關代後面到底是接 provide? providing?

這題的答案是(D)沒錯,
因為從逗號", established in most American counties , "
整個形容詞子句是在做補述前面主詞的動作,與後面的另一個主要子句的動詞無關,
且主要子句的主詞是Public defender programs(複數),所以動詞要用provide;
意思是整個句子可分成兩個部份:
主要子句:Public defender programs provide free legal services to needy defendants.
形容詞子句:, established in most American counties , 且是省略關代及be動詞的非限定用法, 原本應是which/that are established in most American counties

Jacky is correct!

此句的先行詞=Public defender programs,這是一個專有名詞,而provide free legal services to needy defendants是形容詞子句.

(A)providing 錯的原因是因為 機構所服務的項目並不是現在進行式所以不能用ing

(B)who provide 錯的原因是因為關係代名詞應該用that, who是指人

(C)to provide 錯的原因是因為你要接的是形容詞子句, 要有關係代名詞連接所以不能用to, 正確應該是 that provide free legal services to needy defendants而此處的that 因為是做受詞所以可以省略

(1)Public defender programs , established in most American counties , _______ free legal services to needy defendants.
本句與所謂"關代後面到底是接 provide? providing?"無關
1.本句主詞為Public defender programs 而 established in most
American counties 為過去分詞片語當形容詞修飾主詞Public
defender programs
2.established in most American counties原為which is established in
most American counties,省略which is 的結果
3.故句子應為Public defender programs _______free legal services to
needy defendants.需主動詞故應填入動詞原型(但需為複數型)，
故為provide

(1)Public defender programs , established in most American counties , _______ free legal services to needy defendants.

(A)providing (B)who provide (C)to provide (D)provide


Public defender programs 是主辭

兩個逗點中的established in most American counties是補語，是

which is established in most American counties 省略which is而來。

所以 _______ free legal services to needy defendants中的空格

當然是本句中唯一的動詞，所以答案是（D）

真正的理由我也不會解釋, 我沒有學過文法 @@

基本上這種句子你可以把 "established in most American counties" 拿掉, 直接簡化為 :

1)Public defender programs _______ free legal services to needy defendants.

這樣子是不是就是要選 D. "established in most American counties" 只是被加在句子中的的一個形容詞句而已.

主要子句要有主詞動詞，
要學會判斷片語、子句、主要子句。
請別學了關代就忘了最基本的。

怎麼愈來愈多人答題時都不思考，
老是第一個人答錯後面的就都答錯，
常感到只是把第一位答的換句話說
或是排版弄得花捎些！！
