D中的"it"是形式主語(empty subject), 沒有指代的對象
所以沒有"a trend 和it 呼应"這一說

D只是沒有B好, 沒有什麼大問題...

mm不用這麼早頂...因為大部份CDer都還在Zzzz...

oh, one more thing, 如果可以, 請在貼子的標題上加上題號...e.g. prep1-107

a trend ultimately placing 没有表现出will的趋势反倒像进行时或已经place 因为还原后是a trend (that is)ultimately placing

actually, fighting帶出一個很好的討論點: 到底正在分詞表達的動作是幾時發生?
我看過有兩說法:
- 本身沒有說明幾時發生
- 發生的時間跟前面的謂語發生的時間差不多
個人是比較傾向latter的說法. 可是不是很決定....還是等NN來~
==============================================
不管是那一個說法, D對place這個的確沒有B的表達得清楚

标题: expect, n+doing, 主语和宾语调换位置

这个题道出了expect的用法。expect sb.to do被动的形式是sb. be expected to do还有就是从句The scientists expected that interest rates would fall...It is expected that种it做形式主语的...

我忘记是在哪里看到过也是考expect的题里有一个迷惑错误选项就是sb.is expected that...或者Scientists expected the interest rates that...就是把expect加了双宾语。或者就是前面那几种正确形式混在一起用。有点像as...as...和more...than...混在一起用错误一样。

但从expect词的用法上来看，A,B,C,D都没有什么问题，E选项就是expect正确用法的混用错误形式并且which指代了前面一句话错误。

Women are expected to be the majority of students entering law school this fall和the majority of students entering law school this fall are expected to be women有很大区别吗？是不是第一种会有歧义，让人认为是所有的women? GMAT想在这里体现什么偏好？是否有必要揣摩women是此句重点描述对象还是the majority of students entering law school this fall是此句想要描述的主要对象？我可能有点钻牛角尖，但是这个题拿正确选项来对比错误选项，毕竟它是把原句的主语换成了宾语的。我们以后做题遇到类似情况估计还是选the majority of students entering law school this fall are expected to be women...

关于a trend我同意fighting127MM的观点。我记得n+doing结构最好还是doing的动作发生与主句谓语有同时性，如果要表达的是非同性的动作，最好不要使用doing.例如，有完成时态的从句和含有情态动词的从句最好不要改成n+doing. 这里用了will才很好的体现了时态上的先后。

恩，也可以说是which试图去指代前面整个句子整个事情，这个在GMAT语法中是不对的。

Doing的时态和主句时态一致，说明是this fall，但是很明显，应该是在this fall之后发生，所以不能用doing
