大概意思:在商业成衣制作结构中,用单针头缝纫机包边的一个优势是当接缝被缝合的时候,缝份是(能够被)锁边的,而不像在一个分离的(缝纫)过程中会需要更宽的缝份。

这题很多生词,其实不需要纠结他的意思,根据句子结构就可以判断正确选项

这里主要就是判断两个对比结构是否平行
x:(serging )over single needle sewing
y:(serging )in a separate process
所以C,D,E选项都不能满足平行,因为y部分缺少个介词
剩下A,B。 我个人是觉得with表达的意思很显然没有in 好~~而且GMAT也更偏好rather than

另外补充一下,这道题是模仿og10的一道SC出的,我把它复制过来

40. In metalwork one advantage of adhesive-bonding over spot-welding is that the contact, and hence the bonding, is effected continuously over a broad surface instead of a series of regularly spaced points with no bonding in between.

A. instead of
B. as opposed to
C. in contrast with
D. rather than at
E. as against being at

The corrected sentence must contrast an effect of spot-welding with an effect of adhesive-bonding. To do so logically and grammatically, it must describe the effects in parallel terms. When inserted into the sentence, D produces the parallel construction over a broad surface rather than at a series. Having no word such as over or at indicate location, choices A, B, and C fail to complete the parallel and so illogically draw a contrast between surface and series. In E, as against being is a wordy and unidiomatic way to establish the intended contrast. Choice D is best.
