Seeming to be one of the few corporations diversified enough to survive the recession, many shareholders ignored the drop in third-quarter profits and invested even more heavily in Emco.
(A) Seeming to be
(B) As if
(C) In that they seemed
(D) Although it seemed
(E) Because it seemed to be


谁能解释一下这句的意思 ,it 是不是指 Emco

vagrant

it是指代Emco.

该句A，B错在逻辑主语----shareholders seeming to be, 而且B中的as if 用在此不妥。

C 中they 与要指代的one of the few corporations(Emco) 不一致。

D不符合seem to be的用法，although 也不如because 清楚地表达句意要表示的因果关系。

记得OG中有一体题和这题及其类似：

Because it seems to be the only union..., sb. .....

1，seem to be+ 客观事实----看上去肯定真实的东东。seem+主观印象。区别不总是明显的，经常能混用。


2，名词短语前经常用seem to be。只有在着重表现主观感受的名词短语前，to be 可以省，尤其在英国英语中。
