在外网求证到B选项应该是:
(B) Inhabitants of the area around Lake Champlain claim sightings of a long and narrow “sea monster” similar to the one reputed to live in Loch Ness, which, like Lake Champlain, is an inland lake connected to the ocean by a river.
这里少了一个逗号,导致which后面没有谓语。
A like the one , 对比了inhabitant
B
C Loch Ness's monster is an inland lake
D monster和inhabitants
E that live in Loch ness 和 inhabitants
这个还是要好好读清楚BC选项,C选项后面说的是湖,但前面的主语却是lake's
inhabitants claim sightings of sea monster similar to the one live in Ness, which, like Lake, is an inland lake.
A中的like the one 好像是在说inhabitants,错误;D是拿monster和居民比,错误;E中similar to that reputed和inhabitants在比,错误。
原来这个one指的是sea monster, 我还以为是一个居民的意思,所以特地选了a
正确但是超时,在犹豫the one reputated to live指的是monster还是inhabitants
考察:
like引导的比较对等;
1. Loch Ness和Lake Champlain比较对等;
2. 只有b比较对等,但是因为Loch Ness, which, like Lake Champlain is an inland lake的is前没有逗号,就没选
B选项的Champlain少了个逗号。
As written, the phrase Like the one reputed to live in Loch Ness . . . compares the one to what comes immediately after the comma directly after the river, namely inhabitants of the area around Lake Champlain. That is surely not the intended comparison.
The intended meaning of the sentence, of course, is that the “sea monster” reputedly sighted at Loch Ness is like the “sea monster” reputedly sighted at Lake Champlain.
