楼主问的好,不过看了其它选项,错误都比这个C严重,所以只能选它了,顺道看一下这道题 62. (27694-!-item-!-188;#058&003624)
A survey of 765 working women over eighteen years of age found that 60 percent of them worked 40 or more hours a week and for married women with children under eighteen it was more likely that they would work different shifts from their husbands.
(A) for married women with children under eighteen it was more likely that they would work different shifts from their husbands (B) for married women whose children were under eighteen, they were more likely than other married women to work shifts different from their husbands' (C) when married women had children under eighteen it was more likely for them to be working different shifts from those of their husbands' (D) that married women with children under eighteen were more likely than other married women to work shifts different from their husbands' (E) that when married women had children under eighteen they were more likely to be working shifts that differed from their husbands 根据白勇等语法书,them/they/their在同一句里出现,都应该指代同一事物,但这里的them和their指代的也不是一个事物。但其它选项里都有their,而且还有别的错误,所以排除了。 刚发现,这两句有个共性,都是两个并列的that从句中的两个相同代词指代不同事物。我的分析是,如果第一个it是在主句出现,那么后边两个分句的it一定要跟第一个相对,但如果两个分句各自出现相同代词,则优先就近指代。 GMAT的出题的目的是从5个选项里选最好的,并不是要说明正确选项一定是最优的表达
