题目分析:
破折号中的using Web sites, public meetings, and mass mailings是插入语,不影响主干结构,因此本题的主干为:
The organic food industry has organized a successful grassroots campaign that has convinced the Department of Agriculture
选项分析:
A选项:定语从句that have convinced the Department of Agriculture的先行词应为a successful grassroots campaign,即,这个草根运动劝服了the Department of Agriculture。因此,由于campaign是单数,所以应将have convinced改为单数动词has convinced。另外,also是副词,表示“也”,和并列连词and之间在语意上重复。
B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
C选项:介词短语in convincing the Department of Agriculture需改为定语从句 that has convinced the Department of Agriculture。这是因为,介词身后只能是动名词短语,而动名词短语在字面上没有主语。例如,我们说,a bag for sleeping,这个词的意思是,睡袋。这完全不等同于a bag that sleeps(一个bag没法睡觉)。在本题语境下,发出convince这个动作的肯定是a successful grassroots campaign,即,草根运动劝服了政府,因此必须用定语从句。
D选项:并列连词and不能换为as well as,as well as使mass mailings与前两项变为从属或递进关系,而在逻辑上,网站,公众集会,广发邮件应是单纯的并列关系。
E选项:介词短语in convincing the Department of Agriculture错误同(C)。
C by using不行;in convincing不行
【主句+ by doing】这个结构用by doing 解释主句如何发生
例如 i prepared for the test by reviewing takeaways on the MGMAT forums. 看论坛解释了我如何准备考试
C选项:’using Web sites, public meetings, and mass mailings" 没有解释 “如何oranize campaign“,因为 campaign本身 = use Web sites, public meetings, and mass mailings
using和by using修饰的对象不同:by using A, B, and C修饰的是如何organize;而using A, B, and C修饰的是grassroots campaign。+by改变了原句的意思。
【主句 + in doing】主句里的谓语动词 必须是 doing的一部分,
例如i solved all the problems in OG12 in preparing for the GMAT.
解决问题solved 是 准备preparing GMAT的一部分。翻译为【在这件事中】。
C选项:organize是后面convincing的一个动作,逻辑不合理
The organic food industry has organized a successful grassroots campaign—[using] Web sites, public meetings, and mass mailings—[that has convinced] the Department of Agriculture to change the proposed federal regulations for organically grown food.
有机食品行业组织了一场成功的草根运动——利用网站、公开会议和群发邮件——说服了农业部改变拟议中的关于有机种植食品的联邦法规。
