代词所指代的名词

  GMAT考试的代词,必须明确是指只有一个指代的词。如果句子中有两个或两个以上的名词则应重新考虑代词的适用性。

  ◆ Researchers claim to have developed new “nano-papers” incorporating tiny cellulose fibers, which THEY allege give THEM the strength of cast iron.

 

  上例中they 和them 指代什么?t我们可以假设hey指代researchers 而them指代new “nano-papers.”,但是事实上they 和them的指代都不是很明确,任何一个都可以指代researchers 或者 “nanopapers.”所以这句我们可以这样改写:

  ◆ Right: Researchers claim to have developed new “nano-papers” incorporating tiny cellulose fibers, which allegedly give THESE MATERIALS the strength of cast iron.
