彼らには、2つの主要な神―太陽神と死者の神―がいましたが、その神々のお祭りが、先週開催されました。 ☆ two major god = a sun god and a god of the dead の同格になっていますから、whose festival の whose の先行詞は、two major gods だと思います。

    番号で分けているのでお願いします。 (1) The ancient Egyptians had a god for everything. That palm tree set back from the Nile sprouting on the rise behind your cousin's house? It had a god. The make-up your father applied from his palette in the morning? It had a god, too. More than 2,000 names of gods have been found written in limestone, on papyrus, and scratched on mud-brick walls. Some gods were powerful and worshipped by many, and some were wispy spirits known to just a few. There were gods whose spirits lived inside real things, such as the Nile, the sun , the sky, and the earth. And there were gods for protection against dangers, such as the bites of crocodiles, scorpions, and snakes. There were gods who stood for learning―the art of music and medicine; and there were gods who stood for the learned―the scribes and the architects. You name it, the Egyptians had a god for it. (2) There were good gods and bad gods, and fierce gods to protect you from the bad gods. There were gods for the living and gods for the dead. Some gods were human, some were animal, and some were a little of both. The bulls of one breed were so sacred that they lived like kings, and when they died the Egyptians mummified them, just like they would a pharaoh. They covered the bulls in jewels and placed them in coffins carved out of solid blocks of granite each weighing 80 tons. These sacred bulls even had their own cemeteries. At a burial site at Saqqara archaeologists have found 24 bulls, each in an elaborately carved coffin. (3) The most important god in Egypt was the sun god. The Egyptians pictured the sun god pushing the sun across the sky just as the scarab beetles pushed tiny dirt balls across the ground. Every morning the Egyptians were grateful when the sun was born again like the tiny scarab eggs hatching in the dirt ball. And every evening when the sun set, they worried that an evil snake would swallow the sun as it passed through the Underworld.

    none of them と none of whichの使い分けというか、違いが分からず困っています… ネット上で調べるとたとえば以下のようなやり取りがあるのですが、結局、理解できていません… お願いしますm(_ _)m The two possible forms are: 1. The Consumer Council has tested 300 types of hair-dryers, none of which passed the safety tests. When, in a sentence, you add further information to what you have just written, we can use a non-defining clause beginning with a preposition, So:"..300 types of hair-dryers, none of which passed the safety tests. or "300 types of hair-dryers, of which none passed the safety tests. "The young remain in the pouch for 7 weeks, by which time they have grown..." In your sentence, 'which' is a relative pronoun referring directly back to "300 types of hair-dryers" 2. The Consumer Council has tested 300 types of hair-dryers, and none of them passed the safety tests. Here, the 'additional information' is given in a linking clause beginning with 'and'. We could have written: "The Consumer Council has tested 300 types of hair-dryers, and none/not one passed the safety tests." To use 'none of them' without the linking conjuction 'and', we would have to write: The Consumer Council has tested 300 types of hair-dryers, none of them passing the safety tests. Check that in typing your full sentence above, you did not omit the 'and'. Otherwise, I also cannot understand why the 'preferred' answer is 'none of them'.

  • 関係代名詞の所有格と関係副詞の見分け方について

    英語の文法問題を勉強をしている時、 いつも関係代名詞と関係副詞でつまづきます。 関係代名詞の所有格と関係副詞の見分け方が分かりません。 従属節が完全な文だと関係副詞、不完全だと関係代名詞と判断すると思っています。 ところが以下の文の解説で混乱してしまいました。 1、I have an uncle whose son lives in Paris. 2、They live in a house whose roof is red. 解説は、sonとroofがはっきりしない(the ,a をson,roofの前につけないと漠然としている)ので、不完全な文。 よってwhoseとすべきとありました。  →理解できました。 3、I found a place where cherry blossoms were beautiful. 解説は、cherry blossoms were beautiful.は完全な文なのでwhereです、 とありました。 3でもcherry blossoms は漠然としているように思うので、 whoseを使ってもいいのでは?と思いました。 仮にblossoms と複数系としている事で漠然としていないのだとしたら、 I found a place whose cherry blossom were beautiful. だったらいいのでしょうか? あまりtoeicでは出ないところかと思いますが、 いつも引っかかって苦しんでおります。 どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

    お願いします。 (9) The Pyramid Texts, the Coffin Texts, and the Book of the Dead all had the same purpose―turn the quiz into an open-book exam and guarantee that the spirits passed. Once safely though the labyrinth of portals, the spirits entered the hall of judgment. Before 42 gods, the spirits declared their innocence to everything the Egyptians could think of. The cheat sheet helped them remember all the sins they didn't commit. The spirits addressed the gods one by one. Some of the gods had creepy names: Bone Breaker and Blood Eater, for example. Some gods had rather unusual names: Fiery Eyes, Hot Foot, and Pale One. Others had names that would make good video game demons: Demolisher, Lord of Truth, and the Accuser. Still others sounded a bit goofy, as if they were one of the Seven Dwarfs―Nosey, for example. The spirits had to remember which sin they denied to which god (with the help of their cheat sheet). Apparently being noisy was considered sinful. One of the denial was "O Water-smiter who came forth from the Abyss, I have not been loud voiced."

    Indeed, just last September, the remains of two Japanese climbers that had been missing since 1970 were found on the Matterhorn in a similar glacier. At the time, the police made a similar statement, explaining that they’ve found several climbers bodies over the last couple decades already. 文が過去形で進んでいるので、they’ve foundはthey had foundとならないのでしょうか?よろしくお願いします

    Higan and Bon Buddhism refers to the present life as"this shore and to the life of enlightenment as the“ other shore”. Higan is a seven-day Budd hist memorial service for the dead held twice a year, centering on two periods, the vernal equinox(around March 21) and the autumnal equinox(around September 23) On these two days, the sun crosses the equator, and the lengths of day and night become equal. These two days are national holidays. During Higan the Japanese have long had the custom of honoring their ancestors whom they believe to be in the “other world" of the west where the sun sets. People visit their family graves, clean them, and show reverence for the dead by offering flowers and incense. A kind of rice dumpling called ohagi, flavored with sweet bean paste or soybean flour, is also placed before the graves.
