The first decision for most tenants living in a undergoing being converted to cooperative ownership is if to sign a no-buy pledge with the other tenants.
A. being converted to cooperative ownership is if to sign
B. being converted to cooperative ownership is whether they should be signing
C. being converted to cooperative ownership is whether or not they sign
D. conversion to cooperative ownership is if to sign
E. conversion to cooperative ownership is whether to sign

Correct Answer is E. I have a few questions as below.
1.      what role is “living in a undergoing being converted to cooperative ownership” playing here in the sentence? And how and when to use “undergo”?
2.      “living in a undergoing conversion to cooperative ownership”, what role is the underlying words playing here?
3.      is whether should be followed by “to”, when option E change to “conversion to cooperative ownership is whether or not they sign”, is it still right?

4. “living in a undergoing being converted to cooperative ownership”是作tenants的后置定语,由于undergoing有仍在进行中的意思,所以和being重复;
a undergoing conversion to cooperative ownership是一个背景;
不能换成whether or not,一般当whether引导宾语从句的时候or not最好省略,而当引导状语从句的时候则最好不要省略
14.B没有C简洁,而且though without taste and odor的插入使得detectable和by humans隔得远了
10.A中的it是指代that从句,形成了一个强调句。B中的it没有指代对象,正确的写法应该是they did not inspire imitations of Western designers, artists, and crafters until the latter half of the nineteenth century
14.个人认为用if比用when要好。我觉得这里they也可以理解成指代colors,但是相比直接用if(这时必然指代colors),C是唯一选择;
16.应该也没什么问题,但是没有C好。其实一直不明白为什么这道题要用完成时~
17.it没有指代的对象
23.因为whose离branches更近

觉得楼主贴出来的题目,我自己好像也错了不少。。。等待更多高手解答。

The airline's proposed purchases of as many as 250 medium-range planes will probably be the basis of an overhaul of its routes; it is expected that they will increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, instead of continue to use feeder aircraft to bring passengers to major hubs.
A. it is expected that they will increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, instead of continue
B. it is expected that it will increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, rather than to continue
C. it is expected that the number of direct point-to-point flights will increase, instead of their continuing
D. the airline is expected to increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, rather than continue
E. the airline is expected to increase the number of direct point-to-point flights, instead of its continuing

这道题目我觉得A错的原因是IT指代前面的名词的话,是指代整个名词短语,所以在这个选项中IT应该指代 the airline's proposed purchase,那么不能在后面的句子中做主语。
B错的话,THEY指代,同样的错误
C错的话,同样their不知道指代什么
E错的话,instead of前后好像不平行

只是我个人的意见,仅供参考

D. seen monkeys sleeping on the branches, with arms and legs hanging
E. seen monkeys sleeping on the branches, whose arms and legs have hung

个人见解是,whose有修饰branches的可能所以,在这里语义模糊,错误

Correct answer is A. what is the difference of “it” in option A and Option B.

这道题目我也做错了~~~
AB中的it is....that...句型应该是一个强调句,强调中间的时间状语。

其他题目求高手解答,错误率都有一半了~~~哭。。。。

哈哈  发现最近超爱翻老贴 嘻嘻 写写自己的步骤 加深下理解
It is the powerful compound capsaicin that makes a chili pepper hot; a single drop that has no taste and odor is capable of detection by humans at one part per million.
A. a single drop that has no taste and odor is capable of detection
B. a single drop is detectable, though without taste and odor,
C. a single tasteless and odorless drop can be detected
D. single tasteless and odorless drops are capable of detection
E. single drops that have no taste or odor can be detectable根据原来句子 推测intended meaning
XX 使得 辣椒hot ;一滴可以被human 检测
水滴不能检测自己
delete A D  
接着modifier without XXX 修饰的是detectable delete B
这块我也不太理解  等真明白在补更
E 选项满屏看去 就他一个drops  ,并且single drops ??也不合逻辑 比如herl说的 很多滴检测很辣?
