Shliapentokh's study indicated that , in the Soviet Union, women's absenteeism from their jobs, despite their home duties and their child-care responsibilities, were only a fifth of men. A were only a fifth of men B were only a fifth of men's C was only a fifth of men's D was only a fifth of men E was a fifth only of that of the men
答案是c 我选了D Manhattan 中明确写道 “ you shouldn't choose of X's on the GMAT, choose either the form of X or the form X's 那这道题的答案是错了吗? 求解释啊!!!
you shouldn't choose of X's on the GMAT, choose either the form of X or the form X's 这个原则,只是在逻辑含义+语法无任何问题的情况下优选使用的,而本题,如果冒然选择D,那么就会有致命伤:比较对象不对等women's absenteeism和a fifth of men,这才是考点split!

曼哈顿里说的of X's,和这道题里的of X's 不是一回事。曼哈顿说的错误是指 "the apple of Amy's" 应该说Amy's apple 或者 the apple of Amy,但是这道题a fifth of men's 并不是men’s fifth的意思,是省略了absenteeism - a fifth of men's absenteeism。
好吧,2011年的帖子,LZ可能MBA都毕业了,还是忍不住回一下贴
这道题e的解释是:E. The placement of only in this wordy sentence illogically asserts that women's absenteeism was a fifth of men's absenteeism and probably additional fractions (other than a fifth) of other kinds of absenteeism.
