1. The Wallerstein study indicates that even after a decade young men and women still experience some of
the effects of a divorce occurring when a child.
(A) occurring when a child
(B) occurring when children
(C) that occurred when a child
(D) that occurred when they were children
(E) that has occurred as each was a child
答案没有问题.
但我觉得对E选项中对as和when的区别解释地很模糊:
Choice E includes an incorrect verb tense (has occurred) and wrongly replaces when with as. Also, each was does not properly
refer to men and women.
这个解释等于没说.
as有一个用法是表示:当什么时候
而when也有如此用法.
这两个的区别是什么?
我找了一下GRE GMAT 和 LSAT 好象as用做:当什么时候的用法好象很少见.
还请指教!
多谢!
as clause action is related to the main clause's action. "as a child" is talking about the speciphic group, so this expression has nothing with time. when clause normally uses to talk about time or periods. for example, ...when he is a child. or ... when he is 10 years old.
