[問題] SC 987 NO. 23 [second 和secondly 用法]

[Grace]

23. A recent New York Times editorial criticized the city’s election board for, first of all, failing to replace outmoded voting machines prone to breakdowns, and secondarily, for their failure to investigate allegations of corruption involving board members.

(A) secondarily, for their failure to
(B) secondly, for their failure to
(C) secondly, that they failed and did not
(D) second, that they failed to
(E) second, for failing to

Answer: E

請教大家 second 與secondly 用法有何區別?? 為何這一題要用 second, 而不用secondly 呢?? 表列舉時, 是不是只能用second? 那secondly 又做何解釋?

Dear Grace：

本題考平衡我想你應該知道.....但是除了for+ving平衡以外....

你看看first of all應該要對什麼呢?對了...就是second....

若題目是用firstly....那麻煩請選用secondly...

這樣可以嗎?

Oh, I see......
所以 first of all 須搭配 second, firstly則搭配secondly 構成平衡囉!!
