" Where" is used at the begining of a sentence in which the second part expresses the opposite, or something different from the first part. For example: Where most people saw nothing but a hardened criminal, Audrey saw a lonely and desperate man.作者: zjxmlily 时间: 2003-8-25 17:17
那也就是说这道题本身用where 和 while 都是可以的，主要是support 的区别，是吗？作者: 7986 时间: 2003-8-26 10:34
while, where 最大的区别在于语气，前者更强调对比差异。GMAT语法考试更改作者语气是很忌讳的。出现用词的不同，双重否定，倒装，特殊用法时，选项应保持语气不变。另外如你所言，by supporting 很好
