Unlike many United States cities, where a river is no longer the focal point of urban life, the river in
San Antonio winds through the middle of the business district, and the River Walk, or Paseo del Rio,
is the city's most popular attraction.
(A) Unlike many United States cities, where a river is no longer the focal point of urban life, the river
in San Antonio
(B) Unlike the river in many cities in the United States, which is no longer the focal point of urban life,
in San Antonio the river
(C) Today the river in many cities in the United States is no longer the focal point of urban life,
unlike San Antonio, where it
(D) In few United States cities today, a river is the focal point of urban life, but the river in San
Antonio
(E) No longer do many cities in the United States have a river as the focal point of urban life, but in
San Antonio the river
解析说是D去掉no longer把全部否定改成部分否定，为什么啊？那个few不是表示否定的意思了吗？
我也有同样的疑问, d感觉意思并没有改变, 而且还简洁
这难道是no longer 是强调的意思,去调了改变了强调??
意思有变。
GMAT里面双重否定等有强烈语气的词是不能改的。。。
因为本来有no longer含有“以前是但是现在不是了”的意思。
但是d选项里面这个意思去掉了~
我有问题……
我想问E中的选项前面是many cities是个复述名词，后面用have a river是个单数名词，这里有没有很多城市共同拥有一条河流的歧义啊？

一开始我也有这个问题，但是所有的选项中都是复数。后来想起来一道题，见prep2-14，也是og上的题，这是GMAT的习惯用法
252. Three out of every four automobile owners in the United States also own a bicycle.
(A) Three out of every four automobile owners in the United States also own a bicycle.
(B) Out of every four, three automobile owners in the United States also owns a bicycle.
(C) Bicycles are owned by three out of every four owners of automobiles in the United States.
(D) In the United States, three out of every four
automobile owners owns bicycles.
(E) Out of every four owners of automobiles in
the United States, bicycles are also owned
by three.
A, the best choice, is concise, idiomatic, and maintains subject-verb agreement. In B, Out of every four, three is unidiomatic. The singular verb owns does not agree with its plural subject, three ... owners. The passive construction in C (Bicycles are owned by) is cumbersome and does not contribute meaningfully to the sentence. The shift to plural Bicycles detracts from clarity by suggesting that multiple bicycles are owned by each person in question. In D, the singular owns does not agree with its plural subject three... owners. Furthermore, the plural bicycles detracts from clarity by suggesting that multiple bicycles are owned by each person in question. In E, the phrase beginning Out of every four ... cannot properly modify bicycles, and the passive construction (bicycles are also owned) is awkward and does not contribute meaningfully to the sentence. The plural nouns bicycles and automobiles suggest imprecisely that each person owns more than one of each.
B 选项有什么问题吗？
OG里有一些题目，which也是可以跳跃修饰的，虽然答案是E，但是还是不明白为什么B就一定错。
难道说B选项的 the river in many cities in the United States中的 “river"要改成”rivers“才对？
恳请NN帮忙看看为什么B一定不对。

还有，B选项like/unlike A,B中，B前面最好不要有状语什么的这类东西，但是插入语除外
unlike A, （非主语的东东）B... 这种情况最好不要有，我记得好像og有个这么一种情况
但是中间双逗号的插入语除外
我后来大概搜了一搜，好像一般都是个这么情况
不太确定，做题的时候注意以下就行了~~
看看
B应该还是river少了s的缘故吧
我觉得D是逻辑上不通，前后矛盾
如今没有美国的城市将river作为城市生活的焦点，但是在San Antonio河流...
哎这个题好抓狂，感谢NN们分析才让我稍微明白点
