GRE考试阅读辅导：长难句实例分析61

　　It can be inferred from the passage that the author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements regarding socioeconomic class and support for the rebel and Loyalist causes during the American Revolutionary War?插入语多

　　从文章中可以推断出来，作者最有可能同意以下哪一个关于在美国革命战争中的社会经济各阶层及其对叛党和保王党的支持的陈述?

　　难句类型：复杂修饰

　　解释：句子是在regarding之后才开始难懂的。Regarding引导一个分词结构，修饰statement。分词中regard的宾语有两个，一个是socioeconomic class，另一个是support for the rebel and Loyallist caused,中间由and相连接，本句的不好懂之处在于，我们对support 的第一反应是把它当成动词，这样就有可能理解成and support for是与前面的agree with并列的谓语，当然这种理解在语法上是成立的，然而在逻辑上不成立。正确的理解是support作名词，与socioeconomic class并列。其实本题干的意思就是在问哪个阶层的人会支持哪一方。

　　意群训练：It can be inferred from the passage that the author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements regarding socioeconomic class and support for the rebel and Loyalist causes during the American Revolutionary War?
