谢谢指教～

likely的作用搞清楚了

be likely to do

但这2道题而言

42题翻过前人的帖子说more likely than are本来就会引起歧义，用as likely as更好，但38题不是就用了嘛

困惑ing...

要么more...than..，要么as...as...，结构一定要完整的。

首先排除D E

ABC 根据be likely to do sth排除A

B中who plan on practicing修饰的是other graduate，而句子的意思plan on practicing即修饰minority graduate也修饰other graduate

看了各位的评论后，我觉得：

首先注意 be likely to 的作用——42

其次，在38题中 (B) the elderly in the United States are four times as likely to give regular financial aid to their children as it is for them 虽然和42题都用了 as likely to do as 的句型但是主要错误在as it is for them 没有平行
