标题: 求指教OG16-124
124. While many of the dinosaur fossils found recently in northeast China seem to provide evidence of the kinship between dinosaurs and birds, the wealth of enigmatic fossils seem more likely at this stage that they will inflame debates over the origin of birds rather than settle them.
(A) seem more likely at this stage that they will Inflame debates over the origin of birds rather than
(B) seem more likely that it will inflame debates over the origin of birds at this stage than
(C) seems more likely to inflame debates on the origin of bids at this stage rather than
(D) seems more likely at this stage to inflame debates over the origin of birds than to
(E) seems more likely that it will inflame debates on the origin of birds at this stage than to
答案是D，我选了C，OG解释说C项 the placement of the modifier at this stage makes the modifier appear to describe origin of the birds rather than the verb seems，然而我没看出来区别= =求大牛指教！

我觉得这题更明显的点在more than的固定搭配及其平行
A. more...RATHER than, the wealth of fossils...THEY, more likely THAT...rather than SETTLE
B. more likely THAT...than SETTLE
C. more...RATHER than, more likely TO...rather than SETTLE
E. more likely THAT...than TO
关于修饰，介词短语倾向于修饰距离较近的对象，个人认为甚至可以修饰likely。。。
当然修饰origin of birds不符合逻辑，因为鸟类的起源没有stage之分。
同求NN解释

应该是inflame over。介宾短语作状语，修饰inflame，激怒的意思。
但是我也很不理解at this stage 的位置，为什么放在likely后面
作者: yangdi05 时间: 2015-9-9 11:15
顶下，求NN
作者: yangdi05 时间: 2015-9-9 11:16
这确实更明显！当时做的时候短路了没看出来。。。
作者: canlan 时间: 2015-9-25 22:16
就是因为没发现more likely than这个点，所以错选了c。。。虽然选c的时候也犹豫了on the stage的修饰问题。
我觉得on the stage这个，本着修饰的就近原则，在C中是修饰the origin of birds，翻译过来就是“现在鸟的起源”，鸟的起源不是现在的问题。句子实际要表达的意思是“大量的化石现在看起来是更多引起对鸟的起源的争议，而没有解决这个问题”，当然这个翻译也不是很好，原句是要表达程度上的区别。on the stage是修饰seems，是“现在看起来怎样怎样”
作者: jessicamss 时间: 2015-10-1 16:09
我也错选了C项。 我的问题是C 选项的 more likely to do something than do smething 这个结构正确与否？
谢谢啦！

rather than 接不定式，后面的to是可以省略的，原因见下题OG11：
Judge Bonham denied a motion to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of to confine them to a hotel.
Ato allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of to confine them to
Bthat would have allowed members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of confined to
Cunder which members of the jury are allowed to go home at the end of each day instead of confining them in
Dthat would allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than confinement in
Eto allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than be confined to
答案选E。
作者: morimori 时间: 2015-10-10 10:30
翻译成中文C选项就是在现阶段似乎更可能引起讨论，at this stage修饰seems。D选项是更容易对现阶段的鸟的起源的讨论，at this stage修饰的是the origins of birds。而鸟的起源并不可能是现阶段的。
区别比较细微，需要体会

Judge Bonham denied a motion to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of to confine them to a hotel.
A to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of to confine them to
B that would have allowed members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of confined to
C under which members of the jury are allowed to go home at the end of each day instead of confining them in
D that would allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than confinement in
E to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than be confined to
把E补全，想看看到底谁跟谁平行, 我认为是这样：
E： Judge Bonham denied a motion to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than a motion to allow members of the jury to be confined to a hotel
所以A补全之后，就不对了
Judge Bonham denied a motion to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of a motion to allow members of the jury to confine them to a hotel. 变成了 jury confine 他们自己在hotel
所以并不是A不平行，或者instead of 后不能接to do，还是句意。望指正！

很同意这个解释，看到gmat Club上有一个对于instead of 和 rather than 在这里用法的对比，quote在这里
“I would not go so far as to say the GMAT likes the "rather than" construction and doesn't like the "instead of" construction --- that's too black & white and simplistic. I would say, though, you will see much more of the former than of the latter. You see, both "rather than" and "instead of" have similar meanings ---- the replacement of one thing with another ---- but the former is far more versatile than the latter. The construction "instead of" is a preposition, only a preposition, and can only have a noun (or noun-like thing) as its object. By contrast, the construction "rather than" can act as a preposition or a conjunction --- it can link two nouns or two verbs or participial phrases or infinitive phrases, i.e. two complete actions. Now look at version (E) of the above sentence.
(E) The majority leader denied a motion to allow members of the house to go home at the end of each vote rather than be confined to the floor.”

