考题讲解

题目分析:
本题中有一个平行制造者not…but…。其所连接的两者需要在逻辑上和语形上保持一致。

选项分析:

A选项:not…but…为习语,不是not…rather…;as a sign that households were pressed for cashand forced to borrow和a sign of confidence by households在语法上不平行。

B选项:not…yet习语错误同(A)。

C选项:not as a sign和but a sign在语法上不对等,应该是not as a sign和but as a sign。

D选项:
Correct.本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。其中,they could safely handle new debt身前省略的that,实则这是一个宾语从句,可以把were confident看为一个谓语动词。

E选项:
首先,but后添加also是有问题的。also的意思是“也”,它是一个语气助词,通常表示和前句“同方向”的事物,例如,not only A, but also B. 我们知道,该复合句中,A和B的关系是“递进”,即,A和B两者是同方向的。在本选项中,households were pressed for cash and forced toborrow和they could safely handle new debt之间是转折关系,即,两者并非同方向,不应该在but后加also。
其次,本选项在were confident的身后是一个介词短语,该介词短语的核心词是ability。在选项(D)中,该部分是一个从句,核心词是谓语动词handle。但从逻辑上,无论是对能力有信心,还是对handle这件事有信心都说的通,因此这一点不同没有什么错误。
再次,safely是副词,应该就近修饰动词handle,即,应改为:
households were confident in their ability to safely handle new debt.
