现在在做的事情

认认真真模考看解析
认认真真学曼哈顿
学gmat 的都是好样的
想要攻克gmat sc 的高分裤题目没有那么容易
考点相互夹杂，做题process 要稳住。
加油先每次都多做对1道题！！就1题
其实也希望自己是那种上次640 下次740的人但现实就是不是啊

昨天临睡前还有失眠
就想什么时候到了700分来chasedream 上写机经
所有的有效药都好像有用那么一段段时间还是要面对题目做不对弄清楚新的点做旧的题目

working order： Here's the complete work order:
1. Read the ENTIRE sentence and identify 0-2 mistakes in it with the help of Stop Signs（you stop and think）
2. Go over the 5 answer choices vertically, focusing only on the part(s) in which the original sentence is mistaken. Eliminate answer choices that repeat the original mistake(s). If you're left with one answer choice only - choose it.
3. If you're left with more than one answer choice, eliminate all grammatically incorrect/ illogical answer choices. If you're left with one answer choice only - choose it.
4. If you're left with more than one answer choice, eliminate all stylistically flawed answer choices (i.e., redundant and/or ambiguous ones). If you're left with one answer choice only - choose it.
5. If you're left with more than one answer choice, eliminate all answer choices that change the meaning of the original sentence. If you're left with one answer choice only - choose it.
6. If you're left with more than one answer choice, eliminate all answer choices that do not fit into the rest of the sentence (i.e., the part of the original sentence which is not underlined).
---
You may find it easier to remember the work order according to the acronym ROGer iS Mean & Fit, which stands for:
Read and eliminate: the Original mistake, Grammatical errors \ illogical sentences, Stylistic flaws, change of Meaning, and answers that don't Fit.

stop signs： 1）A long, complex subject or a great distance between subject and verb
2） Stop Sign: A plural subject made up of singular nouns that are connected by and
3）Stop Sign: a pseudo-plural singular subject 假复数
1. Subject ends with -s
news, thesis, hypothesis, crisis, analysis, politics, physics, mathematics, economics, ethics, athletics

2. Collective Nouns Collective nouns are nouns which refer to more than one person/animal. They are considered singular subjects. The following words are examples of common collective nouns:
audience, committee, congregation, family, flock, group, staff, team.

For some reason, the word police is considered a plural subject. Thus, we should say, "The police are looking for the serial killer".
an X of Y subject 主语是x of y 的形式
4）A modifier                                                                                                                      1. Verb+ing or Verb in 3rd form
2. Separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma
3. Appears at the very beginning of the sentence
Whenever you see this Stop Sign, focus on the modifier: check whether the noun right after the modifier is indeed the noun that the modifier describes. If it doesn't - you found your mistake. 看修饰语旁边的名词是不是对的如果不是就有问题

-Dangling modifier mistakes in Sentence Correction questions

Since a modifier describes a certain noun, it should be next to it. The modifier can come before the noun it describes or after it, but in any case should be right next to the noun it describes, with nothing else between them.
If you encounter a sentence in which the modifier is not right next to the noun it describes, it means that the modifier is misplaced, that is, in the wrong place. This is a dangling modifier mistake.
Example: Wearing a flattering red top, all the men in the room looked at Jane.

-Correcting dangling modifier mistakes
A. Changing the location of the modifier and/or the noun so that they're right next to each other
Example: Wearing a flattering red top, Jane was looked at by all the men in the room.
B. Rephrasing the sentence so that it no longer uses a modifier.
Example: All the men in the room looked at Jane, who was wearing a flattering red top.
5）Every pronoun in the underlined part of the sentence or after it
check the agreement between the pronoun and the noun to which it refers. If they do not agree, you have found your mistake.

stylistic Pronoun mistakes of ambiguity ：the pronoun agrees with more than just the noun to which it refers.                                                                                     Example:  The cat is lying on the floor. Its eyes are closed.
In the above example, the pronoun Its agrees with both the cat and the floor, which makes the sentence ambiguous. Although it is clear that Its refers to the cat - the floor has no eyes - the sentence is still grammatically ambiguous. So far, so good. Is it really that simple?

Simple? the GMAT? We wish.
Note that since ambiguity is a stylistic mistake, it will not always be corrected. Grammatical mistakes must always be corrected, but not stylistic mistakes. The correct answer to a Sentence Correction question can be ambiguous. Remember, grammar and logic come first, style is secondary to them.
That's not to say that if we spot an ambiguity mistake, we can ignore it. Any mistake we find, we aspire to correct. However, if we don't find a perfect answer choice, one that is both grammatically and stylistically correct, we might have to settle for an answer choice which  is stylistically flawed.

Sentence Correction: What to do if we don’t find a mistake in the original sentence

If we don’t find a mistake in the original sentence, it can be because
A. There’s no mistake in it
B. There is a mistake but we didn't identify it.

Since we cannot be absolutely sure that there is no mistake, it is too risky to simply choose answer choice (A) and move on to the next question. Remember that a mistake can be redundancy or ambiguity, not just a grammatical mistake, so even if the sentence looks perfectly OK from the point of view of grammar, (A) might still not be the correct answer.

So what do we do in such cases?

We don’t know on which part of the answer choices we should focus, so we must read answer choices (B)-(E) from beginning to end. This means that solving the question will probably take longer than usual, but we have no choice. Of course it’s better to answer questions both quickly and correctly, but if we cannot do so, it’s better to answer correctly and a bit more slowly than to answer quickly but incorrectly.
The elimination process is the same as always: we eliminate grammatically incorrect and illogical answer choices first. If we’re left with more than one answer choice, we eliminate stylistically flawed answer choices (i.e., redundant and ambiguous ones). If we’re left with more than one answer choice, we eliminate answer choices that change the meaning of the original sentence and, finally, if we’re still left with more than one answer choice, we eliminate answer choices that do not fit into the original sentence.
