SAT几道语法题
1、Jerome often referred to art history textbooks while he was sculpting ; whenever he learned a new method in art class,he （seeks out） the work of sculptors who had used it in the past.括号里怎么错了?
2、As he eagerly awaited the interview for the job,Miguel thought it wise (suppressing) his nervousness and to display a calm he did not feel.括号里错了,这题很纠结.我想的是wise 和 suppressing都是形容词所以错了,可答案说的是改成to suppress 为什么?
3.According to educational statistics,the average age of college students (B) has risen (C) quite noticeable (D) over the past 28 years.这题我觉得是对的,quite是副词,然后noticeable是形容词,是对的啊 为什么C错了?
