GWD-10-Q1. ＮＮ，ＨＥ

According to a survey of graduating medical students conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice in socioeconomically deprived areas.

1. minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice

2. minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates who plan on practicing

3. minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing

4. it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice

5. it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice

 我选Ａ了，觉得than 后有个are 更有平行的感觉，答案除了Ａ还有版本选Ｃ了，ＮＮ们意见呢？

than 后面应该跟名词,加了一个are 似乎多余了

不过我也看到过有答案给的是a

个人认为C比较好，固定用法应该是be likely to do

至于are的省略和补出，可以参考og一题

A study commissioned by the Department of Agriculture showed that if calves exercise and associated with other calves, they will require less medication and gain weight quicker than do those raised in confinement.

A) associated with other calves, they will require less medication and gain weight quicker than do

B) associated with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight quicker than

C) associate with other calves, they required less medication and will gain weight quicker than do

D) associate with other calves, they have required less medication and will gain weight more quickly than do

E) associate with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight more quickly than

og11版的解释说比较是存在于两种calves之间的，the verb do ungrammatically interrupts tha comparison and should be eliminated

我觉得补出和省略还是以逻辑意思为重，如下面og一题也不是主谓宾结构，但为了逻辑意思清楚，必须补出were

Inuits of the Bering Sea were in isolation from contact with Europeans longer than Aleuts or Inuits of the North Pacific and northern Alaska

ans: isolated from contact with Europeans longer than were

这里补出were是因为原文有歧义，看不出因纽特人是和谁隔绝了，加上were，逻辑意思清楚

associate with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight more quickly than those raised in confinement这句，一方面是因为比较的双方已经十分清楚了，就是两种calves之间的，另一方面，前面do可以指代的动词不唯一，补出反倒不清楚。

这就是所谓的“补出不一定对，不补出不一定错”。

我来完结了这个争议吧！

有人争议A，A错误在于are:     X is ...more ..than Y

虽然plan to do与plan on doing都可以
                    

Be likely to是固定搭配,  C选项！
