GWDTN17-28 原26-28 关于比较，觉得答案有误(是自己弄错了。。。)

Traffic safety officials predict that drivers will be equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as the current one.

A.     equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as

B.      equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are

C.     equally likely that they will exceed the proposed speed limit as

D.     as likely that they will exceed the proposed speed limit as

E.      as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are

答案是E，我在A和E间徘徊了很久，还是选了A。equally likely完全是可以用的，ny times很多例句，但是却没有equally likely to do sth. as sth. 我可以接受排除a因为它awkward的说法，但是却不能赞同答案e是对的。先看这题，赞同e的同学们可能会说，句子比较的是动词，they are后面省略了likely to exceed啊，补充完整就是drivers will be as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are likely to exceed the current one。事实上，我完全不同意这样的推测。举个例子就可以看得很清楚了：

I will be likely to eat apples as oranges.

如果按照答案e的说法，此句可以表达为  I will be likely to eat apples as i am oranges.这样逻辑意思是不是太荒谬了？我想，如果是比较两个主语发生某个动作likely的程度，是要补出完整主谓结构的，比如我举的这个例子的变体：I will be as likely to eat apples as you are.(这里如果是he，那我认为is就没有必要补出来，因为he是主格不是宾格，不会造成作eat宾语的歧义。)而gwd这道题目，如果是想说men drivers和women drivers超速可能性的比较，是应该在as后面用主谓结构的，可惜的是，题目明明比较的是exceed的宾语。综上，坚决不同意答案为E。请大家不吝赐教，因为我也不知道自己是不是“身在此山，不识真面”。
