标题: 语法不明白？help
请问Ｂ，Ｃ错在哪里呢？

修饰语离中心意思DIE OF A HEART ATTACK太远，以至于逻辑不严密。B中 than those who are sedentary do,重复了助动词DO指代的to die of a hear attack, 故显句子啰唆。E答案的好处，首先运用了习语：less likely than,而且句子严谨，修饰语没有歧义。

有时候从语法上看，几个答案可能都没问题，但gmat注重表达上的精炼，此题e的表达是最佳的

E 最简洁。

可是A为什么不对呢？我在new york times上找到了类似的一句话

The early studies of the San Francisco longshoremen, the British civil servants and others suggested that coronary patients who are most active have half or less the chance of dying of a second heart attack as those who are sedentary.

那岂不是就跟A差不多么？非常晕，盼牛牛回复！！！

摘自：http://www.english-for-students.com/Use-of-Words.html

1. Use of At least when referring to a number:

The phrase at least 50 percent is preferable to the phrase 50 per cent or more than 50 per cent.

Similarly, the phrases ‘maximum of 50 percent’ and ‘at the most 50 per cent’ are preferred to the phrase ’50 per cent or less than 50 per cent’.

Example-1:

• Several studies have found that the corollary patients who exercise most actively have half or less than half the chance of dying of a heart attack as those who are sedentary.

This sentence is wrong one.

The correct sentence is:

• Several studies have found that the corollary patients who exercise most actively are at least fifty percent less likely than those who are sedentary to die of a heart attack.
