摘抄自KAPLAN:
Read the Original Sentence Carefully, Looking for Errors:
Reading the sentence carefully does not uncover any classic GMAT errors, such as verb tense or parallelism. Our scan of the choices may lead to discovering a subtler error, such as an idiom or a style issue.
Scan and Group the Answer Choices:
A quick scan of the choices leads to a 2:2:1 split based on the beginning of the choices, an alternative 2:2:1 split based on the verbs near the end of the choices, and yet another split concerning the last word.
(A) and (B) begin with “However much,” while (C) and (D) begin with “Although” and (E) begins with “Even though.” All three include a contrast keyword, but “however much” indicates that an idiom is included in the sentence.
The alternative 2:2:1 split groups (A) and (C) together because they include “may argue,” while (B) and (D) change the verb to “argue” and (E) changes the verb to “agree.” Confirm what verb tense or verb mood best fits the context of the sentence.
(A) and (E) end with "that," while the other choices end with the verb. The part of the original sentence that begins with "that" includes two clauses, "that they have found . . . and that they can halt . . . ." Both parts of this construction joined by "and" must be in parallel form. Because the second part has "that," the first part must as well.
Eliminate Choices Until Only One Remains:
Based on the last split above, compare (A) and (E), which both have "that." In (E), replacing “may argue” with “agree” changes the meaning of the sentence. Eliminate (E) and keep (A). If you did not spot the difference involving "that," you may have used another split to eliminate choices.
In (B) and (D), replacing “may argue” with the more forceful “argue” changes the meaning of the sentence. The author has a speculative tone that is altered with the new verb. Eliminate these choices as well.
In (C), the beginning replaces “However much” with “Although.” While the contrast is still included in the sentence, this choice alters the meaning of the sentence. “However much” indicates that the author knows that the officials argue, but is unsure how much. A correct answer will never change the meaning of the original sentence, so eliminate (C).
(A) is correct because it contains no errors.
TAKEAWAY: Don’t overcorrect on the GMAT. Sometimes the sentence is correct as it is written. Using a systematic approach to check for common GMAT errors will confirm that the sentence contains none.
