考题讲解

题目分析:
除掉答案选项,本题的其它均有不止一处错误。因此比较容易选出答案。

选项分析:

A选项:“很少宽于40 feet并且深于12 feet(seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep)”和“流经363英里(running 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York)”两者均在描述某条河流,所以两者应该平行,本选项中两者一个是词组,另一个是完整句,在语法上不平行。

B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。but身后是一个现在分词短语,做主句的伴随状语

C选项:“很少宽于40 feet并且深于12 feet(seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep)”和“流经363英里(running 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York)”两者应该是转折关系,因为宽度和深度较差的河流应该无法流的很远,本选项中两者为并列关系,不正确;but身后应该是完整句,不能是一个名词。

D选项:
“很少宽于40 feet并且深于12 feet(seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep)”和“流经363英里(running 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York)”两者的关系错误同(C);which connected是定语从句,就近修饰New York,这使得connect的主语为New York,但connect的逻辑主语应该为the Erie Canal。

E选项:
整个句子缺少谓语动词。
