此句取自p. 106 of 11.2021 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
Rather than a gaggle of tourists, out 【□】 Tom Hart, a penguin biologist from Oxford University, and several other scientists returning to the Antarctic Peninsula.
請問空格內填入下列何者為最佳?
(1)climbing
(2)climb
(3)climbs
(4)以上皆可
解答說明:
這句話採用倒裝,主詞是Tom Hart and several other scientists,所以是複數,動詞用原形,選(2)。
原句:Tom Hart and several other scientists climb out.
採倒裝是為了以同位語(a penguin biologist from Oxford University)說明Tom Hart是什麼人,同時避免句子頭重腳輕(修辭學的範疇)。
