GWD29-29

Most of Portugal’s 250,000 university students boycotted classes in a one-day strike to protest a law that requires them to contribute $330 a
        year toward the cost of higher education, previously paying $7 per year.

1. year toward the cost of higher education, previously paying $7 per year
2. year toward the cost of higher education, for which was previously paid $7 per year
3. year, compared to the previously $7 per year, toward the cost of higher education
4. year toward the cost of higher education, instead of the $7 per year required previously
5. year as opposed to the $7 per year required previously for the cost of higher education

Answer is D

My answer is C, free for discussion.

in c, previously &7 per year is wrong, should be previous

值得进一步探讨。

agree with icon

d

大家比较一下，那个句子更简洁，更容易让读者理解？后面一句翻译成汉语都不通顺。

看了icon得發言﹐覺得previously是不對。previous也不好。previous(ly)可能根本就不該在$7的前面。這樣D到是顯得好一些了。我以前是覺得 compare to緊跟$330 per year要好一些。可能理解有偏差。

不過加了個previously不會是ETS犯的錯誤巴﹖那可把大家都坑了。

下定決心﹐要是考這題就選D了。
