their likelihood - White women 比较对象不对等


likelihood of ... is twice as much as 表达不符合习惯

sorry, Juan, 我错把BC看成AB了,所以对C的错误给出了解释。

答案应该是B,A中they have twice the likelihood中的twice表达意思很模糊,而且这种表达也不及B简洁。

谢谢stoneren GG.

不过我倒没觉得A中twice表达模糊。我只是觉得只有the likelihood of ...和the likelihood that...没有the likelihood to do ..的用法。你觉得呢?

twice从句意上应该修饰likelihood,而不是have这个动词,但是twice是个副词,所以只能修饰have,所以B就避免了这个问题,twice修饰likely

这题我选D。觉得A、B、C中的advises women of color that+从句有问题。剩下只有在D、E中选,E的表达明显罗嗦,所以选D。

请NN们继续指点。

偶也选D,但是being常常是错误选项的标志。

请NN指正!
