87.(29293-!-item-!-188;#058&003892)

Results of a United States study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine have shown college-educated women and women living in the South and West to be significantly more likely to be using supplemental hormones as women living in the Northeast and Midwest

.

(A) college-educated women and women living in the South and West to be significantly more likely to be using supplemental hormones as women living

(B) college-educated women and women living in the South and West as significantly more likely to use supplemental hormones than if they are living

(C) college-educated women and those living in the South and West being significantly more likely to use supplemental hormones than if they lived

(D) that college-educated women and women who live in the South and West are significantly more likely to be using supplemental hormones as were women that lived

(E) that college-educated women and women living in the South and West are significantly more likely to use supplemental hormones than women living
E为什么不用在最后的women前面加are呢？主语的比较不是要加are来避免歧义吗？难道这里不加也不会有歧义？

比较的是谓语的修饰部分，所以不用加吧

若比较宾语要补出，如 the women living in the South use more supplemental hormones than do women that lived in the North

个人看法，

比较里还能比较谓语？
我觉得是主语比较，因为后面的women补出了，所以不要are了。当然，也可以加

eshopaholic · 发表于 2010-10-27 12:50:36

我想表达的意思： more 修饰的是 likely

weirui5621 · 发表于 2010-10-27 18:47:44

两位的解释还是没明白啊为什么补出了women就不用加are了？

我认为是要加的，但其它选项的错误实在是太明显了。对于加不加谓语动词，我的判断是会不会产生歧义，这道题加are就表明是主语之间的比较，但实际上supplemental hormone也是名词，完全可以理解为用more likely to use supplemental hormone than use women....尽管很arkward，语法上是行得通的。anyway，没人说gmat的语法是完美的

又找到了一个没有加are的例题 PREP1-114

114.(30583-!-item-!-188;#058&004275)

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
C选项补全：women more reported high marital satisfaction (so) than those retiring completely. 此处those 前后也没有do来避免歧义
难道真的比较就没有歧义吗？

也许是我没说清楚

因为后面的women补出了，所以不要are了。当然，也可以加。

上面的那题，也是一样的，those指代了women。所以可以省略了。

这样不知道有没有说清楚了。

本人愚钝还是没太明白请问楼上一个句子
Jack eats apples faster than John.如果这里最后不加does，那歧义不是太大了

yexuu · 发表于 2010-10-27 20:59:57

这道题跟上面那道不一样，后面这个从句和之前的那个句子之间用逗号分开，所以是直接修饰前面主语的，不会产生歧义。
