The first decision for most tenants living in a building undergoing being converted to cooperative ownership is if to sign a no-buy pledge with the other tenants.
being converted to cooperative ownership is if to sign
being converted to cooperative ownership is whether they should be signing
being converted to cooperative ownership is whether or not they sign
conversion to cooperative ownership is if to sign
conversion to cooperative ownership is whether to sign
题目分析:
请注意,选项(A)(B)(C)中being converted to没有语法错误,这是一个动名词短语。
选项分析:
A选项:动名词短语being converted to cooperative ownership应改为名词短语的conversion to cooperative ownership。这点考查了名词和动名词的区别,用之于本题,这里讲的是“大部分租户在这种情况下(需转换为合作社所有权的情况)的第一个抉择是…”,这表示,这种情况不是只出现一次的(每个租户都会碰到这个问题,一人算一次,所以这个问题必然是反复出现的)。我们知道,反复出现的事情,必然是有时间终止点的事情,必须用名词短语。
在措辞上,由于引导的是表语从句,所以if应改为whether。(参考if和whether的区别)
B选项:being converted to cooperative ownership错误同(A);表语从句whether they should be signing a no-buy pledge with the other tenants需改为不定式短语whether to sign a no-buy pledge with the other tenants。这点考查了不定式和从句的区别。用之于本题,主语是decision(决定),其表语自然是主观性很强的,需要用不定式短语。
C选项:本选项错误同(B)。
D选项:if错误同(A)。
E选项:Correct.本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
BC中的They 是冗余的,因为原文已经说了most tenants. 排BC
Conversion( 转换这件事)比较 being converted (转换的状态)更优
whether(可做表语从句,宾语从句连词) if(条件) 两者择一,whether更优
A&B: 少成分考点 (they)

whether 和 if
两者选一,用whether
if表示如果,连词引导的从句
Also, we don't want to say "undergoing being converted." Like most uses of "being," this is awkward and unnecessary. In this case, we have a simple noun--"conversion"--so there's no reason not to use that.
undergo being冗长
be动词后面表是否时只能用whether,不能用if
本题,“The first decision for most tenants is whether to sign a pledge”. 已经有“for most tenants ”表明sign动作的主语,不需要再加they。
“ It remains to be seen whether or not this idea can be put into practice. ”这个句子则whether带了自己的主语。
1、undergo,动词,经历
tenants living in a building undergoing conversion to cooperative ownership,undergoing动词分词作定语修饰building,正在经历转成公司产权的建筑。
2、for/of sb to do sth为不定式的复合结构,一般情况下,不定式这一动作的执行者就是句子的主语。但是,有时不定式的动作执行者不是句子的主语,此时不定式的前面要加一个名词或代词来充当不定式的逻辑主语。如:
It's impossible for a child to learn everything.
She waved the red flag for the car to stop.
they冗余。undergo(v)being converted (o)
那A is if to sign 是否也是表语从句?
是的吧,视频中最开始没说。

being表达ad含义,和undergo本身的意思也重复了吧
关于“being”有一点不是很赞同老师的解释。
转换为共同所有权应该是修饰”building“的吧,那就不存在老师说的反复出现啥的。这个解释是不是就不通了。更赞同下面的这个解释
Also, we don't want to say "undergoing being converted." Like most uses of "being," this is awkward and unnecessary. In this case, we have a simple noun--"conversion"--so there's no reason not to use that.

"whether or not" is considered redundant on the GMAT.
Also, we don't want to say "undergoing being converted." Like most uses of "being," this is awkward and unnecessary. In this case, we have a simple noun--"conversion"--so there's no reason not to use that.
if 意为如果,一般引导条件状语从句,whether意为是否,可用于二选一,可以引导表语从句
pledge保证 抵押
BC:whether 后they should多余
A:动名词短语being converted to cooperative ownership应改为名词短语的conversion to cooperative ownership。
反复出现的事情,必然是有时间终止点的事情,必须用名词短语。表达这件事,而不是状态
如果理解成a building转换成公有所有制,不是就只发生一次转变嘛?
引导表语从句:只能用whether,不能用if
Personalized?No Process-oriented? No--用名词 而非动名词

再刷这个题,感觉这个“ a building undergoing being converted to cooperative ownership ”跟“a building undergoing conversion to cooperative ownership”意思是不是不太一样呢?
前者是a building undergoing (it)being converted to cooperative ownership,意思是这个楼被转换成合伙制。
后者“ to cooperative ownership”应该做宾补修饰conversion,这个转换是变为合伙制
不知道能不能这么想呢?。。
for most tenants (living in a building )undergoing
undergo是tenant的modifier,而不是building的
为什么不能是building呢,感觉也说得通啊
undergo 的主语得是人啊,最多是拟人化的国家。building发不出这个动作啊,你可以看看朗文里这个单词的例句。
The blunder made the underground instrument undergo an undermining of the thunderbolt.
这是这个失策让地下仪器经受了一次雷电的破坏。我在有道上找到的例句...感觉还是不太理解

SVC结构,主语decision主观性强,主补用不定式
毕老师,我有个问题: whether or not 在GMAT中算不算wordy?
这并不是考点哟~

if 在书面语中只能表示如果,不能表示是否。直接AD排除。
