A study on couples' retirement transitions found that women who took new jobs after retiring from their primary careers reported high marital satisfaction, more than when retiring completely.
A study on couples' retirement transitions found that women who took new jobs after retiring from their primary careers reported high marital satisfaction, more than when retiring completely.
(A) more than when retiring (B) more than if they were to retire (C) more so than those who retired (D) which was more so than those retiring (E) which was more than if they had retired
1.读句义知道是根据women 半退休和全退休的一个比较。所以根据比较两边必须平行的原则,应该是women who took new jobs xxx more than women who retired completely,后半段必须是women who xxx,因为前半段是women who took
那么我们看选项
A.when retiring,而左边没有这个平行的结构 B.出现了if从句,可是左边么有if从句 C.Those (指代women正确) who retired,正确! D/E.都是which was的结构,错误!因为:读句义这里应该是独主结构修饰整个句子,而which不能修饰前面的整句,which这么放着只能修饰前置词satisfaction, 逻辑意思有误
根据曼哈顿的书P230的解释,DO SO可以指代entire action, 也就是do sth adv。这里我觉得是指代reported high marital satisfaction。但是我觉得这个so不是此题的考点,而是比较平行的结构才是考点。如果仅仅用so来做判断的话,可能会掉入GMAC其他题目的陷阱

不好意思,上次的分析不是很靠谱。kelly你看下这题 ...
搜到这个题号还是很开心的,很感谢你对于so的解释啊,看来明天我要翻MHT了
但是我不同意你的观点,理由是women比women的话,即A is more than B,那么系动词在哪里呢?
所以我认为more该作adj看modify satisfaction
more so = more + V + O = report high(er) marital satisfaction
more so than those who retired = report higher marital satisfaction than women who retired completely do
