麻烦分析一下各个选项,

Answer 1

第一题是选A吧,你首先可以看到这2 个句子是转折的关系,还有1点需要注意,AAA,but DDD这个句子里只需要一个 连词,而SINCE 和but都是连词所以必然要去掉一个.
第二题,分析整个句子的意思,可以看出viarious ordeals是那些战士的test the endurance的方法,其实答案就锁定了,选A的话,要加AND在devised的前面 c的话,AND就是一个连词,而分号的作用也是相当于一个连词,所以不能一起用.b的意思错了,如果是这样的话,那就是考验那些士兵DEVISE...的能力.e 不如D简洁 ,而且device才是DEVISE的名词形式,用devising就不如名词好,应为在SAT中动名词是不如名词好的.
