13`问题出在and的平行上，the forming of bricks是动名词，they are laid是SVO，所以不平行的。作者: candybecky 时间: 2012-7-12 23:27
哦哦 那20more than doubling的用法是错的吗？作者: jeffery2541 时间: 2012-7-12 23:30
关于20题的D选项，语法版版主是这样解释的，参考一下吧~ D: Of短语无法明确表明expectations的核心内容，应该用同位语从句；句子结构不简洁，并且意思没有B清晰。作者: jeffery2541 时间: 2012-7-12 23:34
关于doubling，prep笔记上有这样的描述： 2、用动词表达倍数： double/triple/quadruple/quintuple/sextuple ----》这些动词可以做形容词(double还能做adv, predeterminer) sth. double sth.; sth. is doubled; sth. double(adj.); 几个永远错误的形式： (1)produce double； a doubling of; produce a doubling (2)as much as twice the apples(much与apples矛盾)（要改为twice as many apples as; sth. double sth.） *：这几个动词可以用主动也可以用被动，但是不能和as搭配;（差不多记住这句话就可以）作者: imajuana 时间: 2012-7-13 14:21

the forming of bricks 的中心词应该是bricks吧？所以they 指代的是bricks作者: 周丽莎 时间: 2018-9-14 15:29
20.D选项的解读
1.doubling没有错误，但让句子结构更加复杂，不符合GMAT的clear precise的原则
2.of personal spending...的结构不能清晰的说明expectations，在这里，要说明的是expections是任命心中想的一件事，一个事实i，一个时间发生的全部过程，而不是personal spending。试想，仅仅是personal spending， 你知道人们的expectations是啥。这样的思维再GMAT中考的很多。
3.that of the 1.4% growth rate in personal spending 结构的解读：这里的that指的是谁，我想了好久，觉得每一个是可以指代的，个人觉得这个是多余的。
