我是搜到的这道题的讲解。

谢谢各位以上的解答。

我理解该句子的完整版应该为：

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than the proportion that soaring television costs had accounted for in any previous election.

 

还是有个疑问，我想问一下

A选项到底是错在it不能指代前面出现的proportion还是A选项的时态应该为过去完成时呢？谢谢！

选B阿。
C的they从逻辑上应该指代"比例",从语法上复数they无法指代单数proportion,只能往前指代costs,逻辑错误,此其一. 其二,即使逻辑上没有问题,they可以指代costs,那么后面的have been是什么意思? 成本曾经是如何? 跟前面的accounted for动词不对应,要对应就得用have done.
Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than the proportion that soaring television costs accounted(had accounted)for in any previous election. 这是完全版，按照省略法则， 把该省的省去就可以了。

A的it无指代对象,因为前面是"costs",要指也该是"they"
C的时态错了,前面一句话说1992年的事已经是过去时了,后面这句说"in any previous election",既然是"previous",那么一定是在1992年之前,如此一来就应当用过去完成时了.

accounted和previous election暗示这个句子的总时态应该是过去时，故C不对。

正确答案到底是A，还是C啊。我认为应该为A才对。

支持C， they have been 是说的现在，是到现在开始为止和所有以前的比较。有什么错啊。1992 是最耗电视费用的到目前为止。是用现在完成时啊。有什么错。

各位NN!

请问D/E中的which有什么问题吗？还有， greater有问题吗？谢谢！！！

我的英国朋友解释为THEY只能指人不能指物

kenlilys

C的they指代谁? 从逻辑上应该指代"比例",从语法上复数they无法指代单数proportion,只能往前指代costs,逻辑错误,此其一. 其二,即使逻辑上没有问题,they可以指代costs,那么后面的have been是什么意思? 成本曾经是如何? 跟前面的accounted for动词不对应,要对应就得用have done

突然想起, MM问这些问题前有没有搜过以前的讨论?
