题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:Unlike身后是商业(mainstream American businesses),而其主句的主语是失败率(the failure rate for businesses),两者不可比。
B选项:比较错误同选项(A)。
C选项:比较错误同选项(A)。
D选项:本选项的错误在于表语上,因为选项的主语是rate,是一个比率,而表语是half,在逻辑上比率只能是50%(50percent)而不能是一半,即,我们可以说:
the rate of mainstream American businesses failing is 50%.
但不能说:
the rate of mainstream American businesses failing is half.
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
while带的句子,不需要跟后面主句严格对应parallel,即不需要一定是rate和rate对比
连词while后是从句时,可不用平行结构,除非是省略主语的短语句子,这时两句主语要一致。
while带的句子,不需要跟后面主句严格对应parallel,即不需要一定是rate和rate对比
由于不是unlike连接进行的比较,所以,可以主语前后不一致。并且D项相比于E项来说wordy
A: The rate of mainstream American Business failing is more than half.
B: More than half Mainstream American business fail.
A Should be an awkward sentence because 将可以动词化的fail 变成了rate的修饰成分。
比率不能是一半
嗯嗯,比率不可以是half,be动词要求前后两个名词性质一样
D 中心词错误;half错误
DE比较,系表结构弱与 实义动词
D选项除了half不对之外,American businesses failing也很awkward,因为失败是一个已经完成的动作,而不是状态
我知道whereas 要求前后各个部分平行;但while没有这种要求吗?
