加拿大商科研究生GMAT考试SC不能忽略的事项

加拿大商科研究所SC考察两个大方向：语义和语法。初备考的学生可能会误以为SC是重点考察语法的一个section，实则不然，SC的核心在于语义，一方面语法正确与否需要结合句意判断，另一方面有些题目基本没有语法错误，主要考察同学们对句意合理度的逻辑判断。

今天要与同学们讨论的则是其中SC难题300中考到的典型逻辑考察方向的题目。

例题

Remembered almost as an epic among America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims is the digging of Chicago’s subway tunnels in the early 1900s, one of the proudest of family legends.商科GMAT

很多同学拿到这道题目感觉无从下手，觉得每个选项意思差不多，也没有找到什么明显的语法问题，因而选到一个错误选项。

要做对这道题，我们需要详细分析这道题目原句到底想要表达什么意思，然后看一下哪个结构是从逻辑上，从语义表达清晰度上最好的选项。

题目解析

题目语义

20世纪初芝加哥地铁隧道的挖掘是最值得骄傲的家族传奇之一，它几乎被美国12000名波斯尼亚穆斯林奉为史诗。

解题思路

首先我们想一下事件传播的逻辑，一件事情发生，然后从小范围扩散到大范围，那么这里digging其实就是讨论的发生的事件，事件传播是从family的legend到America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims的epic，还是反过来呢，答案当然是前者，所以ABD选项是首先要排除的，它们的结构都是从digging-epic，中间缺了一环legend。

剩下CE选项就比较好排除了，V-ed或V-ing置于句首，考虑逻辑主语，C选项digging结构上的逻辑主语是America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims，但是语义不合理，故答案为E选项。
