GWD-6-1:

The themes that Rita Dove explores in her poetry is universal, encompassing much of the human condition while occasionally she deals with racial issues.

1. is universal, encompassing much of the human condition while occasionally she deals
2. is universal, encompassing much of the human condition, also occasionally it deals
3. are universal, they encompass much of the human condition and occasionally deals
4. are universal, encompassing much of the human condition while occasionally dealing
5. are universal, they encompass much of the human condition, also occasionally are dealing

Answer: 答案D, 读起来老觉得不对劲，有几点请教：

1， encompassing much of the human condition while... 是作分词修饰主句，对吧？WHILE 是否可理解为作连词连接分词encompassing 和dealing ，意为当dealing的时候encompassing

2 － 若象STONEREN说的：“while doing sth是做时间状语，当主语重复时被省略，且助动词一并省略”，那完句应是：while thesies are dealing with racial issues. 这里为何用进行时态？

3，thesies deal with racial issues对吗？ 应是poetry deals with.. 更合理吧

STONEREN的发言：

1 － A中while occasionally she deals with和D中while occasionally dealing的主语是不同的，前者while从句中主语是she，后者while从句中主语是the themes； 2 － while doing sth是做时间状语，当主语重复时被省略，且助动词一并省略； 3 － also可以做副词，也可以做连词；但是，GMAT中一般仅仅将also作为副词考虑，所以当联系两个句子时一般用and also。

谢谢指教！

对

有没在其他发现类似的用法? 一般只见到WHILE+分句的形式

3，thesies deal with racial issues对吗？ 应是poetry deals with.. 更合理吧

poetry 和 themes 都是物，为何前者可以后者不可以？而且主语确实是 the themes。

另外 themes deal with racial issues 确实可以因为我不知它有这样的意思:

deal: Vi , to be concerned

婉如

分词跟时态没有关系，只是用现在分词表主动，过去分词表被动。
