一道GMAT语法题的分析检测
Building on civilizations that preceded them in coastal Peru,the Mochica developed their own elaborate society,based on cultivating such crops like corn and beans,the harvesting of fish and shellfish,and exploiting other wild and domestic resources.
A.based on cultivating such crops like corn and beans,the harvesting of fish and shellfish,and exploiting缺少介词的对应,这里的并列介词是不可以省略的.
B.based on the cultivation of such crops as corn and beans,the harvesting of fish and seafood,and the exploitation of
C.and basing it on the cultivation of crops like corn and beans,harvesting fish and seafood,and the exploiting of没有与之并列的对象,building on 是主语的伴随状语,如果想并列做逻辑状语就得挨着.
D.and they based it on their cultivation of crops such as corn and beans,the harvest of fish and seafood,and exploiting形式上不能构成并列,
E.and they based it on their cultivating such crops like corn and beans,their harvest of fish and shellfish,and they exploited结构混乱,同上
可是B并列的是the cultivation,the harvesting,the exploitation,名词和动名词是不能并列的啊,为什么B是对的?

Answer 1

b正确是因为它有最好的平行结构啊.名词,动名词不是不能并列,只是一般情况避免这样的并列.如果the harvesting 改成the harvest就更好了,可惜没有改.gmat永远是选相对正确的选项.
d,e选项的they指代谁?从语义看应该是mochica,但是显然是单数.如果指代civilization,那变成civilizations based it on...这个肯定错.
a选项不平行.
所以选b.其实一看就知道b比较顺眼啦.
c列举用such as ,like永远错.
