9. Sunspots, vortices of gas associated with strong electromagnetic activity, are visible as dark spots on
the surface of the Sun but have never been sighted on the Sun's poles or equator.
(A) are visible as dark spots on the surface of the Sun but have never been sighted on
(B) are visible as dark spots that never have been sighted on the surface of the Sun
(C) appear on the surface of the Sun as dark spots although never sighted at
(D) appear as dark spots on the surface of the Sun, although never having been sighted at
(E) appear as dark spots on the Sun's surface, which have never been sighted on
我选的是B。关于B为什么错的，OG的解释是
Changing the modifying clause so that that never ... Sun distorts the meaning of the sentence; the contrast is lost
从句意而言，选择B可以理解为"sunspots被看成dark spots。这种dark spots从未在太阳的表面被观察到过。" --- 或许暗指在太阳的内部被观察到过？
我的质疑是，为什么一定要contrast呢？B的句意本身没有问题啊。
94. Last year, land values in most parts of the pinelands rose almost so fast, and in some parts even faster than what they did outside the pinelands．
(A) so fast，and in some parts even faster than what they did
(B) so fast，and in some parts even faster than，those
(C) as fast，and in some parts even faster than，those
(D) as fast as，and in some parts even faster than，those
(E) as fast as，and in some parts even faster than what they did
这个题目的答案是D。
把句子提炼一下，可以得到 Land values rose as fast as those outside the pinelands.
我的感觉，应该是Land values rose as fast as those did outside the pinelands.
fast并不是直接形容values，而是形容rose的，不是吗？
no9,原句想表达的意思点是XX在表面能看到而在poles or equator看不到, SC的目的是改错,不是造一个新句子出来,要在选项中选最合适的,从这个思想出发,就是A对
94 是各自的values比,所以动词是可以省略的.
9 GMAT语法考试中，原句其实就把逻辑关系，句子主从关系定好了，这里原句有比较，那么B的比较丢失了就不对。以原文划线部分意思为参考。
94：我理解是这样的
按理说，比较丛句和主句谓语相同时，可用did代替。
那还有一条规则：如果比较丛句和主句的主语和谓语都相同时，那可以全部省去。常常保留作状语的介词短语或状语丛句。
这里按理说都省去也可以，但这里land values in most parts of the pinelands rose和land values outside the pinelands rose的对称，这里有in most parts of the pinelands和outside the pinelands对land values的限定，如果省略可能意思就不清楚。所以保留了those代替重复出现的名词land values.即使要补出did也该补在最后面而不是LZ理解的those did outside the pinelands。
