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
D、E如果要把while放在前面,那么后面support的那个从句则需要有逻辑主语来构成一个独立从句,例如while thy denounce/are denouncing..,they support/are supporting...
while连接两个句子时,在主语相同的情况下,可以省去主语,但必须接动词ing的形式,即:while doing sth. 所以此处supporting的主语就是they。
A:The main verb is "denounce." From there we have two things happening "saying government is doing too much...WHILE...supporting many specific programs." Saying/Supporting is parallel.
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。
C中缺少连词
(D)(E)while...,这是一个分句,后面必须有个主句,故排除
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
分号;左右两边连接的是独立的句子->rule out choice d,e
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
E、while they are denouncing big government——supporting specific government programs,while做从属连词,后面的supporting只能做从句(加一个and),while they are denouncing and supporting,缺乏主句。不能补足成while they are denouncing big government——they are supporting
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
D句子不完整
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').
A: they denounce while supporting.
while在这里表达的是转折的意思
(B)but和前面they denounce的句子平行,but后必须跟句子,故排除
(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
