題目：126. ________ our office,Mr.James voted against the proposal.
(A) Representation
(B) Representative
(C) Representing
(D) Representative of
疑問：答案是(C),但是看不懂為何選擇(C),題本的答案解說如下:
(C) "Representing",which is a reduced modifying phase,is the correct participle.
Choice (A) is a noun.
Choice (B) is a noun referring to a person.
Choice (D) is a noun plus preposition and would be correct if it had a "the" before "representative"
and commas around Mr.James to make it nonrestrictive.
因為文法跟理解能力太差，幾個問題想請教
1 請問何謂reduced modifying phase?用過關鍵字搜尋雖然有找到ELISA ENGLISH有提到但似乎不太相同?
2 (B) representative 是名詞,用在人的時候
3 (D) 的翻譯是說只要前面加冠詞The就會是正確的答案?
謝謝
