楼主这两天在看SC的语义这一块，PREP12上面有不少好题，但CD上的讨论帖甚少，真是捉鸡。。。。大家一起来看看这道题呀~

Withoutadequateamountsof sleep, people’snewlyacquired skillsand alsonew factual information may not get properly encoded into their memory circuits.

A. Without adequate amounts of sleep, people's newly acquired skills and also

B. Without the adequate amount of sleep they need, people's newly acquired skills and even

C. If they do not have adequate amounts of sleep, people's newly acquired skills and even

D. If people do not get adequate amounts of sleep, newly acquired skills and even

E. If people do not get the adequate amount of sleep they need, newly acquired and also

Logical predication; Rhetorical construction

The sentence is about what happens to people's memories when peopledon't get enough sleep. The sentence needs to clarify that it is peoplewho need sleep, not their skills or the information they absorb.

A. The opening modifier Withoutadequateamountsofsleepillogically describes people's skills, rather than people. In addition, this use of andalsois awkwardly redundant.

B. The terms adequateandtheyneedare redundant; the opening modifier still describes skills, as in sentence A. The pronoun theynonsensically refers to skillsrather than the possessive people's.

C. The pronoun theynonsensically refers to skillsrather than the possessive people's.

D. Correct. By inserting the noun peopleas the subject of the main verb do...get, the sentence clarifies that people rather than skills are without sleep; skillsthen becomes the subject of the second verb may...get.

E. The terms adequateandtheyneedare redundant, as is the phrase andalso.

The correct answer is D.
我在D和E里纠结了以下，还是认为E更好，理由如下：p eo pl e’s new ly ac quire d skill s and also new factual information may......原句中两个词组用and also连接，表示并列关系，我认为很合理，所以选项不应该随意改动句意，D选项...and even将原来的并列关系变成了递进关系，我认为不妥；而E选项，虽然有点啰嗦，但句意与原句一致。

我觉得显然是D比较好，and also在这里就很奇怪啊。
而且所谓原句（A选项）意思不好随意改动的说法是不存在的，相信楼主在做题目的过程中经常会碰到A选项扭曲逻辑意思，或者根本不符合逻辑的情况。举一个例子

Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering her letters to anyone else.

A. Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering

B. Dickinson were written over a period that begins a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ended shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

C. Dickinson, written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and that ends shortly before Emily’s death in 1886 and outnumbering

D. Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother, ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, and outnumbering

E. Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

本题答案选E，outnumber在这里做动词，而A选项中的outnumbering则是修饰语，按照不能随意改动原句的说法那么就不能选E咯

230. (T-4-Q4) A novelist who turned away from literary realism to write romantic stories about the peasant life and landscape of northern Sweden, Selma Lagerlöf became in 1909 the first woman and also the first Swedish writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

hh，我也来举一个证据，and also在gmat中不属于绝对错误选项，also表示强调。所以我觉得A选项的意思没问题，不应该随意改变

楼主的意思是A选项虽然某些搭配用错了，但是表述的意思没问题，所以我们不应该随便改动A选项中其他的搭配是嘛？我觉得这个想法可以在走投无路的时候当一个蒙一蒙的方法吧，但是绝对不能用这个判断标准来排除某一个选项。SC其实是个填空题，A选项相较于其它选项并没有任何的特殊地位。本题里D和E选项的差异在于they need和and also/even，我认为通过不该改动and also排除D选项是不可取的。另外我仔细读题以后发现这里的and also/even似乎区别并不大，所以通过redundant排除就可以啦

哎，之前也是听某厨师学校的老师说A选项的意思不能随便改，做了一些题目后才发现都是胡说八道啊。。。
