A.

B changes the meaning
C One...that...because
D One reason WHY
E undoubtedly because, for one reason

i'm confused with the lack of conjunction "why" behind "one reason" . I exactly know that the choices A&B&C&E are false. who can give some instruction? or the editor of the file missed the word, just for a slip of pen? Many thanks.

难道大家对这道题没有疑问吗？？？

作者: kathy72 时间: 2003-10-24 10:59
如果让我选, 我倾向于选D
one reason why
one reason ... is because
似乎有意思重复之嫌.

作者: lilyhuang 时间: 2003-10-24 12:49
but in choice D, the sentence is " the reason more young people lose...is that ...", the word "why" can be omitted ??? Thanks again.

作者: colorsofthewind 时间: 2003-10-24 13:06
I feel D is correct.

BUt I have one question:
what should be followed by the reason...

The reason why
Or
The reason that?

作者: Marrow 时间: 2003-10-24 14:41
one reason that...做同位语
one reason why...做定语
看后面的意思是定语，选d。reason is because???hoho,恕俺拙，真不知道有这么用的。但是题干缺why，hoho,估计又是特殊用法，是伐，小mie？

作者: keledong 时间: 2003-10-25 23:28
我选D. 我从来没有有见过 is because 的用法吗．

作者: hedgeforfun 时间: 2003-10-25 23:36
我选d
a又是why ,又是because的,太wordy 啦

以下是引用albertjerry在2003-10-21 1:05:00的发言：
A,C,E 肯定错, 我选 B ,因为我觉得D 不对, one reason 后面不要加 that 吗 ,one reason 在后面可是不做任何成分啊就像 a time 后加 when 一样,需要加 when 的啊 ,如果加why 就对了,但是不加也对吗 ?

reason后面可以直接跟句子，看下面的例子：
The reason I called was to ask about the plans for Saturday.

作者: mjiehu 时间: 2003-10-26 01:28
D

作者: allaneli 时间: 2003-11-7 14:47
答案是：d

朗文字典 reason 条 "the reason...was because... is bad english. it is better to say the reason...was that..." and gives an example" the reason he was driving so fast was that he was late for an important meeting." after "the reason" there is without "why"

看一下OG-177在巩固一下吧
177. So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that many business executives fear this country will lose its economic preeminence.
(A) So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that
(B) As poorly educated and trained as many young recruits to the United States work force are,
(C) Because of many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained,
(D) That many young recruits to the United States work force are so poorly educated and trained is why
(E) Many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained explains why
A, the best choice, uses the idiomatic form So X that Y to establish a cause/effect relationship between clauses X and Y. In B, the subject of the as... as clause (young recruits) should be the subject of the main clause as well (e.g., they). Furthermore, main clauses following concessive clauses must express a contrasting notion: for example, “As ill-prepared as they are, they nevertheless find good jobs.” C offers a wordy, convoluted because clause. In D, the sentence form X is why is unidiomatic (X is the reason why would be idiomatic but needlessly wordy and awkward). E exhibits subject-verb disagreement: young recruits... explains why.

Choice D is the best. From 金山词霸2005:

reason
[5ri:z(E)n]
n.
原因；理由；动机
The reason she was ill was that she had eaten bad meat.
她生病的原因是她吃了变质的肉。
The reason for this is that this plane is also a bicycle.
"其原因是,这架飞机又是一辆自行车。"
理性；理智；道理；判断力
There's a great deal of reason in his advice.
他的忠告极有道理。
"There are reasons for this great interest in the ideas, feelings, and actions of youth."
"对年青人的思想、感情和行动发生这样巨大的兴趣,自有它的道理。"

It's great~~

c怎么错的?是由于后面缺少that么?

作者: 卡卡元 时间: 2007-1-5 22:41

(D) One reason more young people lose their virginity during the summer than at other times of the year is undoubtedly that

一个强调时间一个强调人数 c改变了作者原意

作者: jianlysmile 时间: 2007-6-19 20:50

C中的is后面是不是一定要补出THAT来呢？就是reason is 。。。。。that？

请教！谢谢。

B把原来主句的部分变成if条件句了，改变句子重心，这样的选项好像大部分情况下都是不对的

作者: susanoffice 时间: 2008-7-17 15:13
这里有一个比较从句的省略问题，D 省略了重复成分，还原后形式概念对等。

作者: susanoffice 时间: 2008-7-17 15:16
比较从句的主语和谓语与主句的主语和谓语相同时，可以全部省去，常常保留做状语的介词或状语从句

作者: isi 时间: 2009-6-22 11:51

除了c将原句重心变掉外，

than后面也似乎缺少at一词，造成比较成分不对等。

作者: lijiahui0422 时间: 2009-7-2 23:24
一个问题一直没搞明白
gmat中的定语从句的先行词that能不能省略？

作者: xmlvivian 时间: 2011-4-3 21:12
是应该选D，因为B的比较对象错误，不是 than other seasons，C也是。E是because跟reason重复，A貌似也是重复吧，reason 跟why... 不知道对否。呵呵
