考题讲解

题目分析:
本题主要考查了关于“平行”和“核心词”两个方面的问题。

选项分析:

A选项:both…and…是平行触发语,需要保证其连接两者在语法上和逻辑上要严格平行。真正平行的两者是这个公司挣的钱表明了两件事情:一是他们重新改革bottling system成功;二是低利率把一些跨国公司或者多国运营的公司的利润给放低的程度。因此,真正平行两者是“成功”和“程度”,即,both the success and extent。

B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

C选项:本选项在平行处没有问题,但the extent定语部分的核心词有误。改定语部分是介词短语of poor currency exchange rates keeping down profits for multinational companies,其核心词为poor currency exchange rates。在逻辑上,“程度”应是降低的程度,而不是汇率本身的程度(汇率没有程度,只有汇率升高或降低的程度)。 因此,本题中extent必须用定语从句来修饰。

D选项:both…and…连接两者不平行。

E选项:平行错误同选项(D)。
