Question 9 Chọn đáp án B
Điều kiện để rút gọn mệnh đề trạng ngữ: Chủ ngữ 2 vế giống nhau
Cách rút gọn: - Dùng V-ing nếu mệnh đề trạng ngữ ở dạng chủ động; Dùng Vpp nếu mệnh đề trạng ngữ ở
dạng bị động
- Bỏ liên từ và động từ “to be” nếu có.


Câu ban đầu chưa rút gọn: When oil was discovered in the Middle East, oil/ it became known as black
gold because of the large profit it brought, (mệnh đề trạng ngữ ở dạng bị động) => Discovered in the
Middle East, oil became known as black gold because of the large profit it brought.

Note 12
Reduced adverb clause (Rút gọn mệnh đề trang ngữ)
Mệnh đề trạng ngữ là mệnh đề nối bằng các liên từ như when, because, while ...
Điều kiện rút gọn: Hai chủ ngữ phải giống nhau
Cách làm:
- Bỏ liên từ (hoặc để lại thì biến thành giới từ)
- Chủ động thì đổi động từ thành Ving
- Bị động thì dùng Vpp (nhưng nếu giữ lại liên từ, hoặc có NOT thì phải để lại "to be" và thêm ing vào to
be: (being + Vpp) - ngoại trừ các liên từ when, if, though thì lại có thể bỏ luôn to be.

Đối với liên từ when, as (khi) mà động từ chính trong mệnh đề đó là to be + N và mang nghĩa “là” thì có
thể bỏ luôn to be mà giữ lại danh từ thôi.
Eg:
Chủ động: When I see him, I will give him this gift.
 When seeing him, I will give him this gift. / Seeing him, I will give him this gift.
Bị động: Because I was given a present, I was happy.
=> Because of being given a present, I was happy, (giới từ của because là because of, bắt buôc để lại to
be)
When he was attacked by a tiger, he ran away.
+ Mức độ 1: bỏ chủ từ
=> When being attacked by a tiger, he.... (theo nguyên tắc để lại liên từ phải để lại to be)
+Mức độ 2: bỏ to be
=> When attacked by a tiger, he.... (nhưng với when thì có thể bỏ luôn to be)
+Mức độ 3: bỏ liên từ
=> Attacked by a tiger, he
E.g: Because he wasn’t rewarded with a smile, he ....
=> Not being rewarded with a smile, he .... (có NOT nên bắt buộc để lại to be)
As he was a child, he lived in the countryside.
=> As a child, he lived in the country. (bỏ luôn to be)
