第一题论坛有讨论过。比较对象的对等：women who took new jobs和those who retired比较，其中those代替了前面出现过的women。但是关于more so than的讨论比较有争议，我也不确定，待nn们指教。

第二题：欢迎nn补充，目前只想到这些

A>at one time不如once简洁和清楚;Although, however不能同用

B>limited应紧跟to a few hrs a week;at one time不如once

C>networks with children's programming与后面 for children重复

E>被动语态不如主动好

第二題

A) Although at one time children’s programming had been limited to a few hours a week, now, however, there are at least four cable networks that dedicate themselves

although already has the meaning of however, the following sentence should reflect opposite result; however is unecessary

B)With children’s programming having been limited at one time to a few hours a week, now at least four cable networks have dedicated themselves

Preposition phrase "With..." modifies subject closely follows the phrase, not this case.

C)Once limited to a few hours a week, there are now at least four cable networks with children’s programming that dedicate themselves

Advert clause, the same reason as B), needs to modify the subject closely follows. Programmings do not dedicate themselves, cable networks do. wrong

D)Children’s programming was once limited to a few hours a week, but now there are at least four cable networks dedicated

correct, separate two logically related ideas in two complete SV form, "but" shows the opposite result in logical relation.

E)While children’s programming had once been limited to a few hours a week, at least four cable networks are now dedicated

same reason as C)

由於我用的是POE所以花的時間可能微久,如果有更強的NN能夠一眼就點出 D 麻煩指正... Thanks!

Q9: PP 51.

A study on couples' retirement transitions found that women who took new jobs after retiring from their primary careers reported high marital satisfaction, more so than those who retired completely.

A. more so than those who retired (so 指代reported high marital satisfaction; those 指代women)

Q16: PP52.

Although at one time children’s programming had been limited to a few hours a week, now, however, there are at least four cable networks that dedicate themselves (although与however作用重复; at one time可以改成once; network不能主动)
With children’s programming having been limited at one time to a few hours a week, now at least four cable networks have dedicated themselves (with独立主格表达的意思不符合原句的转折需要; network不能主动)
Once limited to a few hours a week, there are now at least four cable networks with children’s programming that dedicate themselves (limited to无逻辑主语; network不能主动)
Children’s programming was once limited to a few hours a week, but now there are at least four cable networks dedicated
While children’s programming had once been limited to a few hours a week, at least four cable networks are now dedicated (once位置不对;while有转折的意思,但也表示同时进行的两件事,表达不合原句意 )
