正确答案是C，用到了一个常用搭配not so cuch。。。as。。。，这个没有问题，但是在看以前的帖子的时候，发现了一位朋友的解答，帖子地址是： http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-404045-1-1.html?SearchText=OG12 96 这位朋友的解答在2楼，原话是： “既然你明白了between...and 的用法，那么答案是C无疑。这里为什么不能用but ,not....but的用法没有错误，可是你要知道but和and一样，连接的是两个并列关系，而but之后也要有一个独立的具有完整 主谓结构的从句，可是but后面是句子吗？只是in our....的介词短语。 而as可以连接两个相类似的短语，而且，not so much as是个常用的用法”
我的疑问是： 1 这位CDer关于not 。。。but。。。的说法对吗？我个人认为不对吧，如果用not 。。。but。。。的话是不是就涉及到省略的问题了，求NN指教！ 2.如果他的解释不对的话，在不考虑原句意的情况下我想把D选项改正确，使其在语法上没错，并且我想使用not。。。but。。。这个搭配，下面哪个改法是正确的呢 ？ 甲：one of the primary distinctions our intelligence has from that of other primates may lie not in any specific skill but in our ability to extend knowledge gained in one context to new and different ones. 乙：one of the primary distinctions our intelligence has from that of other primates may not lie in any specific skill but lie in our ability to extend knowledge gained in one context to new and different ones.
