GMAT语法补充材料(共885题)中的几道题讨论。
I was confused by following questions. Please help me out. Thanks in advance.
Section A
11. Marketing researchers have found that, because many residents of the Southeast do not share the same ethnic heritage as Northeasterners, the two varieties of commercially prepared coleslaw most popular in New York City and Boston are virtually ignored by consumers in Richmond and Raleigh. (A) because many residents of the Southeast do not share the same ethnic heritage as (B) because many residents of the Southeast do not share the same ethnic heritage with (C) because many residents of the Southeast do not have the same ethnic heritage as (D) due to many residents of the Southeast not sharing the same ethnic heritage with (E) whereas many residents of the Southeast do not share the same ethnic heritage as
Option A and C only have 1 difference. A uses "Share" while C uses "Have". Why the answer is C? I can not see any big difference between these 2 words.
Section B
1. Not all employment selection mechanisms that have a “disparate effect,” that is, that screens out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate to their presence in the relevant labor market, are unlawful. (A) that is, that screens out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate to (B) which means, that screens out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate with (C) which means, that screen out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate with (D) that is, that screen out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate to (E) that is, that screens out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate with
The answer is D. However, first, "Screen out sth" is not consistent with plural "ARE unlawful". Secondly, the sentence divides the subject and predicate without any parenthesis, thus againsting the rule of LZM that subject and predicate can't be divided without reasons. Third, "Screen out" is a Verb, not a Noun. "Screening out " should be used instead. From my point of view, the correct should be: which means that screening out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate to their presence in the relevant labor market is unlawful.
5. In presenting his modus vivendi proposal, Lansing implied that the American government accepted the German view that armed merchant vessels were warships: however, when the proposal was dropped by the Wilson administration, it seemed to be reverting to the British view on this question. (A) when the proposal was dropped by the Wilson administration, it (B) after it was dropped, the Wilson administration (C) by dropping the proposal, the Wilson administration (D) the Wilson administration dropped the proposal when it (E) when they dropped the proposal, the Wilson administration
The answer is B. However, I believed D is also correct. Any comments?
8. One pervasive theory explains the introduction of breakfast cereals in the early 1900s as a result of the growing number of automobiles, which led to a decline in horse ownership and a subsequent grain glut; by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored. (A) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored (B) persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium (C) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, it restored market equilibrium (D) the persuasion of people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium (E) market equilibrium was restored when people were persuaded to eat former horse feed
The answer is B. While I think D is better. According to LZM theories, persuading emphasis action and lasting, while persuasion underline the result of action which is more appropriate here.
