Mệnh đề quan hệ

ChọnB

*Mệnh đề rút gọn với PII.

-Dùng khi đại từ quan hệ đóng vai trò là S và V trong mệnh đề quan hệ ở thể bị động.

-Ta lược bỏ đại từ quan hệ "be", sau đó chuyển V chính về dạng PII

*Dịch câu trên: -Tôi đang sống trong 1 ngôi nhà ......... 20 năm trước và 4 đáp án đưa ra có V chính là "build" cần được chia.

-Như chúng ta đã biết thì 1 cái nhà bình thường như bao cái nhà khác thì phải được con người xây nên và không thể tự xây chính nó được, có thêm dấu hiệu "20 years ago"

->Dùng bị động quá khứ đơn.

-Nhưng đã có mệnh đề đằng trước có 1 S và 1 V rồi mà 1 mệnh đề không thể có 2 S và 2 V ->Dùng mệnh đề quan hệ

-Từ các ý trên ta thấy được nên dùng cấu trúc mệnh đề quan hệ sử dụng PII

->Chia V là "built"

⇒Chọn D

Living in a big city today is very different from living in a small town long ago. Today if you want to go to the city center, it takes you a long time by bus or by car. If you ride a motorbike, you breathe all the exhaust fumes and feel sick. However, if you become ill, there are hospitals close by. Also if you like music and dancing, the discos and pubs offer a wide variety.

Long ago life was different. If people traveled, they used horses and carts. If they went a long distance, the journey took days, not hours. If they were ill, they didn’t go to the hospital, there were none. If there is a wedding or holiday, they sang and danced.
