老师,请问C和E相比,语义的差异实在那里呀?
我只看出来一个做定语修饰benefits,一个做状语修饰整个句子。
谢谢老师!
第一个是定语一个是状语已经是非常大的成分差异了。
如果是选项C,那么意思是把退休收益项目添加到时薪增加里去。这在逻辑上不正确。“退休收益”和“时薪增加”应该分别是雇员们寻求的两项福利。这两项福利本身不会自己相加。

request the increase, not the wages. 所以D的were不对!!!
D项 were是increase的谓语,应该用单数
请问AB项都可以用added的逻辑主语是employees来排除吗?
D:that的指代问题,应该指代increase而不是wages,were错
C:语意
这句话的意思是:铁路工人在上个7月份提出了涨工资,随后现在他们又计划扩大自己的退休福利。因此两个事情应该是并列关系,或者说是在涨工资的基础上,又怎么怎么了
首先看added to 想到 动词的主语逻辑主语是谁 真正的主语又该是谁
C明显不可以现在项目的红利加到去年的什么工资上去
in addition to 除了 理解错误
D:that的指代问题,必须指代increase而不是wages
C:语意
核心词increase 不能用were
d的that代指就近,wages, 但是requested不是wages还是increase
request the increase, not the wages. 所以D的were不对!!!
逻辑主语问题排除AB,C的逻辑关系不正确,听起来像是两个东西的捆绑,排除C;D的Were不正确,应该用Was,选E
ABCD有硬伤
1、the increase in hourly wages that were requested中的that代指increase,是单数应该用was requested
2、are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits added to…不合理,因为added to the increase in hourly wages,前面更合理的应该为seeking to have an expanded program of retirement, an expanded program of retirement 被added to the increase in hourly wages意义上更合理
AB中added的逻辑主语错误,直接排除
C没有语法错误,但C的语义有问题。人们现在seek的 expanded benefits和the increase in hourly wages并没有added to的黏着关系,而in addition to表示的是一个除此之外的关系,并不是附着关系,added to错误
D有语法错误,按照正确的逻辑,that指代的应该是increase,所以这里应该用was;或者可以理解为:这里用了were,所以that指代的就不是increase么认识wages,这与语义相悖了...
请问 In addition to 是否存在修饰主语the employees of the railroad不搭配的问题呢?
At the beginning of the sentence, you can use the “in addition to” to add another example to the subject. You can also use it to add another example to a different noun in the sentence, such as the object of the verb or some other noun.
In addition to taxes, death is inevitable.
In addition to Munster Cheese, I like Swiss.

被request的是increase,不是wages。。。。呃。。。
但是ADVANCED的第34题里,错误选项Cunderwritten会被判定为就近修饰programs 所以不对。只能说这道题里D有硬伤,但是D如果把were改成was,应该是要比E更准确吧?
对吖,d这里用了were就是修饰wages了,所以不对,如果改成was那就d更准确。34题的话c选项相较于正确选项会产生歧义所以排除。这题是有绝对错误,34题是择优。
明白了,所以过去分词作(n+prep+n)的后置定语时,造成的只是相对模糊而不是绝对错误。如果有其他选项避开了这个指向模糊,那就选更好的;如果其他选项错得更离谱,也不能觉得这个是错的。之前背的语法点是过去分词只能修饰紧邻名词,看来不能依赖背语法点对付gmat鸭
我觉得gmat感觉不能较真的一个考试,主要还是像老师说的抓主干看意思吧,尽量找最合理的解释,不要给选项挑错,加油哦!
确实是语义为王,今天下午就要上考场啦,希望能过TAT

虽然但是,E中的requested 作为过去分词为什么不会被判定为就近修饰wages?
in addition to可以加在主句的任何成分上,不仅是主语
根据题意,题目想要表达的是 除了the increase in hourly wages requested last July之外,exployees ... 故 added to 应该用 in addition to ,ABC错误
D选项,were 应该用 was
想问一下,E选项中requested 作为过去分词为什么不会被判定为就近修饰wages呢?感觉有点怪怪的
问得好
首先说说在GMAT中that 和which 定语从句的区别,that定语从句通常可以跳跃修饰,而which一般是修饰前面离它最近的名词;
第二说说语义,能看出来题目想要表达的是request the increase in hourly wages;
最后就是在GMAT考试中,正确选项通常会避免一些模棱两可或者有争议的问题,能用非谓语动词的就不会用定语从句,因为非谓语动词不用考虑时态问题以及单复数问题,而定于从句必须考虑这些,所以通常非谓语动词会是正确选项
希望对你有帮助,祝考试顺利!
学习到啦,谢谢~
请问 In addition to 是否存在修饰主语the employees of the railroad不搭配的问题呢?
不存在,in addition to 后面接的是名词 increase 不是动词,所以句子的主语employyees和前面的 increase 不存在什么搭不搭配的问题。如果in addition to 后面跟了动词,那可能要考虑句子的逻辑主语和in addition to后面动词动作的发出者是否一致的问题。