额，法官的那个题C哪里错了啊
作者: chrislty 时间: 2016-11-26 23:45
看了一圈，我觉得此题重点不在于rather than和instead of.
Ron说过“rather than和instead of are almost interchangeable".
A和E本身没有语法问题，平行的不一样。A是a motion to allow和a motion (被省略） to confine
E是to go和to be confined平行
所以A错在a motion本身并不能confine them to a hotel，motion只能要求或者允许
不要被rather than和instead of迷惑了

(C) seems more likely to inflame debates on the origin of bids at this stage rather than
(D) seems more likely at this stage to inflame debates over the origin of birds than to
C选项seems more likely to do ... rather than do ...，
- 首先 more 后面 对应 than，而非 rather than，
- 其次 两个动词形式要平行，seems to do sth，than 后面也应该用 to do，
- 最后，modifier的用法也不正确，这是从句意可以看出来的：前文说，最近（recently）中国发现的恐龙化石会提供恐龙与鸟的亲缘关系的证据，介词短语 at this stage应该是修饰debate（近期的发现导致目前激烈的争论），而非修饰鸟类的起源。
这三点不需要全部掌握，也可以轻松的做出这道题~

C的错误除了介词位置易产生歧义，以及OG所说的要补出平行后半部分的to（我个人觉得这里不是重点，可以补出也可以不补出，毕竟楼下也给出了反例）之外
seems more likelyto do rather than也是非常明显的错误。比较级后面应该是than而不是rather than
作者: 御寒 时间: 2017-1-23 10:38
C选项中，instead of 前面“are allowed to”被动语态，instead of 后面"confining them"主动语态产生矛盾，instead of 前后不平行，under which 也不如to allow 简洁
我有一个问题想请教大家，judge这题中， A选项中to confine them to存在与to allow members并列的错误，E选项的（to）be confined to 为什么就不会产生错误与to allow members并列的歧义呢？
作者: emmahiggins09 时间: 2017-1-24 08:38
a motion to allow members to go home 这句话很make sense
a motion to be confied to 这句话是 nonsense 所以这里可以断定 be confied to 不是和 to allow memeber 平行而是和后面to go home 部分平行

明白了，感谢！

有人讲一下the wealth of为什么对应seems吗？如果把wealth当‘价值’讲，确实需要用seems，但是感觉语义上说不通。我的翻译是“神秘化石的价值更容易激起关于鸟类起源的争论”。
如果把wealth当‘大量’讲，只在朗文词典上找到了‘a wealth of sth’的用法且含义上等同于‘a lot of’. 如果是a lot of fossils的话，就应该用seem了。。。且语义上更加讲得通
作者: 猪小王 时间: 2017-2-8 11:11
层主没有搞清楚"the wealth of ..." 和 “a wealth of ..."的区别。
想一下"the number of ..." vs. "a number of ..."的区别。
作者: jianghxsir 时间: 2017-2-9 05:33
所以您认为此处是‘价值’的意思咯？
但是语义逻辑就上我理解不过来，还望赐教！
作者: 猪小王 时间: 2017-2-9 06:34
注意article（冠词）the vs. a
a wealth of 基本上是many/much/a large amount of ...的意思，许多
e.g., The bank's credit card data offer us a wealth of information.
e.g., She collected a wealth of materials for the final test.
类似a number of, a lot of, a large amount of X
the wealth of 是"the" （具体的那个）value of X, 价值，财富的意思
e.g., Adam Smith is the author of "The Wealth of Nations" (国富论是the wealth of nations，而不是a wealth of nations)
e.g., Many start-ups want to dig the wealth of internets.
类似the number of population指的是数量，而不是很多人。a number of people是指很多人。

有两个疑问
（1）be more likely to do能不能搭配rather than
（2）be more likely to do than to do可不可以省略后面的to do，变成be more likely to do than do

同问，more likely to inflame debates （on the origin of birds at this stage） rather than （to) settle them.“更可能是点燃战火，而不是解决问题”
我觉得这里rather than表示“而不是”，翻译起来很通顺……
作者: buliddream 时间: 2018-8-5 10:00
more... rather than .... X
more ... than √
be more likely to do ... than to do ...也是OK 的

C) seems more likely to inflame debates on the origin of birds at this stage rather than
"The wealth... seems" fixes the subject/verb issue, but the modifier "at this stage" seems to indicate that the birds are at a particular stage - illogical. We want to say that it "seems likely at this stage."
作者: VictorMe 时间: 2018-11-24 17:03
C选项的 at this stage 需要就近修饰，自然便修饰了 origin，句意便变成了 激化了关于在此阶段鸟类起源的争论，而非原意：在此阶段激化了关于鸟类起源的争论；改变了句意
