考题讲解

题目分析:
选项(A)的holding more than one percent是现在分词短语,做伴随状语,因此其主语和其所修饰句子的主语相同,即,a mutual fund;(B)中的it为形式主语,正常语序为to hold at least one percent or more of the shares of any particular corporation is rare,此时to hold部分为不定式作主语;(C)(D)(E)中hold的主语均为they(指代对象为assets)。

选项分析:

A选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

B选项:and身后的句子,即,to hold at least one percent or more of the shares of any particular corporation is rare应该做invest句的伴随状语。不能和invest句间具有并列关系。在逻辑上,“共同基金投钱进入数以百计的公司”这个事件的结果是“共同基金在公司中占据股份”,因此,两个事件之间应是因果关系而不是并列关系。(伴随状语可以表达因果关系)
另外,at least和or more中有一个是赘余的,都表示了最低是1%,需要删掉一个。

C选项:代词they的指代对象只能为assets或者companies。但在逻辑上,应该是基金持有百分之一的股份而不是资产或公司们持有百分之一的股份;另外,hold句应做invest句的伴随状语,该错误同(B)。

D选项:由they产生的逻辑主语错误同(C);hold错误同(B)。

E选项:由they产生的逻辑论元错误同(C);hold错误同(B)。
