GMAT語法改錯學(xué)會運用排除法(三).

　　最后我們再看一道題來說明從幾個都是錯誤的選項中來找出一個相對正確答案的應(yīng)用。

　　3.The modernization program for the steel mill will cost approximately 51 million dollars, which it is hoped can be completed in the late 1980&aposs.

　　(A) The modernization program for the steel mill will cost approximately 51 million dollars, which it is hoped can be completed in the late 1980&aposs.

　　(B) The modernization program for the steel mill, hopully completed in the late 1980&aposs, will cost approximately 51 million dollars.

　　(C) Modernizing the steel mill, hopully to be completed in the late 1980&aposs, will cost approximately 51 million dollars.

　　(D) The program for modernizing the steel mill, which can, it is hoped, be completed in the late 1980&aposs and cost approximately 51 million dollars.

　　(E) Modernizing the steel mill, a program that can, it is hoped, be completed in the late 1980&aposs, will cost approximately 51 million dollars.

　　這道題目中A選項的it is hoped是個插入語，應(yīng)該前后用兩個逗號隔開。而且A中的which語法上看指代了dollar美圓，而從邏輯來分析其實是應(yīng)該指代program項目的，所以A錯了。B選項和C選項用了hopully這個詞，這不符合商業(yè)英文的用法，一般是錯誤的，應(yīng)該改為it is hoped。D選項犯了個非常嚴重的語法錯誤，它缺少謂語，所以肯定是錯誤選項。最后答案選E，而其實E選項也只是個相對最佳而非絕對最優(yōu)，因為它放了Modernizing the steel mill這個分詞結(jié)構(gòu)做主語，應(yīng)該把它改成the modernization of the steel mill名詞形式來做主語會更好一點，但由于這只是個不簡潔的錯誤，屬于有效性的錯誤，與A，B，C，D的錯誤性質(zhì)比較起來顯得輕微許多，所以答案選E。
