Despite recent increases in sales and cash flow that have propelled automobile companies' common stocks to new highs, several industry analysts expect automakers, in order to conserve cash, to set dividends more conservatively than they were
A.to set dividends more conservatively than they were
B.to set dividends more conservatively than they have been
C.to be more conservative than they have been in setting dividends
D.that they will be more conservative than they were in setting dividends
E. that they will be more conservative than they have been to set dividends
Key: c
看到aeoluseros等童鞋给的B的解释是应该在have been 后面加上setting或改为have set才对。。。
有没有哪位好心的给解释下为什么要补充上这个才对啊?前面不是已经有to set dividends了么??
其实比较很简单,
如果是主谓的句子,没有宾语,可以直接加比较的。不会歧义。
如果是主谓宾全的句子,则要分很多情况。如果主语比较,则A do sth than B do .是正解。
放到这题里边,set dividends more conservatly than ....
因为这里是实习动词set,所以than后面应该是用do..然后到底是怎么样要看具体语境的时态,比如这题。
再举个例子,the car is more efficient for (反正是有宾语)...than bike is。
因为这里是Is,是be动词,所以than后面用is ,are ,was, were,具体也要看语境时态呢,。
但是大结构是这样的。。。
我觉得你在这里困惑 不知道是不是
