并列句子,the unemployment rate 指的是Dutch ,无歧义
三个国家三个独立经济,所以用economies 正确
主谓一致 and消除歧义
analogy: the high-class society of miami and ft. lauderdale --> makes sense. the two cities share one high-class society. the high-class societies of miami and ft. lauderdale --> makes sense. the two cities have separate high-class societies. the high-class society of miami and of ft. lauderdale --> doesn't make sense. the high-class societies of miami and of ft. lauderdale --> makes sense. the two cities have separate high-class societies.
D选项中,with的用法:with后面加事情名词,或者加一个主语拥有的东西;表达对这个东西的拥有导致了后面的主句 这里的Dutch economy不可能拥有the unemployment rate。 另外,D中的the economy of Britain, France, and Germany 看起来像这三个国家share了同一个economy
首先D最大的错误仅进在于后面with引导的伴随状语的逻辑主语Dutch economy错误,其次: 个人认为用the economy of Britain, France, and Germany和the economies of Britain, France and Germany都是可以的。 在GMAT中曾经有一题提到过类似用法,用的是单数: A mixture of poems and short fiction, Jean Toomer's Cane has been called one of the three best novels ever written by a Black American—the others being Richard Wright's Native Son and Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. 说明单数和复数的搭配并没有问题。 而本题后半句the unemployment rate has remained well below that of the other three countries中后面没有用unemployment rates,按照规则比较结构中单复数不一致、时态不一致都是要重新补出的,但是这里用了that,说明后面用的是单数。并且GMAT不会那么荒谬地认为那三个国家公用一个unemployment rate,所以说明仅使用that即已可以表达出三个国家各自的增长率。 而且在日常英语(非GMAT语境)中the economy of Britain, France and Germany和the economies of Britain, France and Germany都是可以的,类似的有birds have four-chambered hearts和birds have a four-chambered heart都对,因为根据常识不会有歧义。
语法--由比较对象秒杀ABC, DE中比较 句意--D中的with the unemployment rate 没了是啥
关于指代:前面是单数名词,后面如果要指代,只能用that,如果需要表达复数意思,那么只能重复这一名词的复数形式,如economy-economies,不能随意改成those, ets视之为指代错误。
考比较,首先,比较对象应该是经济,而不是国家,其次,最后一句不能用with引导,逻辑不同,with通常是修饰或者伴随。
若指代前面的economy可以用that 但是这里指代的是Britain, France and Germany的economies 所以不能用those 要直接用economies
