选择题
Man’s shopping can be and often is completed in five minutes,which is less than a quarter
________.
A.that of a woman
B.of that of a woman
C.of a woman’s
D.that of a woman’s
答案
答案:D
本题考查代词。比较关键是同类之间的比较,而不能把属性完全不同的两者进行比较。此题的which指代的是five minutes,所以a quarter(此处意思是“四分之一”)后面的代词that指代的是time“(购物)时间”,而不是shopping.因为我们不能拿five minutes和a woman’s shopping进行比较。前者指“购物时间”,后者指“女性购物”这种行为。that of a woman’s =" the" time of a woman’s shopping。
