标题: 问一下OG13上的一道题 [打印本页]

作者: dadaowuxing 时间: 2012-11-3 07:18 标题: 问一下OG13上的一道题

The use of lie detectors is based on theassumption that lying produces emotional reactions in an individual that,in turn, create unconscious physiological responses.

A.that,in turn, create unconscious physiological responses
B.that creates unconscious physiological responses in turn
C.creating,in turn, unconscious physiological responses
D.to create, in turn, physiological responses that are unconscious
E.who creates unconscious physiological responses in turn
正确答案为A。我想问一下是谁create了unconscious physiological responses呢？为什么OG解释上是说主语应该是emotional reactions，而我感觉应该是an individual发出的。

首先，that clause里面的in turn明显表达的意思是：lying produces

emotional reactions. Emotional actions, in turn, create

unconscious physiological response.如果是individual的话，那要in

turn 给谁呢？

另外，最简单的办法 THAT cannot modify people in GMAT.

当然non modifier应该遵循就近原则，像Manhattan SC里面的一个例子：
Wrong: Jim biked along an old dirt road to get to his house, which

cut through the woods.
Right: To get to his house, Jim biked along an old dirt road,

which cut through the woods.

不过这道题里面A是最好的答案。

我做的时候选了E，但是后来一想，把in an individual 拿掉句子也是对的，

题目里面明明在说lying和emotional reactions之间的事情，an

individual没有对应的事物。

更重要的是reaction, response(in turn)能够在意思上恰好对应起来。
