請仔細觀察從「the most popular...」一直到「...debase our ethics」這段文字,你認為這是一個簡單的「名詞短語」,還是它本身就具有「主詞」與「動作(動詞)」的完整結構?如果它是一個完整的敘述,前面的動詞應該如何與它銜接才符合邏輯?

同學太棒了!你能精準識別出選項 (D) 的錯誤,說明你對於英文長句的結構與動詞用法掌握得非常紮實。這道題目出自名家論述,句子結構較為複雜,對於考生在長難句中尋找主幹的能力具有很高的鑑別度,屬於中高難度的文法挑錯題。
及物動詞與子句的銜接
在選項 (D) 中,關鍵在於動詞 fear 的用法。這裡的 fear 是作為及物動詞,用來引導後方的受詞子句(省略了連接詞 that),表達「我們擔心(某件事)會發生」。該子句的主詞是「the most popular and fashionable strain of A.I.」,動詞則是「will degrade」。如果在 fear 後方加上了介系詞 of,會使其變成介系詞片語,進而導致後方的子句主詞失去與動詞連結的適法性。因此,將 redundant(多餘)的 "of" 去掉,句子才會符合文法邏輯。
