一道New Gmat prep摸考题目

a study on couple's retirement transition 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

答案是C,  请教一下句子结构,我知道是women who took new jobs.. more so than those who retired completely
但是为什么前面部分可以省略,这是个什么结构啊,可以修饰主语,还有so 指什么?

a study on couple's retirement transition found that women who took new jobs after retiring from their primary careers reported high marital satisfaction, more than when retiring completely.
基本是这个结构,a study ....found...women (找工作) ....more than.....those(完全退休)


repoorted high.....修饰women who。。。。。,退休后找工作的women 被报道有很高的满意度的


more than 比较的是两类人,由于都是women,则more than 后面就用those,保证比较对象的平行关系,more than 后必须要有woman,根据主语一致的避免重复原则,women用those代替。所以排除A/B.


D中使用 which was more so than those retiring从句则是定语从句,但是修饰对象不清,就近修饰的会所则是修饰high marital satisfaction,则逻辑意思不对。另外比较关系不明显,改变了句子中心,以修饰为主。所以不好。


比较对象是women who took new jobs after...和those who retired completlely


“但是为什么前面部分可以省略”C没省略什么啊,those who对应 women who,再往前就是that引导词了


so 感觉是一个副词,表达程度的,“NO more so than只不过”和“no more than”就是程度上的差别咯。不过老实讲,感觉有点怪,但是也只有这个选项了。

谢谢
我也是用排除法的。大体同意楼上的思路,不过 reported high 是谓语,不是修饰语,可能你知道,只是表达不同而已。
可能more than在句末可以修饰主语吧,类似的怪题,我感觉挺多。原来对语法有点信心了,又少了

还有一题我错了
paleotologist Stephen Jay Gould has argued that many biological traits are not the products of natural selection, favored due to their enhancement of reproduction or survival, buy that they are simply random by products of other evolutionary development.

b. due to the reproduction or survival they enhance, but they are
c. because they enhance reproduction or survival, but
d. because they enhance reproduction or survival, but are

anw is D, I select C.  why "are " is needed here, still confusing,,,,,,
what is favored?.... natural selections or what

NO


found是整句句子的谓语,后面跟that从句


“可能more than在句末可以修饰主语吧”修饰主语?修饰什么?study?more than 是比较结构,比较成分必须对称啊。你是说stduy more than。。。?说不通啊

感觉还是不清晰

还是顶着问问吧, "so" refers to "reported high marital satisfation"?

more than 逗号在末尾,可以随便修饰主语,谓语,宾语? 类似的句子在比较数量的时候是有不少

例如:since the movie was released, seventeen UFOs have been sighted in the state, more than had been sighted in the past ten years.

哪位大牛能解释一下主语跟这个more than 怎么连接起来的呀

paleotologist Stephen Jay Gould has argued that many biological traits are not the products of natural selection, favored due to their enhancement of reproduction or survival, buy that they are simply random by products of other evolutionary development.

主+谓语+宾,done (一般修饰末端的宾语?)

why "are" is needed in the second question

are <---> are

not <---> but

products <---> (random by) products

Let's detour a little bit to Chinese. We also know we shuld have 主+谓语+宾. However, read what we write. Should we say we have made numerous grammar errors?

As long as the logic thread is clear and doesn't make confusion, it is a right expression.

GMAT is not an English proficiency test but a logic one.
