这是目前2nd verbal分册的112题，我从CD下载的word版分册从这题开始答案不全了，等于113题也没答案，就这2题不全，不过113题还好，是OG10的263题，可以找到答案，但是我查了所有prep，大全和GWD都没有112题 ，还有Topway的帖子目前也只有这一个，所以只有分册这一个资源了。虽然OG的答案不全，如下：Grammatical construction; ParallelismThe main point of this sentence is to identify the federal government as the largest single provider of children’s day care. It goes on to illustrate this with two examples that need to be presented in grammatically parallel form. Because the second example is given as a relative clause beginning with which supported private, the first example must be similarly presented. The opening statement must therefore present government as the predicate noun so that which clearly refers to government in both of the examples.
A Tie two examples are not in parallel form; the first begins with a present participial, offering, while the second is presented as a relative clause, which supported. . . .
B The antecedent for the relative pronoun which is ambiguous.
C The first example, introduced as a compound verb of the subject federal government, is not parallel with the second example, presented in a relative clause.
但是我认为是选E，从前面一段解释中也能看出，因为后面未划线部分有and which，定从修饰前面名词，那么前面肯定也是有which平行的，E改变语序后government正好在逗号前面了，which.. and which..修饰government。所以LZ合适一下哪里的答案是D? 应该是选E作者: modernre 时间: 2012-10-11 20:28
还有对于LZ的问题，我认为C was.. and offered.. 平行，这个是可以的，但是往后看后面是and which，肯定没法解释通了，所以我觉得必须得注意一下未划线部分的内容，我自己做了这些题后比较有心得，未划线部分的提示很多。D 项我觉得有2个问题：
1）一个是介短in the 1980s在children后，歧义修饰children了，是介短位置不对导致的修饰歧义，这种问题在OG的题里作为考点的不太多（我目前也只是做了OG的题，其他还没做），关于介短修饰歧义，我自己记录的是：
介词短语放在主语和谓语之间容易引起歧义,可以作定语修饰主语,也可以作状语修饰谓语.在作状语的情况下,通常将其位置移到句首,介词短语在句首只能作状语.(介词短语+ing表示方式可以放在主谓之间)
2）句尾ing - offering作为伴随修饰，前面是主系表结构，后面应该是对于前面所述内容的进一步解释，我认为这个表达是可以的，但是还是后面未划线部分的问题，and which肯定要与前面的平行，否则and后面不可能引which从句。
我也是才接触G没多久的菜鸟，我的总结也大多是基于前辈的笔记和精华，所以希望NN指正，大家讨论！
