1、should有应该的意思。
2、that fees错误,指代不清,那个fees,上下文判断不出that fees是哪个。gmat考试里面this that these those不可以随便加在名词前面噢,加了,就要找对应的。
3、of是介词,介宾介宾,宾语提前当主语了,谁来做of的宾语。
4、我也不懂,求解。搜到了原题,应该是矮子里面拔高子了,假如有一个a higher number of family dwellings per capita than any other large city做选项,肯定更好。
5、whereas.....,if.....,they...and if....., they...... 见过从句里面套从句的,.........that if......., they.......,没见过在主句里面套从句的,这个whereas.....,if.....,they...and if....., they...... 就是在主句里面套从句。
第三题那个,我在原贴中说错了,不是倒装,是被动。我现在在猜,是否是英语中不能用"may be done"这种被动表述方法。
第一、二题我同意,先这么死记硬背。
第四、五题多谢ayoyoyo的指教,我同意你的观点。作者: May97 时间: 2018-3-6 20:49
