文有點長....下面是我上課時寫到的題目
15. A careful analysis of the___b____ products on the market indicated that
our product lacked innovation and optional features.
(A) compete (B) competed
(C) competing (D) competition
我原本選C，但老師說答案是B
以下是老師的解釋:
The word "competing and competed" are verbal adjectives derived from the verb
"compete."
Therefore:
Competed products
When “competed” is used as an adjective, it means "who/that is/are competed
over or hard to get."
The competed products = the products that are hard to get because everybody
wants to have it and compete for it.
Competing products
When competing is used as an adjective, it means "who/that is/are competing."
The competing products = the products that are competing with each other to
increase sales
我有問為什麼不能選C，(我真的覺得C感覺很合邏輯啊)老師說因為後面有講道自身產品的缺點，所以B會比C好。
但其實我自己有用google查了一下，查不到be competed over，想問大家，真的有這種用法嗎?C真的不可以嗎?
