四選一
During testing, the label printer proved to be ____.
看答案
defective
proved to be 後用形容詞 defective 描述印表機的狀態。defect 是單數可數名詞,此處缺少冠詞;defects 是複數名詞,不能合理地表示這台印表機本身是多個缺陷;defectively 是副詞,不能在此單獨作主詞補語。
同義改寫
The scanner stopped working because of a defective cable. → The scanner stopped working because of a faulty cable.
此處 defective 與 faulty 都表示連接線有故障,並保留它造成掃描器停止運作的因果關係。
The tray's defective design caused frequent paper jams during testing. → A flaw in the tray's design caused frequent paper jams during testing.
defective design 表示設計存在缺陷;改成 a flaw in the design 保留缺陷造成卡紙的意思。
