赞成E。significant不是致命因素，因为它修饰的是variable即原文的facts而不是risk，与原文相符合。

同意！small risk 是指忽略significant variables的风险小

支持C。ETS不可能在E上犯这么明显的错误：原文明明说的是such risk (overlook fact relevant to a study)would be small in most studies, 在选项上就会变成 The research cannot be freed of the risk that significant variables may be overlooked ?? significant这个词，既在原文中无对应，又非常重，我不信ETS放这么个词在这里是粗心。

C为什么对，26楼的同学解释得很好，支持！！！

我本来选的是B。B的错误是需要infer才能得出的答案，而according to的题都是supporting ideas，应该在原文中找答案，所以正确答案只能是C或者E。
E的问题是将facts replaced with significant variables，没有根据。
而C的问题是将likely换成了routinely，前者是表示可能，而后者则表示常规性地。虽然不是特别妥当，但相对而言，是最佳答案。

我也是b,e当中抉择了半天，选了B>_<

始终觉得e当中的significant有问题。 但是c当中，把likely to换成routinely显然是错的，rountinely有always的含义，但是likely to只是表示有可能，这两者概念完全不同。 我觉得要找答案应该找和原文概念以及程度都匹配选项才对。这里B，C显然程度都不匹配，相当于出现了新概念，怎么能说是according to原文呢？

虽然我也觉得B很别扭，可是就是找不到一个强烈的理由说服我选E。

有没有NN来解释一下阿，困惑中

说的太精辟了.大家静心考虑一下,KATHY说的一阵见血!! E correct

I chose C when I was doing GWD. But when I compared the passage with the choices again, I preferred E.

"Only in research on entirely new treatments are new and unexpected variables likely to arise. " - C. It routinely reveals new variables in research on entirely new treatments.

 

C changes something likely happen to routinely happen, an unacceptable change.

 

"Although limiting information collection could increase the risk that researchers will overlook facts relevant to a study, Frazier and Mosteller contend that such risk, never entirely eliminable from research, would still be small in most studies. " - E. It cannot be freed of the risk that significant variables may be overlooked.

 

E adds "significant" to the "facts relevant to a study", then plays a trick by saying "may" to make this choice consistent with the sentence in the passage. Risk of overlooking "facts relevant to a study" cannot be eliminated from research and the "facts" "may" include the "significant variables".  How tricky the ETS is! LET'S BEAT IT DOWN!!!

the article really points out that "such risk is never entirely eliminable from research", so put it in other words,it is just as E.
