题目分析:
本题考点十分简单,只是考查了not only…but also…连接的两者需要在语意和语法上均保持平行。整个题目只有选项(A)中not only…but also…连接的两者是平行的,所以答案为A。
选项分析:
略。
C, they are not only adding stores but also in combination with fast-food chains, 从省略的语法上来说是可以的,they are adding stores and (they are) in combination with fast-food chains,连词的省略是否恰当关键是省略是否会引起歧义,不会引起歧义的省略就是合适的。这里主要是语意的问题,他们在增加商店表示一个动作的进展,be in combination表示状态和结果,二者不能平行。这也是action noun可以和complex gerund平行,却不能和simple gerund平行的原因,doing sth强调动作的进展,the/one's doing sth以及creation/arrangement/combination等动名词强调结果和状态。
A,not only/but also是从属连词,后面接动词时不用接助动词,构成don't only/but also
如:The Americans and the British not only speak the same language, but also share a large number of social customs.
C, the chains they build complexes where ……,where……修饰complexes,表示他们在complexes可以做……;the chains they build complexes,they build complexes不可以做定语修饰chains,因为先行词没有在句子中充当成分。只能把they build complexes看成是省略了that的同位语,同位语起解释说明先行词内容的作用,chains的内容并不是they build complexes,同位语错。这里应该要加一个where,他们在chains里build complexes。
