正确答案是C没什么问题,但是OG上说A项
Furthermore,the dependent clause startingwith suggesting
may be construed with either the evidence
or the scientists, which makes this version
unnecessarily ambiguous.
但是A项中主句已经是完成时,suggesting只能是scientists的定语啊,为什么OG还这么说呢?

我的个人理解如下:原句可以补充成evidence which has been gathered by scientists suggesting, 如果这样的话这个suggesting的确是混淆的,因为既可以做evidence的定语 又可就近做scientists的定语。究其原因就是如果按A的写法,属于一个非限制性定语从句,A中的which既然可以省略,则定语suggesting就没有特定的修饰对象,既可以是evidence又可是scientists。所以OG应该是正确的。 再啰嗦一下,GMAT考试中最最忌讳的就是从句+谓语+从句的形式,选择A的话明显就是违背了GMAT SC考试的原则。所以不用纠结哈。

而且,要区分开句子语法正确性和逻辑正确性,GMAT SC看重的是句子在保证逻辑正确的情况下,语法正确且句子简练。

也就是说,这道题的A,从语法上的正确性上看,suggesting是修饰scientists并没有问题;但是从逻辑正确性上看,suggesting理应修饰的是evidence(只有它才能suggest),因此会存在混淆歧义。

看了superbat的回复,明白了,原句说evidence has been gathered,就说明已经完成了,所以suggesting就不可能做evidence的伴随(prep08上说的完成时不能伴随),不过还是谢谢你啦

你可以把这个情况当成 比较情形 的一个特殊情况来记。 它更等同于【同一事物在不同时期不同状态的比较】

Something is much earlier/ easier than sb. previously believed/ thought. 这是一种约定俗成的比较表达方式。

弱弱地问下,C选项的suggesting就近修饰evidence,能改成suggested吗,因为前面是现在完成时
