: : 這邊可能要跟您確認一下「成份詞」是甚麼,
: : 因為文法上的用語其實大家互有歧異,我也沒沒補過習,不太知道一些文法的專有名詞
: : 剛剛上網GOOGLE了一下成份詞卻一無所獲,想說這應該是您個人獨特創見,
: : (如同三民主義是國父獨特創見)
: : 因此在這邊請教,願聞其詳。
: : E. birds overcome by pollution and routinely falling from the sky above Los
: : Angeles freeways were prompting officials in California to devise a plan
: : to reduce
: : overcome是Vpp(被動修飾) falling是Ving主動修飾,
: : 看到這個我就會覺得怪,儘管都是分詞後位修飾,GMAT很少會這樣平行
: : [以上更正]
: : both 'found in the philippines'** and 'resembling a hummingbird'
: : are participial modifiers. one of them uses a past participle
: : (actually a passive participle: the bird is found, passive voice)
: : and the other uses a present participle (an active participle),
: : but they are used in parallel.

: 呵呵, 我猜想你可能會這樣解, 不過被版友搶頭香捷足先登了, 基本上gmat是允許主被
: 動的平衡, 甚至是主被動分詞平衡, 大家常常認為主被動不能平衡可能是microsoft微軟
: 用太多, 在word系統下, 主被動平衡是不好的, 但是gmat卻是允許, 再加碼個兩句:
: OG12-42. Scientists have recently discovered what could be the
: largest and oldest living organism on Earth, a giant fungus that
: is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles
: spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and
: extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.
: 以上spawned被動分詞和主動分詞extending平衡
: OG12-36. Dressed as a man and using the name Robert Shurtleff,
: Deborah Sampson, the first woman to draw a soldier's pension,
: joined the Continental Army in 1782 at the age of 22, was injured
: three times, and was discharged in 1783 because she had become too
: ill to serve.
: 以上主動動詞joined和被動動詞was injured及was discharged平衡
: : 再加上細讀之後發現overcome跟falling之間只有並列連接(關係最薄弱):
: : 「受到汙染的且墜落的鳥...」
: 這樣變成要解比較艱澀的平衡概念上要對等, 比較難有明確標準
: : birds overcome by pollution routinely fell from the sky above Los Angeles
: : freeways
: : 「受到汙染的鳥從天空上墜落」因果關係較前句好
: : 另外,were prompting無必要使用進行式。

: 小心一些狀況:
: GWD-30-Q1
: The artist Renoir’s last word was “flowers,” spoken as they
: arranged a bouquet of roses just picked from his garden in a vase
: on his bedroom windowsill.
: A. as they arranged a bouquet of roses just picked from his
: garden
: B. as a bouquet of roses had been just picked from his garden
: and was being arranged
: C. as a bouquet of roses just picked from his garden was being
: arranged
這種情況我通常會用抉擇時比較考點的優先原則來看:
先看強考點(如慣用語、一致性等等)還有句意,然後是弱指代(普通代名詞指代)
最後才是看冗長。
這裡的they無所指代。A會刪掉。
B則是將原本的主從結構改成了並列結構,屬於句意重心改變。
最後C選項雖然寫的不是那麼漂亮,但是已經算是相對較好的答案了。
GMAT的正確答案,永遠都是五個選項裡「較好」的,而不是整個英文世界裡最好的寫法。
所以永遠要提醒自己「好,可能還有更好;而差,可能也不會太差」
: 答案C是從A選項的簡單式改成進行式was being arranged
: 所以現在出題者瞭解全球考生都會用一些技巧來刪題, 慢慢會出一些陷阱題,

: 在句尾ving結構喜歡考的相對錯誤選項就是考“邏輯表達”問題, 也就是動作的
: 邏輯主語是一般性名詞(birds),還是含動作的事件(birds falling from the sky)
