[問題] Manhattan GMAT一題修辭
Although they are less obvious, termites does significantly more damage
---------------------------------------
to homes than branches from trees.
-------------
(A) termites does significantly more damage to homes than
(B) termites do the most damage to significant homes than do
(C) the termite does significantly more damage to homes as do
(D) termites do significantly more damage to homes than
(E) termites do significantly more damage to homes than do
答案E, 詳解如下：
The singular verb “does” does not agree with the plural subject
“termites.” Additionally, the meaning of the original sentence lacks
clarity. Does it mean that termites do more damage to homes than to branches,
or does it mean that termites cause more damage to homes than branches do?
Logic dictates that we are meant to make a comparison between the amount of
damage caused by termites to the amount of damage caused by branches.
不知道是不是我理解錯誤，我看這題的時候，覺得應該是白蟻對房子的傷害比對樹枝的
傷害大。可是解答好像是寫白蟻對房子的傷害比樹枝對房子的傷害大，
好怪喔...是我看錯解答的意思嗎？
