我的想法是B这里错不是因为定语从句缺主语,而是没有表达出比较的含义.

B选项没有correctiveness错误，但effectiveness错误，个人觉得还不少。
1，用被动，使得动作的发出者不明。
2，句式上的不对称没有明显的表现出前后的对比。
3，which优先指代cost，但实际上which指代higher education会更简洁明确一些。当然这一点不能作为排除选项的理由。

我不明白
为什么要选B？
for怎么解释呢？
for which中的for和从句中那个介词短语相关呢？

which修饰了higher education
还原一下
higher education was paid for $7 per year
错了，意思也说不通

higher education was paid for $7 per year
错了，意思也说不通
- year toward the cost of higher education, for which was previously paid $7 per year
为什么which不指代核心词the cost,这样还原一下: the cost was paid for $7 per year,就通了
作者: gonghao 时间: 2006-6-6 15:06
问题就在于没有足够的理由说which不是就近指代
没有主谓，时态，
所以which在B里只能就近指代

在GWD中也碰到过compared to表示比较的意思，好像compare A to B通常是比作，A compared to B表示比较
请NN指教

在GMAT中，compare to 表示比喻，即不同种类，compare with 才是比较的意思
另，再问，此题选D而不是B，是不是依然体现了 独立结构优于定从结构呢？ 谢谢！！

同意选C，compare A to B 才是比喻的意思，单独使用compare to可以作为比较的意思，这样一来C表达的最清楚，比较的东西在一起

看OG11的101题的解释：（在OG里用关键词搜compare，可以找到很多）
101．Unlike the United States，where farmers can usually depend on rain or snow all year long, the
rains in most parts of Sri Lanka are concentrated in the monsoon months，June to September, and
the skies are generally clear for the rest of the year.
(A) Unlike the United States，where farmers can usually depend 0n rain or snow all year
long，the rains in most parts of Sri Lanka
(B) Unlike the United States farmers who can usually depend on rain or snow all year
long．the rains in most parts of Sri Lanka
(C) Unlike those of the United States，where farmers can usually depend on rain or snow all
year long，most parts of Sri Lanka's rains
(D) In comparison with the United States，whose farmers can usually depend on rain or
snow all year long，the rains in most parts of Sri Lanka
(E) In the United States，farmers can usually depend on rain or snow all year long，but in
most parts of Sri Lanka the rains
Logical predication
The intent of the sentence is to compare seasonal rainfall patterns in the United States and Sri
Lanka．There are many ways to set up such comparisons：unlike x, y；in comparison with x, y：
compared to x, y, and so on．The x and y being compared must be grammatically and logically
parallel．An alternative way of stating the comparison is the use of two independent clauses
connected by but．The original sentence compares the United States to rains in most parts of Sri
Lanka；this illogical comparison cannot convey the writer's intention．
可以清楚看到compare to是比较的意思，而不是比喻。
本题选C
D的instead of也是错误的标志啊，

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.
- year toward the cost of higher education, previously paying $7 per year
- year toward the cost of higher education, for which was previously paid $7 per year
- year, compared to the previously $7 per year, toward the cost of higher education
- year toward the cost of higher education, instead of the $7 per year required previously
- year as opposed to the $7 per year required previously for the cost of higher education
答案是D,为什么B不对. which指代the cost
B, which 引导一个非限制性定语从句，语法上修饰“the higher education”，但是逻辑上应该修饰the cost ，所以不是最佳。另外for 是pay for短语的介词前置。

compared to是比喻的意思,即把A比作B. A和B不同;比较要用compare with,即把A和A'的不同点区分开,A和A'是同类.
有疑问。PREP语法笔记中说，GMAT考试不区分compared to和 compared with

同意，我也记得。而且前面也有人引用过OG的话了，compare to可以表示比较。所以这个不是大问题。education的中心词cost。存在歧义。而且pay foreducation就好了，pay for the cost of education就redundant了。
E错在
previously for the cost of higher education应该是$330 a year 和 $7 per year 公用的，而不只是修饰$7per year的。而且contribute for搭配错误。这里如果for前面年加上逗号，则逻辑上就对了，但是for还是错。

D的instead of也是错误的标志啊，
即便 compare to 和 compare with 可以通用，也不能选 C。见上面绿色标示部分，要求比较对象平行一致，这里我觉得主语 student 和 cost 不平行。
B 定语从句 for which was previously paid $7 per year. 结构不完整。for which 在从句中是状语，was paid 缺少对象。试比较 for which they paid $7
因此 D 正确
作者: gmat928 时间: 2010-3-11 11:55
这是道棘手的题，考点非常分散
我错选了C，看完讨论确定答案为D
A中paying不对，这个大家没有什么争议。
争议从B开始，但B中for which的which后面引出定语从句中缺少主语，如果改为for which $7 was previously paid per year才可以考虑。
下面是几个for which 的例句供参考
Like the thorny ballooning of a frightened pufferfish or the sudden appearance of angry sapphire hoops for which the blue-ringed octopus is named, the California newt's display of its red underbelly is a clear warning that predators ignore at their peril.
As U.S. nuclear attack submarines prowl their familiar haunts deep within the oceans of the world these days, they increasingly are engaged in missins far different from the tasks for which they were built and for which their crews were trained over the last forty years. (E-P65-24)
During the recession of 1973, home mortgage foreclosures resulted in tens of thousands of Americans being evicted from homes for which they could no longer afford monthly payments.
C读上去很顺，但previously $7，副词直接加名词，确实说不过去。
当初排除D是因为“, instead of”这种用法没见过，后来找到了几个例句说明这种用法没有问题。
With Massa’s departure, House Democrats need 216 votes, instead of 217, to pass health care legislation.
Cuomo, who is widely expected to run for governor this year, has called for putting the pension fund under the control of a board of trustees, instead of the comptroller.
''This 'restoration' has been done in a very unprofessional way,'' Schweizer said in an e-mail message sent to the AP. ''Too many stones had been changed, instead of restoring.
E中的contribute for用在这里不合适。
大家对比一下contribute money toward sth. 和contribute money for sth.的区别就知道了。
前者的意思是“contribute money 给（toward） sth.”，而后者的意思是“为了（for） sth. 而contribute money”
题目本意应该用contribute money toward sth.
