再請教

[Behemoth]

你想請教哪裡呢?
是哪各選項不懂或其他?
可以寫清楚點喔~~

[shopcat]

這題應該是DE決選
我選了D可是答案是E
我無法理解為何是E

[Pufa]

這題應該是DE決選
我選了D可是答案是E
我無法理解為何是E

我只知道：
(D)although是連接詞，
表語氣轉折，後面接句子，所以前面要有逗點才行。

[shopcat]

那E要如何解釋ㄋ?

[agk99]

越到考試，越有這種怪題嚇人
我也不會，請教

[cocaine]

這題答案D哩..
句意比較ok
E說法怪怪的

[hcgh]

這道題現在收錄於TTGWD11-31

支持E, 語意上，even when(即使)的比although(雖然)還要好

[a-jan]

剛好做到這題，第一眼選 D

站內搜尋只搜到這題　　^^"
不過看到討論版上討論E , 看了看也覺的E 也可的感覺

我試著找 TTGWD11-Q31 的題目，我的版本也許有點出入，不能與上所說的題目答合，而這個題目是出現在我手上版本的TTGWD 22回中的第20題

先不管版本好了，只想請大家幫個小忙來確認一下..

Q20: TTGWD4-Q30:
Under high pressure and intense heat, graphite, the most stable form of pure carbon, changes into the substance commonly referred to as diamond and remaining this way whether or not the heat and pressure are removed.

A. remaining this way whether or not
B. remaining like that even as
C. remaining as such whether or not
D. remains in this way although
E remains thus even when

我的版本答案是 D　（討論版上說的 E 也可～　　那個好呢？？)

謝謝大家..

[阿琪]

(d)的in this way 的 this 做為指示代名詞(在gmat)是不妥的~
although從句意的角度看，是不太恰當滴！

(e) thus 可當作 " 如此","這樣","以此方式" (常被用來當"因此"來解釋，但這裡不是喔！)，因此合適。
even when 的句意較符合此題！

所以個人go for (e)~

以上參考嚕！

[dibert8]

from Merriam-Webster,
thus [adverb]
: in this or that manner or way <described it thus>

remain 是不及物動詞, (E) remians thus = remains in this way 這樣用應該沒有錯
(D) (E) 就變成選簡潔和句意了.(遇到這種題,只能希望自己是美國人!用考試技巧趕快猜一個短的,對了算矇到,不要浪費時間,考試不能查字典.)

[a-jan]

再再再次念了一次句意
加上阿琪和dibert8 的細心說明

E 真的比較順，而且較短.. 有時莫杯杯說ㄉ還是要用一下 ^^"

謝謝兩位的認真回覆..
( 要去多查字典和OG... 考G時，瞬間能變成美國人，有多好.. )

[Kal-El]

D(X): 僅是this way 指代不清.

[訪客]

Under high pressure and intense heat, graphite, the most stable form of pure carbon, changes into the substance commonly referred to as diamond and remaining this way whether or not the heat and pressure are removed.

A. remaining this way whether or not
B. remaining like that even as
C. remaining as such whether or not
D. remains in this way although
E remains thus even when

簡單解

Under high pressure and intense heat 與the heat and pressure are removed 呼應
故用when引導的條件子句 說明了在某種狀態下 當然優於although
選E
