Re: [問題]OG-SC-67
※ 引述《A2GMAT (A兔GMAT)》之銘言：
: ※ 引述《chenemily (天天保持好心情)》之銘言：
: : Affording strategic proximity to the Strait of Gibraltar, Morocco was also of
: : interest to the French throughout the first half of the twentieth century
: : because they assumed that if they did not hold it, their grip on Algeria was
: : always insecure.
: : (A) if they did not hold it, their grip on Algeria was always insecure
: : (B) without it their grip on Algeria would never be secure
: : (C) their grip on Algeria was not ever secure if they did not hold it
: : (D) without that, they could never be secure about their grip on Algeria
: : (E) never would their grip on Algeria be secure if they did not hold it
: : 請問這題該怎麼解?
: : 我原本是想說it指代不清 因為有可能指代Morocco or the Strait of Gibraltar
: : 但是每個選項都有It
: : 而且OG好像不認為it有指代the Strait of Gibraltar的可能
: : 他只說再C & E會有指代Algeria or Morocco
: : 除了用代名詞還有其他可以判斷的地方嗎?!!
: : 請高手幫忙囉 <(_ _)>
: 通常我不建議用指代不清解題, 比較建議您改變判題角度, 用“是否有必要使用代名詞”
: 這點, 比較不會將正確答案刪除.
: 基本上這裡可以先用concise看, if they did not hold it和without it當然後者比較
: 簡潔, 可以少用代名詞盡量少用, 符合gmat標準英文的看法
: 另外這裡也有考“與過去事實相反”的考點, 這點可以從assumed這個字眼判斷出, 對過
: 去事件做假設,這個時候if對應的主要子句最好有would, 表達假設語氣, 答案A的主要子
_____
: 句用過去式是在描述過去“事實”, 所以可以排除
務必要修正在這邊的一點：
如果是在正式的假設語氣(if中)「與過去事實相反」那麼主句並不只是加would這麼簡單，
正確的句子型式應該是if (過去完成式), S + would/could + have + Vpp.
If I had passed the exam, I would/could have come with you.
只加would+V是「與現在事實相反」的用法。
If I got a million dollars, I would do whatever I want.
舉例來說，這裡A選項的假設用法要改寫成
if they had not held it,
their grip on Algeria "would have been" always insecure.
如果誤選成是their grip on Algeria "would be" always insecure.
那可就錯大囉。
總結：話要說完全不能只說一半，
與過去事實相反的標準假設語氣主句不只有would，還可以有could，
不只要有would(could)，還要是would(could) have + Vpp.
