GWD-10-Q1

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

而plan to do与plan on doing都可以

Be likely to, 根据此，认为C选项比较好。

可是答案给的是A,为什么呢?

以下转自论坛，参考一下，个人认为挺有道理的

A 中强调的是Practice

C: 中强调的是Plan.

从原文的意思上讲,强调的是PRACTICE.

从语法结构上讲, A 也没有错误. 比较的对象是GRADUATTES, 是主语并且

补出了系动词.

可我这边版本的答案是C

奇怪

GWD的SC还是比较奇怪的

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！
