正确选项是E，但是其中spend的习惯用法我有异议。从高中开始我们就学到spend sth on sth;spend sth in doing sth. E项的spends ... on defending...是不是有错呢？
有错的话，习惯用法应该是应错误吧？为什么E有对了呢？搞不明白
1. 这题的考点不在spend, 而是句子的歧义，gg仔细看看OG的解释.
2. 准确地说，高中里我们学的是国家教委要我们学习的英语，而不是GMAT里要考的英语. 看OG最重要的是去适应ETS的思路，而不是去印证ETS和高中里学的有什么不一样.
谢谢！
那么，ets中还有没有其他词和短语习惯用法和我们以前学的不同的吗？
若有，以前有没有帖子讨论过呀？
短语的习惯用法不是关键，GMAT重点考的是对句子的逻辑分析能力，讲究对称平行，逻辑合理，简洁有效. 从目前的考试趋势来看，短语的习惯用法考的越来越少，毕竟这个东东知道就是知道，不知道就是不知道，很难看出考生的能力。
几个常考的短语，比如consider, credit, distinguish, require等等，OG上都有解释.
这个问题提得太好了，之前没有注意到，查了字典才发现spend的用法是有区别的：
spend money on sb/sth
spend time in/at sth
spend time doing sth
这道题的spend是花钱。

我记得语法点是这样 -
金钱：spend on sth. / spend on doing sth.
时间：spend at/in sth. / spend (in) doing sth.
至于‘为某人花钱’，我觉得应该是spend money for sb.
请大家指正！
