A recent poll indicates that many people in the United States hold a combination of conservative and liberal political views; i.e., they denounce big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting many specific government programs for health care, education, and the environment.
they denounce big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting
they denounce big government--they say that government is doing too much and has become too powerful--but supporting at the same time
they denounce big government, they say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful, while they support at the same time
while they denounce big government, saying that government is doing too much and has become too powerful, at the same time supporting
while they are denouncing big government--they say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful-- supporting at the same time
B:As soon as we say "they say" again, we've started a new independent clause. That's not okay. Also "they denounce...but supporting" doesn't work
C:they denounce……,they say……缺少连词. Also "at the same time" needs to come BEFORE "they support." If they place it afterwords, it sounds like the people are going to be supporting TWO things "at the same time."
D:"While" starts us off in something dependent, then both "saying" and "supporting" are opening up participial phrases. while引导从句,缺主句
E:while they……,supporting at the same time,缺主句。同C,at the same time位置放置的不好,这样会有supporting TWO things at the same time 的歧义。
A、they denounce big government, while supporting specific government programs。 supporting 做伴随状语,表示伴随发生的情况,他们谴责大政府,尽管伴随着还支持特定的政府项目
根据语意,形成转折关系的是denounce,和support。saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful应该作为状语修饰denounce,阐述人们谴责政府的具体表现
A、they denounce big government, while supporting specific government programs。 supporting 做伴随状语,表示伴随发生的情况,他们谴责大政府,尽管伴随着还支持特定的政府项目
Ron: specifically, 'while they ... too powerful' is a subordinate clause, which means that the rest of the sentence must be an independent clause (i.e., a clause that could be its own standalone sentence) to make grammatical sense. unfortunately, it isn't; there is no main verb, only a present participle ('supporting').
(C)they...,they两个句子中间缺少连词,故排除
(D)(E)while...,这是一个分句,后面必须有个主句,故排除
