求助MANHATTAN上的一道题，关于in contrast to

cher6068

Antigenic shift refers to the combination of two different strains of influenza; in contrast, antigenic drift refers to the natural mutation of a single strain of influenza.

A. influenza; in contrast, antigenic drift refers to the natural mutation of a single strain of influenza

B. influenza, different than the natural mutation of a single strain, known as antigenic drift

C. influenza, in contrast to the natural mutation of a single strain, known as antigenic drift

D. influenza, different than antigenic drift, which refers to the natural mutation of a single strain of influenza

E. influenza; in contrast to antigenic drift, which refers to the natural mutation of a single strain of influenza

请问为什么C不对？

sherilynchi

这题考得是句意

关于antigenetic shift和drift的不同定义（你要明确这个是比较的核心！！这是两个概念在比较）

C的in contrast to后面跟的不是要和主句主语比较的名词，错误

LS的大神说的对啊，你看到A就要感觉到这是哪两个东西在比较，所以可能就是考的比较结构
C的话根本是一个fragment啊，分号两边都要是完整的句子才行，你自己读读都读不通嘛！

更正一下


C选项没有分号，只有逗号


其实这个句子语法上是说的通的，就是比较对象不对等


in contrast to/with都是可以接受的（前者比较常见）；反正可以把in contrast to当成unlike来处理

嗯 谢谢大神！

你说的对，做题时不能只看语法，还要看GMAC出题的重心。

这道题考的就是比较，还是越对称越好。

呵呵谢谢！
