of high blood pressure是定语从句,其先行词为young people。这里的跳跃修饰是没有问题的。
C选项:本选项错误同(A)。
D选项:分词短语running in them是赘余的。families have a history of high blood pressure已经表示在家庭中有高血压的情况了。
E选项:介词短语with higher-than-average blood pressure和with a history of high blood pressure running in their family之间缺少连词连接,正确方式为:
young people with higher-than-average blood pressure and with a history of high blood pressure running in their family are more likely than others to develop a severe form of the condition.
看清楚横线划到哪里
E选项:介词短语with higher-than-average blood pressure和with a history of high blood pressure running in their family之间缺少连词连接,正确方式为:
young people with higher-than-average blood pressure and with a history of high blood pressure running in their family are more likely than others to develop a severe form of the condition.
there's no way that "...whose families have..." could grammatically refer to the blood pressure.
i'm pretty sure that the gmat restricts the pronoun "whose" to people and maybe animals; for instance, i don't think you're going to see something like "the can whose lid i ripped off" on the test.
by the way, the improper use of the conjunction "and" makes (c) not even a sentence at all.
AC,结构不平行
D,running in them赘余
E,如E所写,with前应有连词
B correct
A,C:and前后内容无法平行,前为with结构,后为完整句子
E:两个with结构之间缺少连词(老眼昏花了)
D:running in them属于wordy
B:对的,whose family...作定语跳跃修饰young people, 其实也可以看成不是跳跃修饰,是b先修饰a,c再修饰a+b罢了
E选项:介词短语with higher-than-average blood pressure和with a history of high blood pressure running in their family之间缺少连词连接,正确方式为:
young people with higher-than-average blood pressure and with a history of high blood pressure running in their family are more likely than others to develop a severe form of the condition.
这里的跳跃修饰是没有问题的。
平行,wordy 不要被 修辞挡住了主体结构
Young people with...and whose... 两个修饰是平行的,不一定非要with...and with...
错选E因为没看到and也在划线里面,E缺少and连词
c是 the 指代不明 d them指代不准确
如果A选项把have改成having,C选项把runs改为running,应该就对了。
AC and前后不平行,前面是介词短语with后面是句子了~~
C的错在于modifiers NEVER start with "and". the whole thing about the history of high blood pressure has to be a modifier, modifying the young people; not only is this not a modifier (because it starts with "and"), but it doesn't even tell us that we're talking about the young people's families. it merely says "the" family.
C: 并列连词and需要连接两个相同的成分。本选项and身前是介词短语with higher-than-average blood pressure,身后是句子their families have a history of high blood pressure。两者无法平行。
