[討論]SC885SSC885-補充題-4 NO.87=>be v.s. become

[游客]

87. The debate over bilingual education centers on the issue of whether the United States should foster the idea of single common language, an idea, some believe, that has in the past been crucial in binding diverse constituencies together.
(A) been crucial in binding diverse constituencies together
(B) been crucial as a binding together of diverse constituencies
(C) been crucial to bind together constituencies that are diverse
(D) become crucial in binding together diverse constituencies
(E) become crucial to bind together constituencies that are diverse

The answer is A
I want to discuss two topic.
1.what's different between be and become in this question?
=>In my opinion, be = become, but it seems not to work in this question.
2.What's different between "binding together diverse constituencies" and "binding diverse constituencies together".

notice "in the past"
you should not choose "become" but "been"

I have the same question with you on the second part.......
But i remember that i seldom see "binding together + N"

是呀，ABC選一個，我選C，錯錯錯
但問題來了
B的binding together是不好
但C呢，to bind together 和A的in binding diverse有何不同
這題一樣，看不懂句意，請繼續討論

簡單說一句...
c比a好是因為簡潔的關係
a直接用形容詞diverse...但c用子句that are diverse...
所以選a (H)

請問本題 together的位置需要考慮嗎

我查了一下朗文字典，發現其實是bind 這個字的用法
大家看了下面的用法應該就會明白
要學起來 bind sth together

[LONGMAN]
bind:
def: form a connection [transitive] to form a strong emotional or economic connection between two people, countries etc [= unite]
bind somebody/something together
ex: Their shared experiences in war helped to bind the two communities together.

學起來了....

[johnnywoods]

cruical in 和 crucial to 有什麼差別呢？因為我一開始從 C與E選答案，根本沒有想crucial in答案選項啦

[sunnyblue13s]

根據朗文字典...
crucial in/to +doing something
crucial to S.T.

文法真是深ㄚ...我看考場上~~還是不要直接用介係詞判斷好了.....
我在PP上常吃了這種虧~~秒殺結果被殺死~~

[dibert8]

是也!除非自認運用介係詞像美國人喝牛奶,吃漢堡一樣.
to +V 兩原則: 1. 表動作, 2. 表目的
(C) (E) 這兩個都不是,所以不能選.
be 換到 become 如果 be 的句意合理, become 就改變句意 => (A) (B) 選一個.
(B) 文法錯 (together 不是名詞,怎麼加冠詞?), 就剩 (A) 了.
