243. Some scientists have been critical of the laboratory tests conducted by the Federal Drug Administration on the grounds that the amounts of suspected carcinogens fed to animals far exceeds those that humans could consume.
(A) far exceeds those that humans could consume
(B) exceeds by far those humans can consume
(C) far exceeds those humans are able to consume
(D) exceed by far those able to be consumed by humans
Choice E is best. The plural verb exceed agrees in number with its subject, amounts, and the phrase those that humans could consume conveys the intended meaning clearly and without unnecessary wordiness. In choices A, B, and C, the singular exceeds does not agree in number with its plural subject, amounts. Choices B and C omit the conjunction that _an omission that is grammatically acceptable, but in the case of this sentence diminishes clarity. In D, the use of the passive voice in the phrase those able to be consumed by humans is unjustified, as it increases wordiness while stating the meaning less precisely: it is accurate to call humans "able,' but not to call those [amounts] "able."
No questions regarding the answer. But why in E, the right answer, ETS uses " could consume" rather than "can consume"? If all things equal and only difference is "could" and "can", in this question, which one should we choose?
Choices B and C omit the conjunction that _an omission that is grammatically acceptable, but in the case of this sentence diminishes clarity.
why? thanks so much!
为了和fed to animals 对称是否需要to be consumed by humans 呢。
我越来越分不清到底怎样算是对称呢， 因为前面是被动的好像后面又是主动的如果不是EXCEEDS OR EXCEED 的区别的话，我就认为to be consumed by humans 更好了但解释却说它是WORDY， 求救！！
Choices B and C omit the conjunction that _an omission that is grammatically acceptable, but in the case of this sentence diminishes clarity.
why? thanks so much!

因为those 可以与后面的humans结合，组成those humans作为consume的逻辑主语
243. Some scientists have been critical of the laboratory tests conducted by the Federal Drug Administration on the grounds that the amounts of suspected carcinogens fed to animals far exceeds those that humans could consume.
(A) far exceeds those that humans could consume
(B) exceeds by far those humans can consume
(C) far exceeds those humans are able to consume
(D) exceed by far those able to be consumed by humans
(E) far exceed those that humans could consume
为什么用复数呢？虽然amount是可数+不可数，可是我觉得这里用单数好，就像the number of一样……
另外，B) exceeds by far those humans can consume，这里省略了those that humans can consume
我只想确定一下ets的一个原则，宾语从句that不能胜，那么定语从句that能省马？？
应该定语从句中that做宾语可以省略吧
有这个原则吗?
可以想成宾语从句就是THAT 当连词,
定语从句THAT 当关代吗?
thanks~
應該是that 當賓語時(S+V+O+that S+V) 可以省略that 不影響句意 但這題因為有those 為避免錯亂 所以保留
that 當定語也可以省略 是變成分詞構句的省略方式吧
但是在GMAT 裡面 that 有強制限制性的意味 有時還是要看句意決定 要用that從句 還是分詞來表達
再討論
thanks!! very clear now
可以举个that 当定语的case 吗?
请问原题目中的on the grounds that怎么理解？
谢谢！
我认为that引导同位语
请问原题目中的on the grounds that怎么理解？
谢谢！
