第一次做错了。认为这个选项中,circling修饰jupitar有歧义。 网友解释:如果不加逗号,会引起歧义,修饰的是Jupiter;如果加上逗号,修饰前面句子的逻辑主语

跟之前doctor那题一样,犯同样的思路错误。circlin的动作发起者是80 massive planets 并不是astronomers.

circling other stars正确修饰planets most of them做插入语,不影响独立

Any how, why this sentence use "most of them" rather than "most of which are at leasta s large as Jupiter, circling " Thanks if you use that version, then you're introducing a certain amount of ambiguity into the attribution of the modifier "...circling...". namely, because you've introduced a modifier that's a CLAUSE, you have now opened up the possibility that the modifier modifies that clause, rather than the original phrase it's intended to modify. this would be bad, because, in this second interpretation, "circling..." would actually be taken to modify just the majority of planets that are at least as large as Jupiter, rather than all the planets in question as intended. in other words, if you introduce that sort of construction, there are now 2 ways to interpret the sentence: (1) the intended interpretation: the modifier, which is set off by commas, is to be neglected in the interpretation of the sentence, and "circling" is to be taken as if it followed "planets" immediately, without a comma (because that's the way it would be if the modifier were removed - neither of the commas would be there anymore). (2) the modifier is to be taken as "comma + -ing", a construction that modifies the preceding clause. this is the source of the aforementioned ambiguity. -- the original version of (c) is better, because it doesn't possess this ambiguity: (2) is no longer possible, because we can't interpret the modifier as "comma + -ing". if we tried, we'd be stuck in a quandary, because the preceding words are a phrase, not a clause. interpretation (1), however, still stands: it's a modifier that, in essence, directly follows "planets" and therefore modifies that particular noun.

svo, most of them+as large as...,doing 中间逗号插入语拿掉,doing紧接着o,分词做后置定语。 插入语部分是独立主格结构。

most of them是独立主格形式的插入语,去掉插入语同时也去掉逗号,circling 修饰其前面的名词plants.

as large or larger than一定错误 as。。。as /more than 搭配不能少词 at least as large as正确表达 most of them at least as large as Jupiter是插入语,去掉后,circling自动和planets连上,做后置定语修饰

因为中间部分是插入语,插入语在结构上是独立的,不与其他部分发生直接关系(类似于,which...,),所以逗号外的circling与插入语的朱皮特是没有关系的,不会造成歧义。 circling 可以跳过插入语修饰,好像-ed -ing可以跳插入语修饰名词

as large后面一定要加as more a./ad. 后面一定要加than 所以as large or larger 后面到底是加as还是than?所以这种结构的必错 circling 修饰 planets
