It is unclear whether chimpanzees are unique among nonhuman species in their ability to learn behaviors from one another, or if, when other animals are studied in as much depth, similar patterns would be found.

 

 

(A) if, when other animals are studied in as much depth, similar patterns would be found

(B) if other animals were studied with as much depth they would exhibit similar patterns

(C) would similar patterns be found in other animals if they were studied in as much depth

(D) whether similar patterns would be exhibited in other animals that were studied with as much depth

(E) whether other animals would exhibit similar patterns if they were studied in as much depth

答案为E。看得出D有很多不合适的地方,比如主动语态更直接,depth跟in搭配更好。可是E里they和未划线的their明显指代的不是一个东西,又没有分号分成两个句子,这样也可以吗?

if they 在whether从句内,可以理解为指代other animals,代词指代确实比较复杂。。。。

D有一个致命问题,OR是连接词,前后平行对称。whether chimpanzees are是前半句重心,or后面应该也是whether XXXX V, D貌似把重心给改了,不知道对不对这样分析,高手再看看。另外if的问题就不说了,LZ应该看出来了,至于E选项的they修饰的应该是patterns,所以用被动,LZ在看看,我不很确定

赞ls,找出这能么多例子来,很彷徨到底是能不能按照代词指代一致来做题,难道they和their不一致就无所谓?

昨天问了XDF的老师,我说“如果出现they等指示代词,前面出现两个或两个以上的复数名次是否就可以认为指代不清,并做排除?”XDF说不行,不一定的。我还记得是同一个指示代词需要指代同一事物,不过没看到过例句,这里我同事还分析说they出现在their后面可能。。。。。LZ再想象又没有道理
